Dear friends,
You may think that my time in Kaohsiung is over, but no!  The mayor of Kaohsiung had lunch with all of us Fulbrighters. She said a few remarks and then handed us all our certificates for co-teaching in Kaohsiung. Below is a picture of all of us with the new director of the Foundation for Scholarly Exchange (FSE, or the Fulbright headquarters in Taiwan).

Dear friends,
As you may know, the annual Dragon Boat Race is upon us in a couple of weeks. The competition is divided up into "Locals" and "Foreigners." In the foreigner teams, you must have at least 10 foreigners rowing; the rest can be Taiwanese. The grand prize is a golden dragon worth NT$60,000, or US$1,764.

Here we are with twelve people in our boat practicing. Notice the gaping hole in the middle =D

Goggles and a face mask! (Thank you Dani & Billy for demonstrating above)

Dear friends,
Every week, I try a Taiwanese eatery with one of my student's mother. She has this great book that lists all of these famous eateries in Kaohsiung. We've tried many great dishes ranging from spare rib noodle soup, to Ai-yu Jelly dessert, to Mango/Strawberry/Banana Shaved Ice.

Here are some pictures of the eateries we've been to and the food we've tried.

I also really like this place:

Be sure to check out more pictures of the food I've tasted in Taiwan in this album.

Dear friends,
On Sunday, I went to Xiziwan with a friend and we went to Wan Shou Shan, which is near Cai Shan. We originally planned to go hiking up monkey mountain, but I was not wearing the appropriate shoes so we ended up going to Wan Shou Shan.

We stopped by a coffee shop on the way to Wan Shou Shan. The entire shop was nestled in the forest; you can see a picture of it to the left.

There were many scenic spots along the road going to Wan Shou Shan. For example, the picture to the right is a view from a road side stop.

Once we reached Wan Shou Shan, there was a great spot where I could take a picture overlooking all of Kaohsiung.

It was a great trip and we hope to go hiking up monkey mountain before I leave Taiwan in July.

Dear friends,
Hua Shan's basketball team just recently competed in a citywide tournament. The girl's and boy's team each took first place respectively. CONGRATULATIONS!!! They are number one in all of Kaohsiung City. Next competition is in Taipei for the national championship.

Dear friends,
I went with my host family biking all around Kaohsiung today. They just bought new collapsible bikes. We rode them from Love River to Dream Mall to Qijing island. To get to Qijing island, we rode the ferry with our bikes. At Qijing, we ate squid on a stick and basked under the warmth of the sun. It was very cool weather to ride bikes today, the weather was probably around the mid 70s.

You can find more pictures from today in this album: Taiwan Photo Set 30.

Dear friends,
Billy, a fellow Fulbrighter, and I were featured in a newsletter called the Maritime Capital that is printed in both English and Chinese. See this link: http://mag.udn.com/mag/newsstand/storypage.jsp?f_ART_ID=161849

Experience a “Fresh” Kaohsiung Meet William and Shiela／高雄鮮體驗 認識William 和Shiela

【Text／Hsin-yi Peng；Photo Courtesy／William and Shiela】
The "International Village English World" is Kaohsiung City's English education project in 12 elementary schools for 5th and 6th graders. On the eve of Halloween, the students had a chance to experience the fun of Halloween with the help of their Taiwanese and foreign teachers, making Halloween masks, wrapping mummies, and hanging doughnuts on a rope for a game. Through diverse curriculum and everyday scenarios, Kaohsiung City Government hopes to inspire students to become interested in learning English.

The Education Bureau, in cooperation with the Fulbright Foundation for Scholarly Exchange, recruits Fulbright Fellows as co-teachers to teach English in the 12 elementary schools that are part of the "International Village English World". In the International Village, there are simulation hotels, restaurants, and an airport for the children to practice, so that they will no longer be afraid to speak English. For the schools that are not part of the "International Village", the Education Bureau has scheduled "International Village study Tour camp", which will Allow an additional 17,000 students to come to the International Village this year to interact with the American teachers and gain more language skills.

The foreign teachers arrived in Taiwan at the end of August and their co-workers are very impressed with their enthusiasm for teaching. William and Shiela are two members of the current team and they are here to share with us their experience in Kaohsiung.

