Teaching English in Taiwan


This is a recent news video on a 'top' English teacher in Taiwan. Parents pay almost NT$2 million (US$69,000) a year for their children to study with her. Yet for all her pomp and pagentry, take a look at what she's written on the board at 0:58. I counted at least four errors.


台灣英文教學的現況
重點在要看起來很有特色吸引學生的注意力, 內容卻不重要
看看58秒的地方
白板上有四個錯誤,你找得到嗎?

The Lost Taiwan Blogs

Just a quick note: LWB, TI's sister blog, originally was a more personal account of my arrival in Taiwan.  Since the work was never finished, I have moved it here for your viewing displeasure. At present the work is in the sixth chapter.

 Please click <<CLICK HERE>> to read the entries in order.

Enjoy!
