From this course, I've learned a great deal of teaching skills and refreshed my memory of the learned grammar. I especially find the lesson plan the most helpful. It puts me in situation where I need to
apply what I learn to design a suitable lesson for my students.
I believe I can
apply these skills not only in
english teaching but to other areas of expertise in the future.
Nothing intrigues me more than the diverse cultures this planet
offers. I've lived in many different cities during the last ten years and I've obtained a lot of knowledge where one cannot learn from reading a book alone. I feel the lifelong learning experience has become an important part of my life and I'd love to continue to enrich my cultural experience. I hope this course opens the gateways to
english teaching in different countries where I can teach and learn from the local people (or students) at the same time for I believe I need to stay at a place long enough to truly absorb the language and culture its people
offer.
Moving to
canada at a young age makes me understand the importance of using a language other than my native language to communicate. I soon grew strong interest in languages and its background. The desire of being a linguist brought me to the
french speaking province of
canada to learn a new language and became fluent of it. Although not a native
english speaker, I'm very confident I can use the experience I had in learning
english and what I learned from this course to benefit my students in the future. My next goal is to master the Mandarin language and I wish to submerge myself in a Mandarin speaking environment for a couple of years. Ever since my first visit to Taiwan three years ago, I've decided it is the place where I want to study the language and I'd like to
apply my knowledge and skills I obtain from this course to teach
english in Taiwan. This way, I can share my
english learning experience with students, at the same time, it allows me to stay in one place long enough to learn from the culture and the language.
