教師簡介
Peggie Scott:來自於美國洛杉磯,藝術與視覺設計學士。1986年畢業於全球排名第二、亦是高科技和高等研究的先驅領導大學--麻省理工學院,也於世界知名的媒體實驗室(Media Lab)擔任助教。
大學期間,Peggie鑽研於與工程學相關的研究計畫。為了將工程學艱澀的概念用簡單的方式說明給大眾媒體及學校的參訪團體瞭解,開始有了「練習教學」的機會,對於教學方法以及學習方式很感興趣。畢業後,Peggie從事於科學教育,但是學生們的學習不再只是聽老師講課,而是從實驗中學科學,因此這種「從做中學」的教學態度,成了Peggie日後英語授課的哲學理念 ,她的英語課程轉而活潑且生活化。來到台灣前,曾經參加NPO/NGO組織輔導學生進行科學實驗,也在中國大陸有兩年大專程度的英語教學經驗。來到台灣後,Peggie希望能夠瞭解更多中國的文化以及歷史。
從青草湖社區大學擔任教師一職中,她找到了另一種教書與學習的樂趣。尤其在社大夥伴耐心的協助以及陌生人友善的關懷下,Peggie聽到了好多不同的故事。很多學生甚至成了她的老師和朋友,彼此分享、一起成長,她好喜歡這個充滿活力的台灣、充滿熱情的社區。未來,在教導大家英語的同時,她也希望夠更深入瞭解每一個學員,繼續從每個班級中學習。
Peggie的幽默總是帶給大家歡笑,讓原本生硬的英語課程變得活潑有趣;而Peggie的耐心讓害怕開口說英語的台灣人在沒有壓力的學習下,一點一滴累積英語的口說能力 ;Peggie的親和力,更創造出另一種英語的學習環境:利用簡單的語句分享彼此生活中的經驗。因此除了老師與學生的角色外,更多了一份朋友的關心。
I graduated from MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) in 1986 with a BS in Art and Visual Design. While in college I became interested in teaching methods and learning styles. Working with a research project gave me the opportunity to "practice teach" when it became my responsibility to translate engineering concepts into layman's terms for the media and visiting school groups. After graduation I went into the field of alternative science education where students learn science by doing. Rather than being just a passive listener they perform the experiments themselves. This is the philosophy I bring to the study of English.
I taught college level English for two years in Mainland China before coming to Taiwan. And now it is my very good fortune to be a teacher here at the Bamboo Community University.
I came to Taiwan hoping to learn more about the Chinese culture and history. And I have found that, at the CU, many of the students have become my teachers and my friends. Now, with the help, patience, and stories from my CU friends and from the kindness of strangers, Taiwan is coming alive for me. I hope to continue learning in every class I'm privileged to teach.
