程崇璨 (Lily C. Cheng)

從小時候, 我就喜歡彈琴、唱歌。喜歡站在臺上表演。喜歡做小老師。

在台灣時, 任職於台北交通銀行總行十三年。期間, 成立交銀合唱團。 並為慶祝交通銀行成立五十週年紀念, 在國軍文藝中心演出, 並獲獎。來美後, 一直在會計單位工作。今年是在 ASHRAE, INC. 連續服務整二十年。

由於對於中華文化的熱愛, 每週六均執教於中華文化學校, 已屆九年。現在是中華文化學校三年級和八年級的專任中文教師。也曾任教於慈濟中文學校二年。 並在家中設有中文個別單獨班的教學。

今年五月的結業典禮, 我們全體二年級的小朋友成功地表演了一齣有趣的短劇 --“不可偷吃大蛋糕” -- 小朋友和家長都非常高興。2008年秋天, 我們將開始學習第三冊。 今年的中心題目是 “快樂的生活” 。 我們將會有唱歌、遊戲、表演, 全面的電腦及投影教學。

中國正在起飛, 學中文是最智慧的選擇。 中、英文合併教學, 並以生活化的口語導引學生的學習興趣, 是 ”中文個別單獨班” 連續教學八年成功的重要因素。

啊! 教中文真是一件有趣的事。學中文也是一件有趣的事。 I am the funny teacher! Believe me. 啊! 說了這麼多, 別忘了我是“程老師”, 我的名字是程崇璨。請和我們一起玩遊戲, 學中文。

My name is Lily C. Cheng, and everyone calls me “Teacher Cheng”.

Ever since I was a little girl growing up in Taipei, I have loved playing the piano and singing songs. I enjoy performing on stage as much as I enjoy being a teacher!

One of my first jobs was at the Bank of Communications, where I was employed for thirteen years. During this time, I organized and conducted a Bank Choir. The most memorable event during my years there was the celebration of our Bank’s 50^th anniversary extravaganza. With myself serving as the conductor, my Choir performed in front of a huge audience at the Armed Forces Cultural Activities Center. It was quite a success!

Since I came to the United States, I’ve been working in the field of accounting. This year has marked my 20^th anniversary at the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers, Inc (ASHRAE).

Every Saturday for the last nine years, I have taught Chinese at the Chinese Cultural School. I will be teaching the Third and the Eighth graders in the Fall.

During our recent graduation ceremony at the end of May, my second grade students put out a short drama – “Don’t Eat Large Cake by Yourself”. It was a very funny show and the parents, the students, and the guests all enjoyed it and had a great time!

This Fall, these students will begin learning the third book, and it’s main theme is “Happy Life.” I will be mixing singing, game playing, computer and multimedia technology into my teaching. Needless to say, we will put out another wonderful performance at the next graduation ceremony!

I taught Chinese at the Tsu Chi Academy for a brief period of two years too. In addition, I have also taught Chinese individual classes at home for eight years.

Due to the fast-paced economic boom in China over the past few years, China has played an increasingly larger role in the world economy today. The timing has never been better to learn Chinese. The combination of bilingual tools, interactive conversation to improve my students’ interest and the desire to learn Chinese has been the main reason for the success of the individual classes at home that I’ve taught for the past eight years.

It’s been a fascinating experience to teach Chinese, and I am especially a fun teacher to have, believe me!

Please join me this Fall for a fun and educational experience!
