This four-week Fulbright-Hays Group Projects Abroad program in Taiwan will include twelve K-12 pre-service and in-service educators from Ohio. The four objectives for the program are: 1) Provide pre-service and in-service educators from Ohio with service learning experience by teaching English (as an additional language) in a public K-12 school in Taiwan; 2) Promote pre- and in-service educators’ intercultural competence and understanding of multilingual and multicultural education via a comparative lens; 3) Grow pre- and in-service Ohio educators’ capacities to develop culturally efficacious pedagogical materials and practices that will be shared with colleagues in Taiwan and in Ohio; and 4) Develop pre- and in-service Ohio educators’ Mandarin language proficiency with intensive Mandarin language lessons and authentic engagements with Mandarin speakers and the multilingual/multicultural spaces in Taiwan.