William Billy Fong just graduated from the Colby College. He said he was thrilled to have the opportunity to come to Taiwan and teach, as well as learn about the education system in Taiwan as he gains more experience in teaching. William was assigned to Zuo-ying Elementary School to team with Ms. Chun-yao Fang as co-teachers. Together, they teach English to children between 3rd and 6th grades. William said that he used the website YouTube as a tool for the students to practice their listening comprehension and expressions. His hope is for the students to learn more about the respective cultures of Taiwan and the US, but most importantly, he wants the students to speak with self-assurance, to understand the purpose of learning English, and to increase their confidence in learning English.

The students who attended the "International Village study tour camp" actually practiced beforehand; William remembered one particular incident when he was role-playing as a cashier in the International Village supermarket. He was practicing the conversation with a student when the student unexpectedly took out a home-made coupon! William cracked up right then and there. He enjoyed seeing his student showing their efforts in learning, and that's where most of the fun of this teaching assignment comes from.

William is very impressed with the convenience of life brought by the Kaohsiung MRT. A native of New York, he loves to go shopping on the streets. He arrived in Kaohsiung in August, but already he shops like a native and says that he will "definitely not miss the anniversary sales"! He likes the beach and lighthouse of Cijin District and he strongly recommends the charcoal grilled calamari, a specialty delicacy of the area.

Another teacher here to share her experience is Shiela Lee. She started working in Hua-shan Elementary School only a few months ago, but already she is very close to the faculty and the students, who address her as "Teacher Shiela". Shiela said she is very grateful to the faculty and students of Hua-shan Elementary School. The teachers and students made the transition to Taiwan very easy because they were so welcoming. For that reason, Shiela considers Hua-shan Elementary School the most charming place in Kaohsiung, along with Love River and Cijin District.

Shiela remembered her astonishment when she saw the long lines of motorcycles on the road in Kaohsiung, which is a sight she could not even begin to imagine in her hometown in Colorado. She also shared the memory of her first time sitting as a passenger on a motorcycle, she was so nervous that she squeezed her rider with both arms at full strength. Such unique experiences have left deep impressions in her Taiwan experiences. Shiela likes the convenience of traveling in Kaohsiung City; she hopes to learn more about the customs and traditional holidays and festivals in Taiwan.

Shiela mentions that there are many students with different skill levels that come to the village. When Shiela sees students at English Village, she has to be creative to address the different skill levels. And, she wants to improve the confidence in her students' speaking ability. She likes to teach English through everyday life, such as making Halloween masks, and letting the students learn a different culture through games and experience the fun of learning.

高雄鮮體驗 認識William 和Shiela

高雄市12所設有「全球村英語世界」(International Village English World)國小5至6年級學生，在12位台灣籍和外籍教師搭配進行協同教學下，於萬聖節前夕，動手製作萬聖節面具、包裹木乃伊和串在繩上的甜甜圈等萬聖 節相關活動。高雄市政府教育局希望透過多元且生活化的英語情境教學引發學生們的英文學習興趣。

教育局透過與美國傅爾布萊特基金會合作，聘請傅爾布萊特青年得獎人進駐全市12所設有「全球村英語世界」的國小１年，擔任小學協同英語教師，在全球村裏模 擬旅館、餐廳、機場等各種情境，讓小朋友們不再害怕開口說英語。對於沒有設置全球村的學校，教育局則安排「英語村遊學體驗營」的方式，預計今年會有 17000學生到英語村與這群美籍教師實地互動、學習。

這群外籍老師於今年８月抵台，和他們一起合作的工作夥伴相當稱許這群充滿教學熱忱的老師們，團員中的William和Shiela與大家分享他們在高雄的感受。

剛從Colby College畢業的方家樂(William Billy Fong)表示他很高興能有這個機會到台灣教書，吸收教學經驗，同時了解台灣的教育系統。方家樂被分配到高雄市左營國小，與方瓊瑤老師搭配進行協同教學， 教導三到六年級的學生英語。方家樂說他會利用YouTube網站來訓練習學生們的聽力以及表達能力，他希望能讓學生對於台灣跟美國文化能有進一步的認識， 更重要的是鼓勵學生勇於發言，讓他們了解學英語目的，增加他們對於學習英文的信心。

