To create an immersive bilingual teaching environment, Zhonglun Junior High School actively applied for the National Education TFETP program, seeking external resources. The foreign teacher from the Philippines, Shane Marielle, was friendly and approachable, skillfully integrating information media into the courses, making the content engaging and accessible, which was well-loved by the students.
The main theme of this summer camp was "Amazing Race," encompassing three major themes: "Language Relay and Puzzle Solving," "Photo Scavenger Hunt," and "Patintero Game." The courses included team dynamics, campus exploration, and the traditional Filipino game "Patintero." Each activity was meticulously designed by foreign teacher Shane Marielle, with the support of the four alumnae, resulting in students fully engaging and finding the activities both exciting and fun.
The success of this bilingual mini summer camp greatly inspired the teaching team. In the future, Zhonglun Junior High School will continue to actively organize various camp activities and invite alumni to assist, strengthening the connection between the community and the school, showcasing the spirit of "Lun Family" and embodying the motto "We are Excel-Lun." This event not only enhanced students' English proficiency but also allowed them to learn in a joyful atmosphere, demonstrating their boundless potential and vitality.
