Hi Everyone!
I am currently immersed in educational pursuits in Taiwan, specializing in Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLEL) for fourth-grade students in Chiayi City. My instructional focus centers on the subjects of Art, Dance, and Acting. Over the past seven years in Taiwan, I have curated numerous art teaching workshops and provided guidance for student-driven art exhibitions.
My teaching environment is marked by distinctive and immersive theme rooms, encompassing an Airport for simulated check-in and check-out procedures, a Hotel where students assume roles as receptionists and guests, and a Broadcast Studio for weather reporting and forecasting. This immersive space is a collaborative venture between the city government and the Ministry of Education in Taiwan, tailored for Taiwan Foreign English Teacher Program (TFETP).
With a background as a traditional artist, art teacher, and TEFL instructor, my pedagogical approach emphasizes experiential learning, collaborative knowledge sharing, and interdisciplinary cooperation, particularly with colleagues in science and technology education. Despite being a relatively new participant in digital learning, my progress is steady, and I am eager to contribute innovative teaching ideas to the educational community.
While acknowledging that my technological proficiency may be evolving, I am honored to partake in this course. As the program approaches its conclusion, I express my gratitude for the enlightening presentations that have significantly enriched my learning journey in a condensed timeframe. Thank you for the invaluable insights and collaborative engagement throughout the course.