前來英語村遊學體驗營的學生事先都經過充份的練習，方家樂談起有回他在全球村扮演超市收銀員的角色，與學生練習對話，學生們出奇不意的秀出一張自備的折價卷，讓他笑翻天，學生們的用心讓他覺得這份教學工作真的很有趣。

他相當稱讚高雄捷運帶來便利的生活，家住紐約的方家樂很喜歡逛街，儘管８月才到高雄，他已經逛到熟門熟路，還樂此不疲地說：「一定不會錯過週年慶的！」除此，旗津的烤小卷是他強力推薦的美食，他也很喜歡到旗津海灘和燈塔遊玩。」

另一位在華山國小服務的李詩媚( Shiela Lee)，她到華山國小才幾個月，卻已經跟華山的全體員工和學生打成一片，學生們都叫她Teacher Shiela，李詩媚說她非常感謝華山國小全體師生的協助，讓她很順利地適應初到台灣的轉折期，也因此，李詩媚說對她而言，龍華國小跟愛河、旗津一樣，都 是她心中高雄最迷人的地方。

談起她第一次到高雄看到長龍般的機車，壯觀的機車場景讓她驚訝不已，因為在她的故鄉科羅拉多看不到這樣的場景，她還提起第一次被載在摩托車上，她緊張地緊 緊箍住載她的人，這樣特別的經驗深深烙印在她的台灣經驗裏。她覺得高雄市到哪都很方便，她希望利用這一年可以多了解台灣的風土人情和傳統節慶。

李詩媚表示，前來全球村體驗的學生每個人的英文程度都不一樣，因此，李詩媚說面對學生時她必須更有創意地調整教學內容，以達到因材施教的目地。除此，李詩 媚也希望能提升學生「說」英文的自信。李詩媚希望藉由生活化英文學習機會，比如製作萬聖節的面具，讓學生從遊戲中認識不同的文化，體會到學習的樂趣。

Dear friends,
Last night I went with my school's basketball coach and some Fulbright English Teaching Assistants (ETAs) to watch a baseball game. It was so much fun! This was probably the first time I actually payed attention to a baseball game for the entire nine innings. Back in the States, I usually get bored after the fifth inning and want to leave because the game is taking so long. But this time was much more exciting. I think it was more exciting because at the baseball game, the fans had organized cheers. The teams that played against each other were the Taipei Elephant Brothers (yes, that's their full name) and the Kaohsiung La New Bears. Taipei's colors are yellow and black and Kaohsiung's colors are teal and white. We initially thought we were going to cheer for La New Bears because it was Kaohsiung's home team, but apparently Taipei has a larger fan base.

The crowds had organized cheers and would wave their little yellow horns/sticks that make noise. Taiwanese baseball games are pretty noisy, but I think that's a good thing because then people like me don't fall asleep! I enjoyed the cheers very much. There were a lot of cheers that involved saying "Chuan Lei Da!" for "Home Run!" In the end, the Elephant Brothers (Taipei Team) won by one point.

A popular player on the Elephant Brothers team, #23, scored three home runs at the game prior to the one we watched. #23's nickname is Cha-Cha. At last night's game, we saw one home run made by #52 whose nickname is Electric Fireball. It was pretty sweet.

Dear friends,

Since coming to Kaohsiung, I have been very impressed with the MRT system. Just a note--the Taiwanese do not say "metro," they say "MRT." If you say "metro," they'll look at you funny =D. In America, we either say "metro" (like in Washington, D.C.) or the "subway" (like in New York City).

The red line on the MRT system (running north and south) opened last year and the orange line (running east and west) just opened last Sunday. The MRT is so clean and there's really cute music that plays whenever the train arrives. There's also television sets in mostof the waiting areas for the red line trains.

There's one station, Formosa Boulevard MRT Station, that is the transfer station from the orange line to the red line. It is absolutely gorgeous because there is a "Dome of Light." That's what they call it. It's literally a huge structure that has glass art all across the top. It's supposedly the largest glass art structure in the world! Check it out.

