Using English in Class

This noon, Yi-ching (陳怡晴) paid me a visit and we had a good 2-hour chat over lunch.  In our conversation, Yi-ching asked if my new students were shocked at our first encounter by my speaking English for almost the whole class period.  I said some were and some weren't. 

Then, coincidentally, in the everning, Yung-jen (高永真) called me from Tunghai University.  She told me she missed me and how helpful it was for her to listen to and speak so much English when she was in high school English class.  Today she had an oral interview in English at Tunghai, and she was not afraid at all.   And since she is majoring in English, the professors use English in class.    She finds it natural.   I thanked her for telling me all this.
