Tzu-Chun Lin, graduated from University of Taipei majoring in English Instruction. Tzu-Chun served as an FLTA at Georgia Southern University from 2019 to 2020.Tzu-Chun was deeply moved by Mr. Fulrbight’s vision of how the world should be,” A world with a little more knowledge, a little less conflict”. She believes that being an FLTA allows her to play an important role in realizing Mr. Fulbright’s vision.

She is a creative, efficient, and responsible person. She likes to travel all over the world and being able to speak English helps her to get to know more about the world. When meeting friends from overseas, she would introduce Taiwan to the world through various activities such as board games, simple DIY, and lectures. Being a part of this quickly changing world,Taiwan is also facing a big change nowadays. She believes that people who love Taiwan can make Taiwan better. Therefore, when she is back in Taiwan, she wants to share her experience of American Culture, and different styles of running a school.

這次從美國回來，要隔離14天，因為沒有可以獨立生活的套房以及家中有65以上的年長者，所以只能入住防疫旅館 

目前外國人是無法入境台灣的，除非工作的公司有成功幫你申請到簽證，並出示證明文件

Community service video “TZUTZU TALK SHOW”

Good evening. Today I would like to share a quote of Tuesdays with Morrie. "So many people walk around with a meaningless life they seem half-asleep, even when they are busy doing things they think important. This is because they are chasing the wrong things. The way you got meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you and devote yourself to creating something that gives your purposes and meaning.”

Do you get involved in your community? Have you ever done the community service before? Let’s check out how a new comer of Georgia Southern University found her way to get into Statesboro. Let’s check it out.

I engaged in my community in many ways such as culture activity, lecture and volunteer.

First of all, the first festival we did was "Confucius' Birthday" or "Teacher's Day".  In class, we gave a simple introduction of Confucius and his book "LUNYU" and then we did the activity called, "Ba zhihui mao". I attached many Confucius words on the ox's tail and students took turns to pull out one of them which symbolized you took some wisdom from Confucius. Off class, we served a hot tea to all the teachers who devoted themselves in Education.

Second, we had Chinese Conversation Hour once a week.  I taught them how to use simple Chinese to do self-introduction, make an order in restaurant, to say different jobs and positions. In addition, I seized the chance to introduce my country. I wrote a poem to show Taiwan in various aspect. Also, I combined Board game into my Chinese Teaching which make the class more fun and interesting meanwhile students can use sentences actively.

The World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages create a roadmap to guide learners to develop competence to communicate effectively and interact with cultural competence to participate in multilingual communities at home and around the world.

The World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages define the central role of world languages in the learning career of every student. The five goal areas of the Standards establish an inextricable link between communication and culture, which is applied in making connections and comparisons and in using this competence to be part of local and global communities.

The five “C” goal areas (Communication, Cultures, Connections, Comparisons, and Communities) stress the application of learning a language beyond the instructional setting. The goal is to prepare learners to apply the skills and understandings measured by the Standards, to bring a global competence to their future careers and experiences.

   USE OF AUTHENTIC TEXTS IN LANGUAGE LEARNING

  Interactive reading and listening comprehension tasks should be designed and carried out using authentic cultural texts of various kinds with appropriate scaffolding and follow-up tasks that promote interpretation. Authentic texts are defined as “written by members of a language and culture group for members of the same language and culture group” (Galloway, 1998, p. 133, as cited in Glisan). Scaffolding refers to the support provided for learners to promote acquisition of skills and concepts.  Follow-up tasks include activities that provide learners with the opportunity to apply or practice the new skill or concept.  

  Authentic materials provide real-life examples of language used in everyday situations. They can be used to add more interest for the learner. They can serve as a reminder to learners that there is an entire population who use the target language in their everyday lives. Authentic materials can provide information about the target culture and provide that culture’s perspective on an issue or event. The rich language found in authentic materials provides a source of input language learners need for acquisition.

  The interpretive mode is receptive communication and the learner must negotiate meaning with the document itself. Since the reader, viewer, or listener is using both content and context to interpret and comprehend what they are reading, viewing, or listening to, learners benefit from making meaning from  authentic cultural texts of various kinds with appropriate scaffolding and follow-up tasks that promote accurate interpretation.