Also, the announcements on the MRT are in Taiwanese, Mandarin, Hakka, and English. Quite impressive.

Dear friends,
My first week at school (last week) was so incredibly fun, exciting, busy, and full of adventures that it's hard to distill just a few of those memorable moments down into a blog entry. But, here we go!

On Monday (Sept. 8, 2008)
In the morning, I went to English Village at Ling Zhou Elementary School (not the elementary school I teach at) to finish up last minute activities for English Village. As you may recall, English Village is a program that was launched by the Kaohsiung Bureau of Education to create simulated environments (e.g. hotel, airport, supermarket) where students can practice their English with foreigners.

For example, a post office where students can play with the environment and speak.

The Fulbright English Teaching Assistants created station games in addition to a dialog station at English Village to help the students practice more English. English Villages, or simulated environments, were built in many Kaohsiung Elementary Schools. However, we are only running three English Villages this semester. Fifth graders from all over Kaohsiung go to one English Village once a year. We prepared for English Village on Monday, but it does not officially start until Tuesday (Sept. 9). On Monday, I just finished up last minute touch-ups to the station games to get ready for Tuesday's opening ceremony and full run through of English Village. Though, every Monday I will spend the morning at Ling Zhou English Village. In the afternoon, I go to my school, Hua Shan Elementary School by walking from Ling Zhou Elementary school to the MRT, take the MRT to the last station on the red line (Xiao Gang), and then bike to my school for about 15 minutes, depending on traffic.

When I got to my school on Monday afternoon, I  brought Moon Cake for all the staff and faculty for the Mid-Autumn moon Festival. I was already introduced to the staff last Tuesday, but I introduced myself to my classes and began teaching today.

Teaching was so wonderful. The kids are so cute and they love to play games! They can pronounce my name pretty well because it sounds like the Chinese word for "Greece"---Xi La. Ashley & Jia-Ling are very good teachers and I've already learned a lot about how to plan for classes and what to go over first in class.

For my introduction for the rest of the week, I used pictures to show my students where I am from in the United States and I made a name card for myself. All the students "oohed" and "ahhed" when they saw the beautiful mountain pictures of Colorado! When I taught this week, I also made a poster of "American Culture" vs. "Chinese Culture" to help my students understand some differences. The examples I went over this week were:
American Culture: Calendar starts on Sunday & American students do not take naps during the day at school
Chinese culture: Calendar starts on Monday & Chinese students take naps during the day at school

It was so cute because when I told the students that American students don't take naps during the day, they were so surprised and thought that the American students must fall asleep in class! They were all very intrigued by the differences.

I later went home by bike, MRT, and bus (I call that my "triathalon commute back home"). Travel to and from my school takes about an hour. I absolutely love my school, though, so the commute is worth it.


On Tuesday (Sept. 9, 2008)
English Village started on Tuesday morning at Ling Zhou Elementary School and it was rather difficult because some of the logistics were not planned out. The kids had a lot of fun, though. It was good that we had this run through because we figured out some of the problems with the games and the rotation to different stations at English Village. I was exhausted after that two hour English Village session at Ling Zhou. Then, I commuted to my school, Hua Shan Elementary School, in the afternoon.

At Hua Shan, I met the principal, the staff, and the faculty. They are all very friendly and fun. They kept on teasing each other about how shy they were to talk to me, a foreigner. However, when Friday came along, I noticed that if I spoke Chinese, my teachers were very talkative! I told them that my Chinese is like their English, "still learning." So, I told them to don't be afraid to talk to me, because as long as they speak slowly, I will understand, and I will do the same.

Hua Shan Elementary School has been so welcoming. They've already given me a bike, moon cake, "Beauty" tea, a temporary helmet (because my permanent helmet is being decorated by my classes as a gift), free lunch, lunch bowls and chopsticks, and more mooncake. They are even going to make a display case for me at the school to show all the students and parents. I already designed it so when it's up at school, I'll take a picture to show you. They're calling my display case, "Shiela's Column". It sounds like a "column" from a newspaper, but it's actually my display case  =D. After I taught three classes on Tuesday, I played basketball with the basketball team after school.

