U.S. professor returns with 6 student teachers

Airey, who specializes in science education, did her team-teaching in the Tainan area and enjoyed her experience so much that she is coming back to Tainan for a month in January — bringing six of her college students who are teaching majors to team-teach English at Sheng-li Elementary School there.

“We will also be traveling around the island as much as possible while we are in Taiwan to see the sights,” Airey said in a recent e-mail, adding that she had a good experience in Tainan last year and wanted to share her experiences teaching here with her students.

“Last year, I was lucky enough to visit several night markets in the Tainan area to sample the delicious foods, and I was been invited to the homes of local friends and some students’ homes,” Airey said. “So I want to show my students what life is like in Taiwan, too.

aI am sure they will have a positive experience here. We plan to visit some local beaches along the Tainan coast, and visit several of the famous temples there, including the Confucius Temple. Of course, we’ll go to Alishan to see the sunrise, too.”

“Regarding my team-teaching experience in Taiwan last year, it was fantastic, and that is why I want to share Taiwan with some of my students,” Airey said. “The Taiwanese people were so kind to me, I really enjoyed teaching in Tainan. I just wish we had more time, but spring classes start at the end of January at our college in America, so we have to go back to the U.S. then.”
