Our spring semester started this Wednesday. Our semester goes from the beginning of March to the first week of July.
This semester I am teaching:
- Writing 4 (which is about the academic essay),
- Business English Conversation 2 and 4 (two different 3 hour courses),
- Public Speaking 2,
- Songs, Chants, & Rhymes for English Teaching, and
- Advanced English Conversation with American Movies.
That makes a total of 16 teaching hours. I then have a few office hours and other "at school" responsibilities. But all in all, I can't complain. I get paid to do what I love and it doesn't demand my every waking minute. :)
Below are some pictures of me and one of my classes taken last semester (when I was being observed by all the teachers in the department--in some pics you can see the other teachers in the back).

RE the "wei ya" :
ReplyDeleteHi,
I am sorry, I didn't know you that you left me a message.
Try ( http://bookofclaire.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_bookofclaire_archive.html ) for the month of March and then check out the archive for the earlier month.
My husband's family are from Taiwan, they immigrated to Canada when he was 1 years old. The last time we were in Taiwan was in April 04.
Talk to you soon.
2 Questions:
ReplyDelete1) Do all the classrooms at your school have LCD projectors?
2) Is that a Christmas tree in the corner of the room???
You look so professional! I'm so proud of your success and skills as a teacher (and jealous of your teaching not demanding every waking minute!).
@Claire: Thanks! I went and took a look and will visit again.
ReplyDelete@Mom: Actually . . . if you look closely, you'll see two LCD projectors in that room (one on the ceiling and one on a cart). All of our "Language Labs" and "Computer Labs" have LCD projectors mounted in the rooms. And there are 5 or 6 we can check out to set up in the other classrooms. I don't think I could teach without PowerPoint. (The only class I don't is my writing class.)
Oh and to answer your 2nd question . . . yes, that is a Christmas tree. It has sat in that room everyday for the last year and a half with only one or two decorations. Don't know why it is there. :)