Basketball with the Hua Shan co-ed basketball team was SO MUCH FUN! The kids are quite good and the coach told me they were number one in Kaohsiung a few years ago and took fifth place in all of Taiwan Elementary School Basketball 5 years ago! While I was not that good, the kids cheered me every single time I got a basket. At the end of practice, the girls did their team cheer and the boys did their team cheer. Their cheers were so cool! The girls's cheer goes like this: "Hua Shan--clap, clap--Hua Shan,--clap, clap--Hua--Shan--Guo--Xiao--clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap... (repeat)" The clapping is rather difficult, but it sounds really cool. The boys cheer is different and I don't remember it. When I asked my "sports class" (yes, I have a sports class...) what the boys cheer was, none of them wanted to tell me because they were too shy. The reason they were shy was because the boy's cheer is like a war cry. They say "Hexia!" and then say something else while contorting their faces into an intense competitive look.  It's very cool.

While I enjoyed the girl's and boy's basketball practice, I do not think I can go every Tuesday afternoon because I am so tired after going. I love practicing with the kids, though. I'll try to go at least once every month. It's hard because on Monday and Wednesday, I have Chinese class in the evening and Tuesday is the only day I get off to study Chinese. Plus, it's the only time I can lesson plan for my meetings on Wednesday morning with Ashley and Jia-Ling. I will have to time manage if I want to go to basketball practice.

On Wednesday (Sept. 10, 2008)
On Wednesday morning, I was introduced to all the students at their flag raising ceremony. It was so hot on Wednesday and the kids had to sit outside. I gave a little speech and said hello to everyone.

After the flag ceremony, I taught my three classes for the day. Just to give you a snapshot of the classes I co-teach, let me tell you which grades I co-teach and on what days. On Mondays, I co-teach one fifth grade class and two fourth grade classes. On Tuesdays, I co-teach two fifth grade classes and one sixth grade class. On Wednesday, I co-teach first graders, a sixth grade class, and a fifth grade class. On Thursday, I co-teach two fourth grade classes, a third grade class, and a sixth grade class. Finally, on Friday, I co-teach English Club with Ashley and co-teach second graders, and two sixth grade classes. It's a very busy week. But, if you think this is busy, just wait 'till next week when I add my Chinese classes on Monday and Wednesday evenings from 6:30pm to 8:30pm. My schedule will be booked with Monday being the busiest where I travel to three different locations (Ling Zhou in the morning, Hua Shan in the afternoon, and San Min Elementary School in the evening for Chinese classes).

On Thursday (Sept. 11, 2008) & On Friday (Sept. 12, 2008)
These were my most relaxing days. I lesson planned, taught my classes, and chatted with fellow teachers. Walking down the halls, students would say, "Hello Shiela Lao Shi" (Chinese for "Hello Teacher Shiela"). I kind of felt like a celebrity because I kept on waving my hand, smiling, and saying "Hello" back. My students are so excited that it makes me so excited and happy to be at my school. I really love my school. Also, check out the very nice welcome letter the principal wrote about me at the end of this blog.

Later Friday evening, I met my host family. It turns out that they live near Hua Shan Elementary school where I teach! Isn't that amazing?! My host mom Tai-Shia, my host dad Chung-Shih, and my cute little host sister Scarlet (9 yrs.) are so funny, curious, and talkative--just like me! You can check out photos here. When they announced the host family and Fulbright ETA (English Teaching Assistant) pairing, my host family and I couldn't stop talking to each other because we had so much to say; we were so excited. Well, we immediately made plans for the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival weekend. Mid-Autumn Moon Festival falls on Sunday, but we spent the whole weekend together.

On Saturday
My host family took me to Pineapple Mountain, a little mountain near Chengqing Hu (Crystal Clear Lake). We hiked up the little mountain and saw the pineapple fields. Did you know pineapples grow in the ground? I didn't know that; I thought they grew on trees. Anyway, let me tell you, this hike was very windy. It was windy because a typhoon was coming! We went hiking in typhoon weather.

