Too idealistic, and yet, NOWHERE, N-E-A-R, real here, on the lacking in foreign English instructors in the distant-region schools, off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
The country’s dual-language education policies had been implemented, there’s a desperate need for foreign-born instructor, but due to the outbreaks, it’s hard to get them, especially, in the distant region schools, too “far off the grid”. For this, the Department of Education set forth the “Fulbright Exchange Scholarship” program from the Exchange Technique Foundation, and introduced more than seventy foreign born instructors this year, there was a school in Penghu that’s not found a foreign instructor for two whole years, and finally, there’s an English teaching assistant stationed there.
The professor of Children’s English Education Department of the will Education University in Taipei, Chen told, that the outbreaks caused the foreign born instructors to lose mobility, a lot of schools couldn’t get the foreign-born instructors stationed this semester. And most of the foreign instructors all wanted teach in the cities, second, the territories away from this island, with multiple spare time activities available to them, the regions of “not mountainous, not city” is the hardest to get these foreign-born instructors.
Chen reminded, that our relying solely on the foreign-born instructors for English education will cause the levels of skills to be too separated from the cities and the distant-regions, that the Department of Education needed to hasten up, to train the country’s own English instructors, to teach the English courses, otherwise, the country won’t ever get onboard of its ideals of becoming a dual-language country.
in a distant-region school, where a foreign instructor is stationed to teach…
The principal of the Longmen Elementary School in Penghu, Cheng told, that due to the outbreaks, the school couldn’t get the foreign-born instructors for two whole years now, and thankfully for the “Fulbright Exchange Scholarship program” this year, an English teaching assistant was finally found, and working with the local instructors to teach the classes. The Hsinchu County Education Department’s director, Yang told, that there’s not much flow of the foreign instructors in Hsinchu, and due to the outbreaks, the foreign born teachers continued staying in Taiwan mostly, and they’re willing to continue their contract for hire too.
And, this gap in language abilities is still due to the locations of the schools, I mean, who wants to teach at a far, far away, off the mainland school, where nothing IS convenience to you? Nobody, that’s why there’s this problem of not having enough qualified foreign instructors in these regions here, which will cause the gap of learning to grow wider, because children from these distant and faraway regions won’t get enough “outside stimulations”.
