  • High School Program Morrison Academy Taipei
    High School Program Morrison Academy Taipei PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Susanna Myburgh Morrison Christian Academy Taipei is grateful to announce that after 15 years of praying and searching, God has blessed us with a property that is big enough for us to begin to fulfill our dream of making the Taipei campus a K to 12th grade school. We are excited to announce the long-awaited addition of a 10th grade class at our current location in downtown Taipei for the 2016-2017 school year. We have fully prepared for this by hiring a highly qualified Chemistry teacher and an experienced humanities teacher. Although this 10th grade addition is new for Morrison Taipei, it is not new for Morrison Academy as a whole. With over 50 years of heritage, Morrison’s Taichung high school and boarding program have developed an exceptional reputation in Taiwan and around the world. This unwavering excellence is the cornerstone for which Morrison Taipei’s high school will be built upon. As part of one system, students at Morrison Taipei’s high school will have the joy of continuing their Morrison education at home in northern Taiwan while being able to enjoy access to the same academic rigor and programs at the Taichung and Kaohsiung campuses. I look forward to sharing the many successes your children will experience here as well as celebrating with you beyond their high school years as they become agents of change who will dynamically impact the world for Christ. Sincerely, ACADEMICS Morrison Academy Taipei’s caring educators and dynamic learning environment prepares students to be effective leaders, moral and ethical citizens, and life-long learners.

  • Ideologies of English Teaching and Learning in Taiwan
    IDEOLOGIES OF ENGLISH TEACHING AND LEARNING IN TAIWAN Submitted by JACKIE CHANG A thesis submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Linguistics The University of Sydney March, 2004 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to express my sincerest appreciation to the following people who have in a myriad of ways, helped to make my studies at the University of Sydney both successful and enjoyable. As well, they have made possible the completion of this thesis. Dr. Ingrid Piller, my academic supervisor, has patiently supported and constantly encouraged me through the completion of this thesis. Her unfailing support, insights, professional supervision and constant encouragement in helping all her students have earned my deepest respect, admiration, and appreciation. Without her, this thesis would not have been completed. Mr. Donald Goudie, an intellectual and a good friend, has kindly proof read my work. His comments on my writing style and his editing have been invaluable in my writing this thesis. His efforts were very helpful and are truly appreciated. Mr. Joe Green, my soul mate, was instrumental in getting me started on my Ph.D. program. His confidence in me and his constant support will never be forgotten. Above all, I must acknowledge the debt I owe to my parents, for their unflagging support. Without the love and support of my parents, the task of completing this thesis would have been overwhelming. My love and appreciation for them is beyond description. ii ABSTRACT This study is motivated by a critical need to engage in socio-linguistic analysis, within the field of English language teaching (ELT) and second language acquisition (SLA) in English-as-a-Foreign-Language (EFL) countries.

Introduction This handbook is aimed at helping IP students and parents to understand the college admission process. The process takes a lot of planning and decision making and this booklet will provide you with comprehensive information and road map to guide students through the college application. Rather than focusing only on the ranking, study abroad is like moving house or changing jobs, so please do not make any impulse decision. You should take consideration of multiple influence factors, such as the local economy, health care service, community safety, and learning environment, etc. The “top-ranked universities” may also not be the best choice because of the weather conditions or locations. This handbook is only a theory based on the application experiences of 1200 KC students who studied in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan from 2012 to 2020.
