Theme for the Month of February: What's in my school bag?

In this presentation, Teacher Kate and I performed a short skit centered around the question, “What's in my school bag?” Our goal was to teach students how to respond confidently using a simple sentence pattern: “I have _____________ in my bag.” Through this interactive activity, students practiced identifying common school items and forming complete sentences, helping them build both vocabulary and sentence structure in a fun and engaging way. 

Theme for the Month of March: Easter Sunday

In this presentation, a Grade 4 student and I prepared a short skit drama to teach the students of Chungshan about the symbolism of Easter. We crafted various props, including an Easter bunny, a large egg, and a basket, to make the story more engaging and visually appealing. After the skit, we held a question-and-answer session where the principal selected a student to answer three questions related to the presentation. Of course, prizes awaited the students who participated, adding excitement and motivation to the learning experience.

Theme for the Month of April: Earth Day

Using plastic bags, eco bags, and plastic bottles as props, Teacher Bonny and I performed a short drama to teach young learners about Earth Day. Through the skit, we emphasized the importance of the 3Rs—Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle—and how these simple actions can help protect our planet. The interactive performance aimed to raise awareness and encourage students to adopt eco-friendly habits in their daily lives.

I conducted my final workshop with the English teachers, marking a meaningful conclusion to a series of collaborative professional development sessions. The primary objective of this workshop was to facilitate a thoughtful comparison between the learning styles and teaching strategies commonly used by Filipino and Taiwanese educators. Through guided discussions and shared experiences, we explored the strengths, challenges, and unique approaches of each educational culture.

This exchange of ideas not only fostered mutual understanding but also opened up opportunities for innovation in the classroom. Following the comparative discussions, the local teachers engaged in a brainstorming session where they identified best practices from both systems that could be adapted and applied within their own teaching context. The ultimate aim was to align these strategies with Taiwan's long-term goal of achieving a Bilingual Nation by 2030 .

The session highlighted the importance of flexibility, cultural awareness, and continuous learning in the journey toward bilingual education. It was a truly collaborative effort, and I was honored to be part of this exchange of knowledge and vision for the future of language learning in Taiwan.
