[轉貼] 老丹的英文課 - Part5
老丹的英文課 - Part5
山區教育資源缺乏，自己動手製作教學工具
Lacks of educational resources and hand-made teaching aids.
一般老師，願意來到這個窮困的泰雅山區的，原本就不多，而石磊這裡，路途遙遠，大半師生得天天住校，假日才能下山，能耐得住寂寞的老師，就更難得可敬了。但是丹尼爾來石磊已經三年了，這裡待最久的老師也只是三年，這幾年間校長也換了三任。
A few teachers were willing to come to this remote place, because they had to take a long time to arrive at school, need to live in the school, and only go home in the weekend. Most teachers could not get accustomed to their life like that. Daniel had been to Slay for three years, and he was the only one teacher who stayed in Slay for a very long time. In these years, there were altogether three principles serving in the school.
一位老外，卻意外成為石磊最資深的英文老師。他來之後，學校才慢慢補足了一位正規的英文老師，又爭取了一位替代役老師，聯手教英文。丹尼爾老是說，學校的英文老師很好，很優秀，他只是在「服侍最小的弟兄」，也就是扶持最弱小的人。山裡教育資源奇缺，文化刺激很少，再加上原住民的弱勢，這些泰雅族的後裔，面對的是複雜的未來世界。
A foreigner unexpectedly became the senior English teacher. With his devotion, the principle applied for another English teacher serving in Substitute Service. English courses were executed smoothly under their effort. Denel always admired the young English teacher was excellent, and tried to give every student a hand. Lacks of educational resources, deficiency of culture shock and disadvantage of the minorities brought these Atayal Tribe children more challenges for their future in this complicated world.
問他希望帶給石磊小朋友什麼影響？丹尼爾回答說：「我希望他們覺得有人care（關心）他們，知道自己很重要、很重要，不要放棄。」在台灣社會都快遺忘這群人的時候，丹尼爾眼中，他們顯得無比珍貴，「我覺得原住民很重要，全世界的原住民都在消失中，我很寶貴有機會認識他們。」
When somebody asked Daniel that what he would do for these students in Slay, he said he wanted to have students know that someone really cared about them, that they were good, and that they should never give up easily. Aborigines were minority groups in Taiwan, and people in Taiwan did not know very much about them. However, in Daniel’s mind, they were precious. “Many aborigines were in danger of extinction in the whole world, and that was my pleasure to get in touch with them” he says.
丹尼爾尤其愛上幼稚園的課，這天他教的是「big」跟「small」的概念，要小朋友在教室裡找一樣大的、一樣小的東西。連續上了四堂課，丹尼爾依舊興致勃勃，他赤腳在地上像青蛙一樣蹦跳，小朋友在寒冬裡，回報他歡悅的笑聲。
Kindergarten courses was Daniel’s favorite. The day Daniel taught the concept of “the Big” and “the Small”, and he tried to let students find two objects, one was big and the other one was small. Four successive courses passing, Daniel was still full of energy, and acted energetic with his barefoot on the floor. All students requited his effort with cheerful smile in the cold winter.
