Oxford, MS May 2021 Approved By ______________________________ Advisor: Dr. Cheng-Fu Chen ______________________________ Reader: Dr. Zhini Zeng ______________________________ Reader: Dr. Joshua Howard i © 2021 Kaitlin Ashleigh Rigby ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT This thesis takes a look at how English language policy (ELP) in Taiwan has changed over time and how it has affected the education system. This thesis also investigates the different attitudes directed toward ELP, some areas of concern, and problems that have occurred as a result of Taiwan’s approach toward ELP. Understanding why Taiwan supports the English language as much as it does while also considering its approach to implementing policy will provide insight on how Taiwan believes that the ELP is a necessary part of globalization. -

Sahithi's Speech
Acceptance Speech by Sahithi Vuppula (AIS-Kuwait) 2013 Stanley Haas/Luke Hansen Student Award Winner Good morning to all the respected teachers and the delegates of NESA. My name is Sahithi Vuppula, and I am an eighth grade student from the American International School of Kuwait. I am Canadian of Indian origin. To Begin with, I would like to humbly thank my parents, my Brother Saketh, my teachers, especially Ms. Lyndsey Cox, my sixth grade teacher, and Ms. Kit Whitney, my Middle School Counselor, who both offered support and encouragement. And NESA for granting me the opportunity to stand Before you all and speak. When I was a child, I grew up in Canada, where I was presented with the basic needs of life. I would often help my mother solicit donations for organizations such as The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, and the Canadian DiaBetes Association. But I had no real idea what community service truly meant. As a young child I was under the impression that the world was a small and sheltered place, where everyone was as well off as I was, and that everyone had the same opportunities that I was presented with. It wasn’t until my first trip to India that I realized that my notion of how small and perfect the world was completely changed. I saw children worked hard and were not presented with the same opportunities I was presented with. A desire soon grew to try and help the people I saw. I asked my father what I could do to make a difference, and he told me that good things come in small packages, and that any heartfelt service to people, no matter how small the contriBution, could help make the world a Better place, one step at a time. -
A Survey of Practices and Beliefs of Fifth and Sixth
An Overall Evaluation of Elementary English Education in Taiwan Over eighty countries in the world have English as their most important foreign language due, in part, to the globalization of world economies, the effects of technology, and especially because it has become the universal language of the internet. The teaching of English at elementary school levels has also been strongly recommended by many educators according to the result of a worldwide survey (Brewster, Ellis, Girard, 2000). In Taiwan, the Ministry of Education (MOE) declared a new policy of beginning the teaching of English in the fifth grade in the fall semester of 2001 to replace the previous policy of introducing English in the seventh grade. The teaching of English in Taiwan has taken a dramatic step toward preparing students to better communicate in the global society. A thorough evaluation of this new Elementary English Education (EEE) program is the next crucial step after its implementation and is the purpose of this study. Researching the beliefs and practices of present day fifth- and sixth-grade elementary school English teachers in Taiwan provided the data which reflects current realities. In 1974, Girard gave a detailed report of several European early foreign language learning projects. He indicated some conditions and issues involved in implementing early foreign language learning programs which are similar to the results of this study. In assessing those perceptions, it revealed areas of strengths and weaknesses in the current Taiwanese EEE. Only if educators in Taiwan have an understanding of the current system and conditions will they be able to assess the effectiveness of the present model. -

Mazzoli Chairman, Subcommittee on International Law, Immigration, and Refugees Committee on the Judiciary House of Representatives The Honorable Thomas J. Ridge House of Representatives About 75,000 Amerasians and members of their families have left Vietnam to resettle in the United States under the provisions of what is commonly called the “Arnerasian Homecoming Act,” enacted December 1987.’ These Amerasians have special ties to the United States because their fathers were American citizens serving in Vietnam prior to 1976, and because these very ties caused them to suffer hardships and discrimination in Vietnam. You asked us to assess both the process and outcomes of resettling Vietnamese Amerasians in the United States. We reported earlier (GAO/PEMD-93-1OR) the findings from our evaluation of the process whereby eligible Amerasians and their families become participants in the resettlement program in Vietnam, receive language training and cultural orientation in the Philippines, and finally are resettled in the United States. In the present report, we focus on the outcomes for Amerasians and their families after resettlement has taken place, particularly with regard to education, employment, -