Look at how windy it was up on Pineapple Mountain!

Later that evening, we barbecued and ate lots of moon cakes. A fellow teacher at school told me that the reason why barbecuing now occurs in Taiwan is because a very popular television commercial showed people barbecuing with soy sauce and ever since then, people wanted to cook this special way on Mid-Autumn Moon Festival. I don't know if this is true, but it's very interesting. I only stayed for some of the barbecue because it was a fellow English Teaching Assistant (ETA) and Local English Teacher (LET)'s birthday so I went to celebrate with them later that evening.

On Sunday
It rained a lot and the wind howled so loudly, some of my apartment mates could not sleep. Despite the rain, my host family picked me and two of my apartment mates up and drove us to Chung-Shih (host dad's) grandparent's house for homemade hot pot! The dinner was so incredibly delicious! Check out the photos here.

I ate so much moon cake this week. The Bureau of Education also sent each of the 12 Fulbright English Teaching Assistants a huge box of moon cake, so I've been eating one a day...quite a lot! I could write more because I left a lot out, but I think this is enough for one post. Thanks for reading and stay tuned for my next update!

席拉！華山的四海一家~ Welcome Shiela to Huashan 作者 weitow | 10 九月, 2008 | read_nums (1)        海上生明月，天崖共此時！       

        一到中秋季節，月餅和月亮就自然成為我們生活與感受的焦點。今年的中秋前夕，很多華山人都有個共同的感受：沒想到，今年的第一口月餅，竟然是來自Shiela小姐－這位遠從美國來做客的朋友手中。

      Shiela小 姐－華山的外籍英語客座教師，經意願選填而到本校，擔任為期一年的學童英語課協同教師，是一位美麗大方又親切近人的好女孩。她是高雄市政府教育局，透過與 國際學術交流基金會的合作，由該機構引薦美國「傅爾．布萊特」獎學金得獎青年，而來台擔任學童英語協同教學的一位外籍教師。

      華山奉高市教育局之命，於去年設置英語村，以提供更有利於學童學習英語的教學環境，自開放教學以來，倍受師生歡迎與喜愛，使用率居高不下。但本校並不以此為滿足，總希望本校的學童英語教學能繼續有所突破。

       這學年度，Shiela小姐加入華山人行列，成為本校刺激學童提昇學習英語的第三劑強心針。

       第一劑強心針，來自於本校五年級的謝興泰小朋友。他在今（97）年暑假期間，報名參加英國劍橋英檢，通過第11及檢測，相當於國內英檢中的高級檢測，這項傲人的成就，讓他10歲通過這項檢測的事蹟，成為東亞第一人的新紀錄。

       第二劑強心針，來自於本校甫從英國修完教育哲學博士返校服務的王嘉陵老師。嘉陵師在考取公費出國留學之前，已獲得國內教育博士學位，秉於自我成長與進修的信念，考取公費留學而遠赴英國求學三年，其各項英語能力自不在話下，相對的，她的英語教學專業，更是本校特別倚重的。

       而Shiela小 姐，雖是額外且意外的成為本校英語教學的第三劑強心針，但令人敬佩的，是她並未絲毫的以過客心境而減低對華山的投入，很用心也很主動的融入這個大家庭。即 便她僅能說一些簡單的國語，且大部分表達都需要使用她自己的母語－英語，但熱情有增無減。不但很快的贏得全校同仁的認同，且非常受到學童的歡迎。

       Shiela小姐在9月2日向本校報到後，依合約規範休假，開學第二週起正式到本校任職。第一天的正式上班，她帶來一大盒甫出爐的月餅，宴請本校同仁。吃月餅不稀奇，唯有每年的第一口月餅才讓人驚艷，尤其是那份來自千里之外的外國友人的真情，不但讓人非常感動，而且有一份特別的感受。 

      一盒月餅讓彼此成為一家人，一份熱誠讓學習更提昇。

      這一年裡，因於本校英語教學三劑強心劑的投入，華山全體師生會擁有真實且難忘的四海一家（We are the world）新體驗。因此，華山人要張臂歡迎Shiela小姐來華山，也要奮力提昇全校師生的英語學習。
