Jay (韓宇捷)

I’m studying in the National Changhua University of Education, which is a teacher training college in TW. And that is why I would choose it. In NCUE, my major is geography. Especially in the human geography, I do a little of research for Fangyuan. In recently, Prof. Chu and I are attempting to sort out the contradiction between the meanings of place and the local brand, Sea Buffalo Culture in this place. I consider that will be an attractive story, after we finish it. For me, perhaps will be a teacher in the high school. I also need to take the educational-related courses to confirm that I have sufficient educational expertise to teach the students. Therefore, I’m concerned about both geography and TW education. That is my whole self-introduction. Nice to meet you, and it’s my pleasure to take the next four days courses with you guys. 

Hobby: Volleyball

Although it’s not the first time taking a course with foreigners, I still remember the emotion that mingled with nervous and excited at that time. It still touches me now and actuates me to participate in this program. I consider it is a chance to practice English, and even make friends with someone who come from other State. Hence, after I caught on the news from Prof. Song, I decided to seize the opportunity to let me better. Hope us have fun in Changhua and take a course rich in educational and entertaining in the next four days.
