講師簡介： My background includes five months experience as a teacher at David’s English Center in Shilin District, and tutoring of friends in Taipei.  I have lived in Taipei for a total of five years, during seven different visits.  The first time was in 2001.  My main goal, for all these years, has been to support cultural exchange and mutual understanding across cultures.  Recently, I have been working on a research project to understand how people in Taipei express their views to each other, about their personal lives.  People say that my conversational Mandarin is very clear, and so beginning students can discuss with me in their language.  My background includes studies at Stanford and UCLA, and the project here is associated with Fulbright Taiwan.

Instructor:  Anthony Todd Estes (Anthony)

Course:  Conversational English

Dear Student:

I am a native speaker from the United States, who has lived in many parts of the US, including California, as well as Taiwan.  I am a patient teacher who has helped friends in Taiwan learn English for several years. 

My goal as a teacher is to create a relaxing and stimulating class environment, where students of all ages can experience English speaking as part of a fun cross-cultural exchange.  My wish is to enable every student to feel that he or she can speak English in class without ever being told “you did it wrong.”  I have personal interactions with each student, to give each person an opportunity to experience success in expressing themselves and making their ideas and interests known to others.  This is related to a whole attitude about teaching:  feeling confidence and enjoyment are basic parts of learning a language. 

In order to create a positive and fun atmosphere, we will talk about one good thing that happened to each one of us during the last week.  People often enjoy this, because it is an easy way to make each person feel involved; and creates a good mood for studying.  Class topics will include basic conversational topics, such as self-introductions and giving directions, and will later discuss interesting social topics such as how to talk about one’s feelings, media and music, negotiation, cultural and social issues, and protecting the environment.  Each topic will include vocabulary, idioms, and discussion questions, and some weeks also focus on grammar.  I am also willing to change topics if students want to include something else.  We will occasionally listen to, read, and/or sing English songs, when it is fits the topic.  We will, also, do some special experience activities, including learning how to meditate when we study words about popular spirituality.

The class is initially set at the Intermediate Level.  It will include a few advanced discussion topics, so that advanced students will also have some new challenges.  However, the level will be adjusted based on the students who participate.

My background includes five months experience as a teacher at David’s English Center in Shilin District, and tutoring of friends in Taipei.  I have lived in Taipei for a total of five years, during seven different visits.  The first time was in 2001.  My main goal, for all these years, has been to support cultural exchange and mutual understanding across cultures.  Recently, I have been working on a research project to understand how people in Taipei express their views to each other, about their personal lives.  People say that my conversational Mandarin is very clear, and so beginning students can discuss with me in their language.  My background includes studies at Stanford and UCLA, and the project here is associated with Fulbright Taiwan.   

The goal for this class is for every student to discover that speaking English can be a relaxing and creative activity.  By the end, I hope everyone will be well-prepared to use English in their workplace, or perhaps take a trip to North America, Australia, UK, or some other English-speaking country. 

Welcome to the class!
