【看CP學英文】新住民全球新聞網與IC之音FM97.5【新生報到-我們在台灣】合作,推出一系列精采的新住民在台灣的故事,本集節目邀請來自馬來西亞的新住民— 溫儀詩。

Taiwan Immigrants’ Global News Network has cooperated with IC Voice FM97.5 “New Life Registration-We are in Taiwan” to launch a series of brilliant stories about new immigrants in Taiwan.

This episode features a new immigrant from Malaysia — Wen Yi-shi (溫儀詩).

她目前在國立清華大學附設實驗小學擔任校長。溫儀詩的家鄉是在婆羅洲沙巴的山打根市,這個城市也被稱為「小香港」,多年前是一個繁榮的海港,最負盛名的就是新鮮美味的大明蝦、海鮮、燕窩等特產,而她最懷念的家鄉味是一碗簡單的海鮮麵,這是當地人習慣食用的早餐。

She is currently the principal of the “Affiliated Experimental Elementary School” of National Tsing Hua University. Wen’s hometown is Sandakan, Sabah in Borneo.

This city, also known as “Little Hong Kong,” was a prosperous seaport many years ago, making it the most famous for its fresh and delicious prawns, seafood, bird’s nests, and more.

The flavor she misses the most is a bowl of simple seafood noodles, a common breakfast dish in her community.

溫儀詩校長在大學時期,赴台灣就讀國立師範大學—教育心理與輔導系,畢業後定下姻緣留在台灣生活。她分享適應新環境的秘訣,首先就是要「停止想念家鄉」,從自身的想法開始改變,進而改變生活。

During her university years, Wen came to Taiwan to study in the Department of Educational Psychology and Counseling at the National Taiwan Normal University (國立師範大學-教育心理與輔導系). After graduating, she decided to stay in Taiwan where she met her future husband.

Recalling her years in Taiwan, Wen shared her secret of adapting to a new environment, explaining that the first thing you need to do is to “stop missing your hometown” and “change your thoughts, to change your life.”

同時,她自創「養樂多」自我開發哲學,「養」:每當遇到各種挑戰與困難,都把它視為一種「養」分,並透過大量的閱讀找到抒發之窗,滋養自己內在平靜與穩定的力量;「樂」:無論任何狀況,都能保持感恩的心看待這些事情,讓自己不停止學習,「樂」學享受在其中。「多」:人生總是有許多無法意料的事情,然而「多」欣賞會讓自己卸下壓力,「多」包容則幫助自己換位思考,當開始同理對方的角度時,一定會化解許多誤會而從新展開新的視角與體會。

She also created her “Yakult” self-development philosophy, called “Yang Le Duo” (養樂多) in Mandarin.

“Yang (養), which means “nourish” in English, represents whenever she encounters various challenges and difficulties, she regards it as a kind of “nutrition” (養分), and through a lot of reading, she finds a window of expression, which also helps nourish her inner peace and stability.

“Le (樂, happy)” means regardless of any situation, one can see things with a grateful heart, and let yourself continue learning; thereby, learning to “enjoy.”

“Do (多, more)” represents the many unexpected things in life, but “more” appreciation will relieve one’s pressure, and “more” tolerance will help oneself to empathize.

When one begins to empathize with the other person’s perspective, they will be able to resolve a lot of misunderstandings and develop a new perspective and experience.

對於為何會選擇投入教育工作,溫儀詩提及小時候將妹妹視為自己的學生,把在學校所學的新字詞教導妹妹。雖然兒時喜歡模仿老師的樣子,在高中畢業後順利申請師範教育竟獲得台灣國立師範大學的名額,並且成為正式老師之後,發現孩子們的學習困難,並非是知識性的層面,而是源自內在隱藏著許多不同的需求造成學習上的困境,因此溫儀詩希望能夠從心理層面著手,幫助學生克服心中的障礙與害怕,用傾聽的心來理解學生們真正的需求,協助他們更認識自己、建立學習自信。

Regarding why she chose to work in the field of education, Wen recalled that when she was young, she considered her younger sister as her own student and taught her new words that she learned in school.

When she was a child, she liked to imitate the teacher and felt so lucky when she successfully applied to and was accepted, at the National Taiwan Normal University after graduating from high school.

Since she became a teacher, she discovered that most children’s learning difficulties are not a question of their knowledge, but are in fact, many different hidden needs that lead to children’s learning difficulties.

Therefore, Wen hoped to start from the psychological level to help students overcome the obstacles and fears in their hearts. Through listening, she hopes to understand the real needs of students and help them better understand themselves and build self-confidence in learning.

溫儀詩坦言,考上校長是偶然的機緣,但真的要去擔任校長一職的時候,心裡卻是充滿猶豫與躊躇,其中最重要的決定是須放棄「雙重國籍」。經過幾番自我思索後,溫儀詩勇敢地採取行動實踐教育的理念,出任清華附小的校長。溫儀詩說道:「當老師是相當高難度的挑戰,重點不僅在於老師專業知識的方式,更重要是老師的內心能量與特質,因為這是真正影響孩子的關鍵」。溫儀詩校長認為能夠給予學生溫暖、彈性應變、同理孩子困難的老師,進而幫助學生建立成功的經驗,使孩子的眼睛發亮發光,就是一位好老師。

Wen admitted that becoming a principal was purely accidental. However, when she was due to take up the position, she was filled with hesitation.

The most important decision was to give up her “dual citizenship.” After a lot of thinking, Wen bravely took action to practice education and became the principal of Tsing Hua Elementary School.

Wen said, “Being a teacher is a very difficult challenge. The focus is not only on the professional knowledge of the teacher, but more importantly, the inner energy and characteristics of the teacher because this is the key that truly affects the student.”

Principal Wen believes that a teacher who can give students warmth, flexibility, and empathize with children’s difficulties, and then help students build a successful experience, and enlighten them, is a good teacher.
