教學,教學,總是從教育學生的過程裡面,自己所學更深、更廣、更有質感、更有內容。 In the linguistic world of Mandarin Chinese, to "teach" and "learn" go side by side: I find it to be so true that while I teach, I learn even more in any aspects possible.  Here are clips showing how junior high school students in Kenya have joined  an activity linking with the bank there. 此上下兩個影片為肯亞中學生們在銀行內的表演 當地銀行舉辦活動邀請學生們的參與 This video shows how pupils in an elementary school in Kenya interact  with their teacher.  本影片為肯亞小學生與其教師之互動 Videos here demonstrate how students in Indonesia express the food they like the most, led by their English Teacher.  此上下兩個影片呈現出印尼小學生們在他們的英語老師帶領之下, 描述自己所喜愛的食物 These clips reveal how elementary school students in Taiwan  have participated in sports games.  此上、下兩個影片呈現台灣之國小學生參與體育競賽之剪影 以下影像檔呈現台灣國小學生在英語教師帶領之下 表述所喜愛之食物的樣貌 Videos and images below demonstrate how elementary school students in Taiwan, guided by their English Teacher,  describe famous food in Taiwan. 內容由學生自編 Contents of ...

  A student of mine writes "The attitude I have used to learn English will determine the style of the person I will become, particularly after Teacher Hope has shown me the Great Mountains..." ******認識的藝術大師,已年過八十,仍在公益路上行走,於社區作畫、甚至有弟子跟班,讓人敬佩不已。 An artist I've known is still making pictures for the public. Her kindness and deeds guide her to paint in her community, with her follower going with her. This would be something I truly admire.  擁有一顆良善的心地,則世間無事可比之於其更甚…… When a person owns a kind heart, nothing in the world can be compatible...     ******雖然不是很想說明,但是自己從事的職業是教學,甚至喜歡在世界各地教學,所以,每每遇到新的學生,全部的經歷就或許必須再提一次的時候,但覺那些和自己沒有什麼關係,像是: Regardless of my tendency to stay low-key, as I am int he field of education, and as I teach everywhere, whenever there are new students arriving into my life as one of their current destinations, I may need to re-explain my experiences all over again, from time to time. When I do so, it seems I am talking about someone else's stories when I ...

"Hope! We went to the place, the three of us, and we spent an evening leisurely at a quiet, comfortable accommodation. Then, we went to him... The whole family is happy..."

Now, they have done this for me.  Many, many times in my life, I need to do something like this, as during my journey of serving the needed, I cannot be around all the time; therefore, some people need to act on my behalf: the amazing part is I am always able to find people who can act on my behalf. How fortunate I am! 遠方的朋友與我連絡上,電話那一頭對方非常興奮提到: 「我們把妳的信帶到了! 那一家人都非常感動! 我們一行人前一天就出發,住在當地溫馨的住處,第二天才到這戶人家造訪。他們非常非常高興妳對他們的關懷之意……」在我們的談話過...

PRELUDE 前言 在教學的場域當中,永遠像在世界的行腳一般,有無限的學習可能~~~ In the field of education, similar to that of going to different places in the world, there are always many chances to learn and understand new things.  統整以下這些資料需要大量時間,就像學生在書寫他們的心得時會產出的良質反饋般,如此珍貴。 To compile all the following materials takes a lot of time; it is identical to the fine quality feedback students can produce, equally precious. 但願這世上所有的人、事、物,都因為我們的不斷用心觀察與分享,而更加美好。 It is my humble wish that all the living beings and things in the world can be more and more purified and beautiful due to our constant hardwork, dedication, and persistence to make the world a better place. 也祈願每個敏銳而易感的心靈,都能夠感受到生命向陽力量的可貴,而奮發向上。 Furthermore, I pray that in each and every sensitive soul, there lies the treasure trigger our tendency to think and strive forward positively.  An Invitation to Our Invaluable Friends Overseas  恭請他方友人的參與 This video is with voices of my current Grade 5 students.  The video is sent to students and faculty members...
