All,

 

Please note we work as a team. We want to thank 學明’s 努力and 熱心 and we need to respond quickly to secure the “hot” speaker.

旭昭,純岑, 慰祖, please weigh your comments on having an English (non-heritage) speaker for the conference.

 

Before we made a decision, we have the following questions.

 

1.       If the keynote is an English speaker, does that mean we can have English session speaker?

2.       Now, we require session speakers to submit traditional Chinese character for the program. (旭昭has an English version and many others do.) How are we going to defend ourselves that keynote speaker can, but they can’t?

3.       Do we believe Scott can address the needs for all member schools (most of them are running weekend Chinese school.)? Does Scott know how our member school operates and our needs?

4.       Do we have a disconnection between our program theme and the keynote? Can the keynote address and speak on our 主題?

5.       We love Scott. We just want to ask if he is our needs. Adding a famous speaker is good for 票房, but is this what member schools want to hear? Is this what our program wants to have? What do we want audience to take away from Scott’s speech?

6.       Has ACS had an English speaker before? If so, why don’t we open the conference to become bilingual (both English and Chinese)?

§  In this way, we don’t need to volunteer the conference, but we can make it a professional annual conference. 

 

學明, when do you need an answer? I can call other team members to get feedback if they don’t respond the email that quick.

 

Thanks!

Saya

I am with Wenling and Tso Hui.  With the strong background, may be we should consider not to limit to conduct it in Chinese.  Thanks.

Hi Saya,

 

"Did we say the keynote speaker has to speak in Chinese?" ----  Is it a Has to or better to?

 

If this is a very strong potential keynote speaker, can the team consider to not limited to "Has to speak in Chinese"? 

 

 

Thanks,

Wenling

Hi,

 

Attached are the summary/bio for Grace Yuan and Jen Liu.  In addition, Jen mentioned that she has a teacher can share her most recent experience on applying a Chinese teaching license step by step if we are still looking for a speaker.  How do you think?  陳校長 is the one know the process very well.  Do we want to invite this teacher to talk about applying Chinese teaching license?  Please let me know so I can send my response.

Dear All,
 
allow me to share my thought. it's absolutely my personal opinion.
 
1. If the keynote is an English speaker, does that mean we can have English session speaker?

     If there is strong candidate for session speaker whose topic fits very well to session subject, why not?  however, considering some teachers may not be that good in English (stay home mom), if there is another Chinese speaking candidate who has similar background as the English speaking candidate, then, I would take the Chinese speaking candidate.

2. Now, we require session speakers to submit traditional Chinese character for the program. (旭昭has an English version and many others do.) How are we going to defend ourselves that keynote speaker can, but they can’t?

    I would separate keynote speaker from session speaker.  The keynote speaker should be the one who can plot a big picture, point out a long term direction, and suggest where is opportunity.  A session speaker is more like a trainer, who is a expert in a specific area and can share experience and knowledge on doing particular subject

3. Do we believe Scott can address the needs for all member schools (most of them are running weekend Chinese school.)? Does Scott know how our member school operates and our needs?

   I am not familiar with Scott (sorry about that). But, again, a key note speaker is to throw out some idea to let people think!  Can it benefit to all schools, it depends on who is there to listen.  I do not believe there is any one speaker is able to benefit all the member schools from a talk. 

4.Do we have a disconnection between our program theme and the keynote? Can the keynote address and speak on our 主題?
   It's better to connect to our 主題.   However, it's not necessary.  Again, it's from my personal opinion.

5. We love Scott. We just want to ask if he is our needs. Adding a famous speaker is good for 票房, but is this what member schools want to hear? Is this what our program wants to have? What do we want audience to take away from Scott’s speech?

   If you can find Ang Li, will ACS say NO because he is only talking about film making or his personal story?   Of course, Scott is not Ang Li, I can not compare these two.  Just mean to say - don't need to stock on "member school needs".  If you had been in principal's meeting, many little topics which bother some schools you may not be interested in discussion at all.  Again, I would more focus on (a) direction and opportunity for ACS, (b) is this people has high reputation and famous :-)  If Li Ang can come, please do not say no. 

6. Has ACS had an English speaker before? If so, why don’t we open the conference to become bilingual (both English and Chinese)?

§ In this way, we don’t need to volunteer the conference, but we can make it a professional annual conference. 

This is a very good thinking and great idea.  We should open mind to any of possibilities which can make us stronger and more influencial in Chinese Language/Culture Education in US.  Who can make a breakthrough for ACS, who will be a hero in ACS history.  That is why I like this year's 主題 (which is Saya's idea? :-)  maybe start from next year, it's a direction ACS can try.

Best Regards,

Tso-Hui
