Introduction
According to the Taoyuan City Bilingual program promoted by the Ministry of Education, with the purpose of improving the effectiveness of English teaching and implementation in elementary schools, Taoyuan Education Bureau has designated Yi-Xing Bilingual & Innovative School to be the head of the Bilingual Program this school year.
We currently allocate foreign teachers to four elementary schools including Yi-Xing, Happy, Qing-Pu, and NeiLi Elementary School. Our goal is to increase the interests of students learning English by strengthening the English teaching effectiveness and promoting English courses. In addition, the interaction between foreign and local teachers helps develop and polish each others’ English teaching skills.
Additionally, the coordinators from Teach Taiwan are a great help. The coordinators assist foreign teachers in finding living accommodations, applying for an ARC (ID card), and dealing with any issues encountered in Taiwan.
In the long run, we look forward to seeing the students in Taoyuan improve their skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing and be engaged with the world.
Why we recommend you choose this program
Taoyuan bilingual program has the best benefits compared to the other programs It is a leading program in its field and sets the future education trends in Taiwan. Moreover, there are at least three foreign teachers in every bilingual school so you will be able to acclimate quickly and not feel alone.
What's more
One of our foreign teachers had this to say about the program: “The bilingual initiative at Yi-Xing is one of the best I've seen and definitely the best I've ever worked in. They not only say they are bilingual but also back it up in the classroom and surrounding campus with English signage and staff that also speak English with the students daily. Within this program the foreign teachers have freedom over what we teach because language isn't always about grammar and phonics; it's also about experience and everyday life. This includes the use of technology in the classroom to keep learning fun and interactive. Here at Yi-Xing there is a cohesive environment that is targeted toward students' English language learning.”
