Alhambra Unified School District has joined with the Language Partner Program of the Taoyuan City Government Department of Education in Taiwan for a cultural exchange called the English Conversational Enhance Program (ECEP). Through ECEP, students from all three AUSD high schools (Alhambra High School, Mark Keppel High School, and San Gabriel High School) will connect with Taiwanese peers from Dayuan International Senior High School, Ping-Jen Senior High School, and Taoyuan Senior High School. Through a series of virtual meetings, the program helps Taiwanese students improve their English fluency in a friendly environment, while all student participants learn about another culture, expand global perspectives, and build international friendships. The first of six meetings was held in September with sophomores and Student Advisory Council members Leslie Chu and Angelina Yip taking on a leadership role by facilitating introductory icebreaker activities. We are looking forward to watching our students learn and grow from this experience and will share more about this program as it progresses further.
