創辦人的話

    當今世人最普遍的溝通語言，Linqua Franca，是英語。康寧的使命是提供一個愉悅安全的環境讓孩子在歡樂中把英文學好，為他們打開通往世界的另一扇大門，讓他們得以拓展胸襟，廣納多元文化，減少人類紛爭，促進世界和平。

    外語的學習是因溝通需要，在自然的貿易或其他交流中產生的，如今孩子們在教室中，無法理解未來的溝通需求，唯有訓練有素，充滿熱忱的專業老師設計饒富教育意義的精彩課堂活動，方能引發其學習動機，讓他們在快樂中有效的學習。 

    畢業於台大外文系，任教過國高中及補習班後，毅然赴美留學，以精進英語教育學養，有幸榮獲美國紐約哥倫比亞大學教師學院英語教學碩士學位；回國後全力投入英語補教及全英語幼兒教育，積極研發並精選最新教材教法，訓練輔導康寧老師，提高教學品質，確保孩子在快樂中有效學習。 

    堅持全英語、全外師、全人教育的理念，提供浸潤式的英語情境，讓孩子聽語，說英語，用英語思考，更重要的是，接受英語多元文化的洗禮，融合中國固有的君子品德，進而發展建全的人格。

Founder’s Words

KNES’ mission is to create a fun, safe and secure environment for children to learn English. English education will help to broaden our children’s horizons. Through exposure to other cultures, our children will become more understanding and accepting of differences, leading to less conflict and eventually world peace.

Previously, foreign language education was informal and driven by necessity.However, the children of today are taught English in classrooms devoid of context and of the real-world need. Therefore, teachers must be well-trained, passionate, and professional in order to help motivate children, and to enable them to learn in a fun and effective way.

Graduating from National Taiwan University (Foreign Language Department), I had previously taught in high schools, Junior High, and cram schools. Determined to improve my own English teaching skills, I enrolled in Columbia University Teacher’s College in New York, USA. I graduated with a Master’s degree in TESOL and then returned to Taiwan to share my new knowledge. This resulted in the creation of an English immersion environment, implementation of the latest teaching methods and materials, and an improvement in KNES’ teaching quality. This helped us to achieve our goal of enabling children to learn in a fun and effective way.

By insisting on our three core principles (Whole-English, Native English-Speakers, Character Education), KNES provides an immersion environment in which children can listen, speak and think in English. More importantly, the children are exposed to multiple foreign cultures, which when blended with traditional Chinese beliefs, helps them become a well-rounded individual.
