Thursday 9 September 2021

No class on September 21, 2021 (Mid Autumn festival) and September 28, 2021

We'll make up for them by adding two classes at the end of the term on November 30 and December 7, 2021. 

For September 14, 2021

A warm welcome to the new members of our class Megan, Amy Chang, Ivy, and Wilson!

On September 7, 2021, members of the class discussed, voted, and decided to have our class in the school throughout this term. 

Could Jason and Jo please let me know if you're OK with this? If you are, I will tell the school as the school needs all members of the class to be aware of what the class decides and feel OK about it before reporting to the Education Bureau.

If you would like to participate online while the class is held in the school, please let me know as well, so that I will get online and wait for you to join in like I did on September 7. I will also need to let the school know we're running the class in the school and online simultaneously.

Please call up a member of the class to prompt me you are waiting to come in if I'm not responding to let you join the Google Meet meeting (class) because I may be helping other members of the class and not looking at my cell phone screen at the moment. 

If you plan to participate in the second class online, please let me know by this Sunday, September 12.  I'd like to know a couple of days ahead to prepare.

For September 14, 2021:

1. "Intellectual Curiosity"  (p.14~16 of Studio Classroom magazine).

2. "Intonation". Please bring the handout. Thanks so much Grace for being willing to teach it again and for the wonderful handout!

3. Survival English unit 45, Culture File 45 (p.95).

4. "Defeating Depression" (handout given on September 7.)

5. Submit your English learning goals for this term. PleaseI'mí specify what, how, when, how often, and for how long each time. We will review them halfway through the term and at the end of the term.

6. Tips for Learning English.

7. Free talk topic(s): Hobbies and Interests; Travel.

8. Pronunciation.

9. Practice using Google Meet for online lessons (for those who are not familiar with it).

Friday 3 September 2021

Fall term of 2021 will begin on September 7, 2021

We will have the first class in the school on September 7, 2021. 

As some prefer in-person class while others prefer online, we may have a combination of in-person and online lessons this term, and will discuss together on September 7 to determine which dates to have class in the school and which dates online.

We will use the same Google Meet link that we used for the two make-up online lessons in July for September 7 if you wish to participate in the first class online. Please let me know by September 5 if you plan to participate online for the first class.

The school gives students the option to participate in the class online if the class is held in the school, throughout the term.

Please bring The following on September 7:

1. Your schedule

2. The Aug issue of Studio Classroom magazine, "Beach Cleanup" (p.12 and 13).

3. NT$200 for class fund (for photocopies, magazine order for next term, etc.) 

4. Survival English unit 44, Culture File 44 (p.94 ), for those who wish to practice it.

5. Your student ID.

Looking forward to seeing everyone on September 7!
