Bruce, TV Show and ETC Bontang
In terms of distance from airport, Bruce's post is the farthest. From the airport he has to take a taxi for more than 2 hours.
One of Bruce's highlights in his hosting a weekly, live, call-in Television Program every Monday Night, 9:00 to 10:00. The broadcast can be watched in Samarinda City and the surrounding areas in East Kalimantan.
Here is what he wrote re the program:
Every Monday night between 9pm and 10pm I co-host an English language television program called English Night. It is a live call-in show where viewers call and ask questions or make comments about that night’s topic to me and the other co-host(s). The topics usually pertain to learning and speaking English. I also use the program to promote materials from RELO (Books-in-a-Box)as well as projects I am involved in (teacher training workshops) and to educate people about the English Language Fellowship (ELF). We get an average of two to three callers each show and have many interesting and lively discussions with the callers and each other. We get a lot of good feedback from the callers about the show and I feel has a positive impact on the community
On January 11- 13, Bruce gave a kind-of workshop and immersion program for 3 days, where he met and interacted with young learners, adult learners, and teachers.
Here is what he wrote:
I went to English Training Center (ETC) in Bontang at the request of the teachers and administration of that school to allow students and teachers an opportunity to interact with a native English speaker and use the target language in a communicative way through games and other activities. This was also an opportunity to meet with teachers to answer their questions about English teaching and professional development. This was part of an outreach program I am doing in partnership with my host institution to promote English language education in the area in and around Samarinda. The schedule for each day was for me to meet with adult students in the morning for a two hour session, elementary school students in an early afternoon two hour session and middle school or high school students in a late afternoon two hour session. Many challenges occurred during the course of the event regarding coordination organization between teachers and students mainly because of the large number of students participating in each session. However, the event was very productive and all participants enjoyed the event. As a result, I was asked to return for future events and to conduct workshops for teachers at ETC and the public schools in Bontang.
