 During my childhood, my parents had to work really hard to give us shelter and education. My parents were always working and could not stay at home and spend time with us. Due to this situation, I became more independent and developed a closer relationship with my siblings. After graduating from high school, I moved back to Taiwan. In Taiwan, I worked closely with children of diverse age groups. I taught them Spanish as a second language. During that experience, I learned a lot about teaching and started developing knowledge and skills. After four years of learning and training with professional teachers in the United States of America, education has become an integral part of my life. I have taught elementary children and high school students Spanish, ESL (English as a Second Language) as well as Mandarin Chinese. I earned my graduate degree at an American university (SCSU). When I was a graduate student, I had job opportunities to teach ESL as well as Spanish, not only at the college level but also at high school and elementary school level in MN, USA. Each of these experiences has been an important part of my life because they have allowed me to touch people's lives. I want to teach so I can continue helping people. As a ESL and Spanish teacher, I look forward to help my students grow and develop, not just in their language skills but also as individual who will be able to male good decisions and productive workers in the future. |

Referendum Voting
Sk S1 English Class called, "Embrace the World from Local to Global" did a "Referendum" lesson. Today, it is our voting day! The referendum lesson is about current issues in South American countries. The main goal of referendum lesson is to educate students about elections, from gaining an appreciation of the power of voting at the same time, knowing issues in different Latin American countries. More than that, students will understand what is involved in the registration and voting process and they will learn how to deliver campaign speech and how the speech can actually convince people to vote. Thank you SK library for helping us to settle for our referendum lesson.

2020 S1 Referendum
Now you need to imagine that you are working in a professional campaign. Your most recent case to win an election for your group. You can make props for your campaign. Remember people might be hearing and see what you are doing. If you are making a poster, make sure the text is legible for readers to see. Use a few pictures to convey the message of your referendum. You could use a different color for text design. Your ad should focus on only one part of the issue and – most importantly – it should be convincing. After people read your poster, they should want to vote for you. Here are ballot papers from S1 classes       Photos of Referendum Lesson
