Statement of Purpose - Personal 2

I am interested to apply in the Taiwan Foreign English Teacher Program (TFETP) as an English
Teacher. My friend and colleague awaken my interest after sharing the news of this rare
opportunity. My desire to widen my horizon through gaining new knowledge, learning new
strategies and sharing my expertise to others specially to foreign learners is one of my goals in
life.
I finished Bachelor of Arts in English in 2009 from Mindanao State University and pursued
Certificate in Teaching Program at Capitol University in 2012. After passing the Licensure
Examination for Teachers held on September 29, 2013, I applied at Department of Education -
Misamis Oriental Division. Fortunately, I was accepted by the department and became a
permanent employee on June 2014. I was assigned at Laguindingan National High School from
that date up to the present. For eight years, I have gained knowledge and learned different
techniques on how to deal students with diverse personality which was not taught during my
college days. Teaching by the book does not guarantee an effective teaching performance nor an
assurance that students find the lesson important at all. It is through capturing student’s attention,
understanding student’s individuality, modifying teaching strategies and applying different
activities based on student’s interest which make learning fun, productive and significant to
students.
Learning on how to read the English language is not just the main goal of an English teacher like
me but making the students comprehend the language. It is widely known that Philippines
considers English as a second language however, not all secondary level students comprehend
well. It is my goal to help students understand what they read in a simplest way possible. As a
Reading Coordinator of the school, it is my task to endorse and initiate a Reading Intervention
Plan. Integrating differentiated reading activities to diverse students need a thorough monitoring.
It is not sufficient to simply hand the activity without evaluating the activity’s appropriateness to
the student. My experience as an English teacher, as a Reading Coordinator and Tutor develops
my skills. I learn to apply different teaching approaches such as interactive classroom activities,
group and individual performance task. More than that, giving extra attention to student’s
background, and considering their learning styles are also considered by a teacher like me.
I consider myself lacking in terms of leadership that is why I took up Master of Arts in
Educational Administration at Phinma, Cagayan de Oro College and I was able to finish the
degree last May 2021. It taught me how to connect with my colleagues and I also learned how to
deal with them. Moreover, it trained me how to create a plan for my professional growth
however, carrying out the plan is the most challenging one. With this, I learn to strategize and
manage to gain the trust of my colleagues. The wisdom that I attain from my acquisition with my
colleagues and students gives me confidence that I fit for the position.
Teaching in public school makes me happy. However, I want to go beyond my limit. Though, it
is quite risky considering that I am already secure in my current job, I still want to venture
teaching in other country. It is my dream to teach in a foreign country wherein I would learn, and
understand its culture. I also believe that I will grow more professionally if I will be exposed to
different educational system. Moreover, I want to pursue higher education, learn more strategic
teaching and learning approaches and at the same time share my skills to my future colleagues
and students. If I will find this
If this application will be granted, I want to become part of the institution for at least five years. I
want to create my own name and be a dependable teacher and colleague. I want to be of great
help to the institution and contribute something for its betterment. If given a chance, I want to
pursue any teaching related courses which could enhance my knowledge and skills. Furthermore,
I want to understand the culture through being part in the community. Exploring the different
tourist spots of Taiwan is also part of the list which I wish to accomplish.
If I find this convenient, I would love to make this as my stable career in the future.
In other words, teaching can be considered a trial and error process. Thus, there is no best
learning and teaching strategies and approaches. It varies on the background and learning styles
of the students.
I also believe that my experience and skills will be an advantage and qualify me for the role.
