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.

Hi, all:

周淑涵 is not available. I am going to contact Scott. He may not be able to delivery his speech in Chinese. Did we say the keynote speaker has to speak in Chinese?

Tommy,

my opinion - I don't think Chinese speaking is a must.

He has very strong and interesting background. It's good for ACS to reach out.
many 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,

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

Saya has the point: team work. Having Sctt as the keynote is fine, but I suggest to ask Scott whether he can present the speech by Chinese. Maybe we will have a positive answer and he is able to do so too. If the answer is "No", then we need a translator. We will request the keynote address and speak on our 主題, and the point is we will use Chinese as the main Language.

Besides our speakers Dianna Wang, Ming Zhong Gao, who else I need to contact, Saya, please send me the names and their contact info. Thanks.
