2005-6 Yilan Fulbright teacher – Kathie’s Introduction

Brooklyn girl arrives in Taiwan – Starry eyed and stubborn

Oh I-lan!! What adventures await me! Suspense and suprises

Rain, rain, rain, (only on weekends) long abstract conversations, misguided ventures to men’s clubs, anyone remember the diaherrea song we learned in summer camp? Being chased by Taiwanese schoolgirls, starring in a science fiction movie, learning to be deaf and mute/ playing charades 24/7

2005-6 Yilan Fulbright teacher – Josh’s Introduction

Introduction to the Josh Overcast

This is Josh Overcast, Taiwan and elementary school English teaching neophyte. I’m looking forward to a fabulously entertaining 10 months of teaching 3rd graders, studying Chinese, riding a scooter, traveling about the Ilha de Formosa and, of course, composing weekly reflections. My hobbies and interests are various and sundry, but I don’t want to spoil the surprise by describing them now, so stay tuned for the next 40 weeks. My birthday is February 11, and I would like a pony.

Go, Justice Elementary!!

2005-6 Yilan Fulbright teacher – Sarah’s Introduction

Introduction – Sarah Via San Francisco!

Greetings Fulbright community!

Our troop of Taiwan Teachers have been on this humid island for 24 days now. The actual business of teaching English begins in just a few days. I am thrilled to meet my Local English Teacher and eager to encounter the many challenges ahead.

I look forward to documenting the noteworthy and mundane moments of the year ahead. Many best to all my future Fulbrighters and the hundreds of students that will be passing through our English classes!

Hi! I’m from New York City originally, but my family has been living in New Jersey for 18 years. I am a dual citizen of the U.S. and U.K. I graduated from Smith College in May 2005 with a B.A. in East Asian Studies, and I hope to attend medical school in the future. I am very excited to be teaching English in the Nan-ao elementary schools with Shirley this year!

北市小學生得精熟英語300字、81句

【記者楊昭瑾報導】臺北市教育局昨天局務會議通過「北市國民小學各年級英語學習能力指標」,九十四學年度正式實施。[@more@]

 臺北市教育局長吳清基表示,教育部僅將英語學習能力指標粗分成國中、國小,臺北市則將能力指標依國小一到六年級分別編列內容。另外,教育部要求國小須能說三百字,拼寫一百八十個字彙;臺北市教育局則要求國小畢業必須能說且能精熟拼寫三百字、生活用語及簡易句型八十一句,要求將比教育部高一點。
 吳清基說,新完成的「國小各年級英語學習能力指標」,加入字母拼讀與初階音標學習的內容,使「課程綱要」、「能力指標」、「學習評量」三者能更加緊密結合,提供教師作為教學、評量、課程設計、補救教學等依據。
 教育部規定,九十四學年度起,英語教學從現行小四開放到小三;北市英語師資比較充裕,早自九十一學年度起就從小一開始,全面實施英語教學。教育局國教科長施博惠說,公布國小一到六年級英語學習能力指標,可提供各校辦理學習評量時的命題依據。
