I think it would also be good to include some writing exercises to reflect on the purpose of their learning and making some meaningful connections.

I then practiced speaking through the outline a couple of times before recording. I chose to write only an outline because when delivered, it maintains a more natural tone. From…[Read more]

Students are not only to be trained in their fields for their future career, but also have a broad sense of knowledge and practice in various disciplines, which is the value of General Education. This in turn may build interesting connections to the…[Read more]

Highlighting effort, persistence, and resilience motivates students to keep trying when faced with challenges. The obstacles can be overcome through effort and perseverance.

  • Some strategies I have already used in my class: group activities, collaboration, pair work, peer review.
  • Although I greet my students at the beginning of most of my classes, I think it would be helpful to take more time to ask them how they’re doing and send more encouraging messages.

  • When I was in college, I felt like I belonged in the greater campus community when I had some friends, companions, and when I had some interest groups in which we may learn, practice and move forward together. I had this kind of feeling particularly when I was in a writing workshop in which we reviewed each other’s works and made comments.…
