Learning

There are some things which cannot be learned quickly, and time, which is all we have, must be paid heavily for their acquiring. They are the very simplest things and because it takes a man's life to know them the little new that each man gets from life is very costly and the only heritage he has to leave.

---Ernest Hemingway: Death in the Afternoon

English Learning Tips:

英文版
When Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara was practicing the profound Prajna Paramita, he illuminated the Five Skandhas and saw that they are all empty, and he crossed beyond all suffering and difficulty.

Shariputra, form does not differ from emptiness; emptiness does not differ from form. Form itself is emptiness; emptiness itself is form. So too are feeling, cognition, formation, and consciousness.

Direction

I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we

stand, as in what direction we are moving:To reach the port of

heaven, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes

against it---but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor.

Introduction

Being an English teacher, I do love my profession very much. I have learned what to teach and also how to get along with different kids. Before every class, I have to prepare some handouts for the instructions. I always search for websites or go to bookstores to find out new ideas and games. I try to make my classes interesting and varied. However, it is not easy to achieve all my expectations. What I hope to develop for my English classes is a series of innovative English teaching methods.

Consequently, I prepared some songs, instructional videos, some animated games and cartoons for students to appreciate and enjoy. I felt the class was different from the traditional English cram school when I played some songs or videos for class warm-up or wrap-up. It made me and my students feel relaxed and happy. After class, I would hear some students sing out aloud. That really made me satisfied and glad on my way home. Besides this, playing English instructional videos, such as the famous English teaching TV program in Taiwan , “Magic ABC,” also taught students different English contextual usage. The reasons that I wanted to use videos was that students not only learned from broad topics but also from lively and vivid studio films. These films made students keep watching quietly for about 30 minutes. Furthermore, when I taught my tutoring students, I showed them animated English cartoons from one Shanghai elementary school website. They couldn’t stop watching, and wanted to know what would happen next even when the dismissal time had passed. These interesting facts above are the main reasons that I chose “Multimedia English teaching” as the topic of my thesis. 

My name is Chao-Ching Chen from Taipei County. I was graduated from Aletheia University, majoring in foreign language and literature. After completing my bachelor degree, I went to America to pursue my master degree in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Language). I received this degree in May, 2008. I gained a lot of knowledge both in my field and in how to live and get along with different races. Therefore, I can employ what I have learned in my job.

As for my working experiences, I have learned a lot from my past working experiences such as waitress, secretary, foreign sales, and English teacher. My special areas of expertise are English and import and export trade. I have worked as an elementary and intermediate English teacher at Giraffe English Cram School in Taipei County from 1999-2001 and also gained the certificate of English teacher at Giraffe English Schools. After that, I taught English in three private cram schools. I garnered many teaching ideas by means of teaching different levels and ages of students. My teaching specialty is phonics and KK phonetic symbols. I also like to combine isolated skills into integrated instruction so that the four basic English skills become more integrated and complete.

As for the SPEAKING, I think I will choose N-norm as the one that when I analyze the textbook.
