My Name is Eugene *

Hello, everyone. My name is Eugene, and my Chinese name is Tung Hsin, but almost all of my friends call me Shau-U. I was born in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and have been living and studying there for over than eighteen years. (And I'm almost 21 years old now ><)

After graduated from a public elementary school, I went to the junior high section in St. Dominic High School. It was then I discovered my interest to learn languages. Three years later, I graduated from DM High School and was luckily accepted by Wenzao Ursline College of Languages as the English major and French minor student. During those five years, I was crazy about the extracurricular activities. At my first year in Wenzao, I attended the Chorus as the soprano members. After one year, I was selected as the chef of General Affairs. In my third year in the Chorus, I was the conductor. I also join the English Association and the School Journal Editing Committee and others club. In my forth year, I established a whole new club called “Wenzao New Jazz Club.” I was the leader and also the TA of the club. For several times, my club was invited to do the performance or to attend the dancing competitions. Before I graduated, I, as the producer, participated in the 36th graduation play of the English Department. It was really the most fabulous time in my life.

Talking about the working experiences, I do not have many. During the winter and summer vacation, I usually work at my parents’ kindergarten and the cram school as the receptionist in the front desk or the TA of the English courses. I had been the tutor for a beautiful dame, who worked at Advanced Semiconductor Engineering Inc. I did learn a lot from those working experiences above.

My belief about the role of computer in my English learning experience is quite clear. I always believe that by using computer-assisted instruction, students may begin their program of study immediately without having to wait for an available tutor or class, and may significantly increase their extra information from time to time. My expectation in this class is to understand the impact of computer-assisted instruction on students. To be more specific, will it influence students’ personal achievement and learning attitudes. Therefore, my short term goal for this blog is to understand how does it help in the computer-assisted instruction in English learning course and try to combine its work with my teaching method. And my long term goals are using blog to think about how to promote greater quantity and quality of daily achievement of students; moreover, to increase their successful Enlgish composition abilities and the individualistic learning.

By the way, I’m an animalholic. Now I have two Spitzs and one Scotish Fold, and I expect to adopt some street dogs and cats in the future when I can afford it.
