Joshua Carruthers

Dynamic educator with over 3 years at ACES English, and more than 15 years of ESL teaching here in Taiwan, adept in leveraging multimedia tools and innovative teaching strategies to enhance classroom learning. Excelled in lesson plan writing and classroom computer integration, fostering group collaboration and bilingual proficiency in English and Chinese. Proven track record in boosting educational engagement through problem-solving and effective communication. In my classroom, I have always strived to listen and teach, advancing my students knowledge as II become more adept with the group I am with, regardless of the environment!

With the prevalence of instant access technology, I have lead advanced classes to utilize online resources and multimedia programs to help kids gain a  fuller understanding of the breadth of the English Language.  I love using comics to bring English words and actions to life, board games such as Codewords and Werewords to show association and problem solving using English to reason things out, and Youtube to give life to the English that they are learning.  I truly believe that language learning takes more forms than just a classroom and a lecturer, and I love finding new ways, rules and devices to advance their understanding.  The more familiar and invested you become in a language, the more likely you are to pursue opportunities to use it!
