International Cafe - 2009

 

The 34th annual International Cafe
took place on Monday, March 30 and
included international and American
students. Luis Ferrer and family
represented Colombia. The German
Club came with many delicious dishes
and one member in traditional dress.
The Japanese Club brought students
from the U.S. and Japan together to
serve Japanese delicacies.
International students worked hard to
prepare and serve dishes from Korea,
Turkey and Saudi Arabia. This truly
successful event would not have been
possible without the dedicated efforts
of many and we at TIEP wish to thank
everyone who made this year’s event
so successful!

 

Thank you for making 2009 one of the best ever at the International Cafe!!

Eiko Shida

Practice Teaching

 

“My dream since I was
a child has come true!!
I got a job as an English
teacher in middle
school.”


Eiko Shida recently wrote to TIEP
about her experience of practice
teaching which led to her employment
as a middle school teacher. She was
able to transfer her UT Martin course
credits toward her graduation from
Hirosaki University. Eiko was very
kind to send us several photos of her
practice teaching.

  

 

 

News from Alumnus from Taiwan

"I saw the Alumni Visits, and that really makes
me want to go back to UTM to the TIEP
program and visit the lovely, warm town-
Martin again! And I truly would love to visit
TIEP, UTM. I really miss you all!"

 

We recently received news from Yi Chun, Chen (Sherry) from Taiwan. She wrote: It is so nice to hear news from TIEP. As I read through all the latest news and information contained in the email, my memory of studying in TIEP and UTM just keeps flashing back in my head. I really miss the time when I was in Martin at the University. I had so much fun in UTM. Studying in UTM was a remarkable, wonderful life experience for me! I truly appreciate all TIEP and UTM teachers for your diligent guiding and instructing. I started working as a administrative assistant at the Biotechnology Center in the National Chung Hsing University which is located in my hometown-Taichung, Taiwan (10 minutes by car), since November, 2007. I am currently living with my family and am doing fine. I am still practicing Qigong (a kind of martial arts) in Tai Ji Men Qigong Academy, and I am usually a volunteer during weekends for Non-profit organizations of Association of World Citizens, Taiwan (AWC) and Federation of World Peace and Love (FOWPAL) under UN/NGO.

 

Saudi Arabian Night

John Mathenia tries Arabian coffee

 

Students from Saudi Arabia hosted Saudi Arabian Cultural Night this Spring at U.T. Martin. Many students, faculty, and members of the community gathered to taste Saudi coffee, try the cuisine, and see photos of various cities of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. They heard Middle Eastern music and had the chance to join in Saudi traditional dance.
