情態副詞

As much as I love my classes, I'm acutely  aware of how restricted my students and I

儘管我很愛我的班級，但我意識到當我想用英文與他們更進一步溝通時

feel in terms of communicating  on a deeper level

我們雙方都感覺到了某種程度上的限制

程度副詞

Sometimes, it's funny-- we speak really slowly  and use over-the top body

這通常很有趣，我們大多時候都慢慢說

並加上各種肢體語言來表達我們的想法

Teaching on Jinmen I've develop the enthusiasm of a game show host

在金門教學時，我變身為唱作俱佳的綜藝節目主持人

but other times our pantomimes seem more like an exercise in frustration

I once had a student stand over my desk trying to explain to me something

曾經有一個學生站在了我的辦公桌邊，試著向我解釋當天早上

upsetting that happened at her home that morning

a fact I later learned from her homeroom teacher

後來經過她導師的解釋，我才能瞭解事情的全貌

Of course, there's nothing I'd rather do than forge that kind of relationship

我可以和坐下來和學生面對面討論

the one where we could discuss their feelings or at least discuss topics

我們對事情的感受，而不是只是問問

than what time did you go to bed? but for reasons beyond our control,

這種沒有太多深度的話題。但回到現實世界，

this kind of verbal relationship is out of the question. that's why dance,

我能做的真的不多。這就是為什麼跳舞，

the universal language, has become such an meaningful part of my daily routine here.

這種國際語言，成為我日常生活中很重要的一部分

It's through dance that I feel I can finally collaborate with my students in a way

透過舞蹈，我覺得我終於可以和我的學生們一起完成一些有意義的挑戰

that's significant and challenging for both parties to the encounter.

組織一個快閃舞的想法於焉形成

we had this idea to organize a flashmob on Jinmen

對於金門這個小島來說，我們可以在短時間內吸引觀眾的眼光並引起興趣

We figured it would be fun to  introduce this phenomenon to our small

我們希望能帶起一個跳舞的風氣

we knew we could garner spectators and interest in a short amount of time.

並讓全金門的學生一起共同完成這個表演

We also wanted to do more than just teach a dance class, we wanted to create

我們到過不同的學校，也認識了很多新同學

with in which students all across the island could work together towards a final goal.

每個學生似乎都很喜歡快閃舞的舞步

It's been a pleasure traveling to the various schools,

Everyone seemed to enjoy the choreography element of the flashingmob,

當語言不一定能通時，舞蹈提供了一個自我表達的創意出口

but more than that- they were excited by the opportunity to take part in

something that reached beyond their campus walls.

當我是個學生的時候，我總是很享受戶外教學

Where language has failed us, dance has provided an outlet for creative

現在身為一個新手老師，我努力為學生創造一個同時用身體和頭腦

and has served as an instrument for building connections

無論是透過游泳、跳舞或是在島上的某個廣場上

As a student, I always enjoyed learning outside of the classroom.

Now, as a new teacher I strive to create a space for students to learn

在另一個異國文化環境中生活了五個月

我逐漸了解到適當的結合口說和肢體語言

whether through swimming, dance, or flash mobbin' the local square with students

所以在課堂上，我告訴我的學生

Having lived in a cross-cultural context for five months,

學英文是可以很有創意的，可以不只是強記單詞字彙

I continue to realize how healthy integration of verbal communication

我想，如果我們都可以在快樂的跳舞的同時學英文

and bodily cues is crucial for effective communication.

那麼我們不僅能激發新的溝通技巧

So in the classroom, I want to teach my kids that learning English can be more

並能看到互相不同的面貌，加深對彼此的認識

and that it can ultimately be a creative outlet. My thinking is that if we can have fun

and let it all out while moving within foreign

language, well not only ignite new communication skills,

but also meet each other in a new realm. At my school's anniversary celebration in

亞瑟，一個四年級末段班的小流氓

I was able to watch my students interact and move around outside

of class through traditional druming performances, contemporary dance and

也激發了我把更多音樂與運動的元素結合到我的英語教學

同樣地，我也透過參加在當地大學提供的有氧課程來練習我的中文

Arthur, a back-row hooligan in the fourth grade, wowed me with his expressive

並加強了我和我的夥伴教師之間的連結

to further incorporate music and movement into my teaching.

我希望透過這些教學，可以灌輸信心給讓我的學生們

Similarly, I've strengthened my relationship with my LET outside of school through

at the local university, where I pracice my Chinese and express myself to a

生活在異地加上語言隔閡，每天下課後

最輕鬆的選擇是回到舒適圈，待在只說英語的傅爾布萊特朋友身邊

I hope that these teaching methods instill confidence within the students to

communicate with whichever tools are most comfortable

用我有限的中文來跟在地人交流

and natural for them. While living in a foreign country

然而，這樣我就放棄了許多瞭解金門豐富文化資產

with an unfamiliar language, it would have been easy to come home after school each

也損失了認識金門朋友的可能性。我用來闖蕩金門的兩句話

and retreat my own Eglish-speaking bubble within the Fulbright community.

This would have required less effort and energy than racking my brain to use my

limited Chinese to communicate with locals.

But then I would have missed out on Jinmen's many cultural offerings as well as

因此我決定報名加入社區大學的課程

the friendly people call Jinmen HOME. I decided to involve myself in the

我選擇中國傳統舞蹈的主因之一

是在跳舞時，我並不需要瞭解老師說的每一句話

by registering for classes at the Community College. Since my go-to

舞蹈是一種世界共通語言，透過它我們可以傳達思想和情感

也因為和舞蹈班的同學有共同的興趣

"where's the bathroom?" and "I would like a bowl of beef noodle soup"

were little use in class, I was forced to improve my Chinese communication skills.

中國舞蹈更激發我對在地的文化的興趣

One reason that I joined a traditional Chinese dance class to participate

without needing to understand every word the teachers said.

和我的美國學生分享我在金門所學到的舞蹈

Dance is a universal language through which ideas and emotions can be expressed

I was able to develop relationships with some women in the clss

跟我在金門的學生分享美國文化一般

through our shared interest in expression through movement.

今年秋天，我換了所學校，開始在金湖國小工作

Chinese dance also motivated me to learn more about the local culture.

我和之前的學生們一起參與快閃

I look forward to sharing what I learned in this dance class with my future

just as I was able to share aspects of American culture through dance with my

In the fall, i switch schools and began working at Jihu Elementry.

Participating in the Jinmen and flashmob  has enabled me to continue a

我看見了一群滿臉興奮但困惑、睡眼惺忪的小臉

On weekends, I wake up early in the morning

to meet with my former students -whom, of their own accord,

有些學生覺得很興奮，有些則是有點猶豫、害羞

gather in the sixth grade classroom of the school campus to dance

但到了最後，整間教室的學生都動了起來，他們非常享受當下的舞蹈，玩得非常開心。

I remember walking into the classroom at Zhong Zheng elementary

我教的這種舞蹈是一種傳統的非洲舞蹈-Skelesu

of excited, sleepy, bewildered and intrigued sixth graders.

I performed the dance for them and some were immediately excited

In the end, the entire classroom was learning the dance and enjoying themselves.

來分享我奈及利亞祖先的文化遺產

The particular dance and i tought- the "skelewu"

is a Nigerian dance currently circulating in the African media

舞蹈是一種奇妙的媒介，因為它不需要文字就可發展成一個故事

Prior to coming here, I never would have imagined sharing my Nigerian American

透過這次經驗，我的學生不是只學到了
