Workshop Series for International Teaching Fellows

WORKSHOP SERIES FOR INTERNATIONAL TFs by the Bok Center

In response to requests and feedback from those of you who are international
TFs, the Derek Bok Center is offering this fall a series of workshops that
target some of the issues that you expressed interest in learning more about.
We hope you can join us for any or all of these workshops. For more
information, contact Virginia Maurer (vmaurer@fas) or Huicong Zhang
(zhang22@fas). Space is limited so please RSVP by the requested date for each
workshop. Light refreshments will be served. We look forward to seeing you!

Virginia and Huicong



Speaking in Public I
Tuesday, 10/9 7:00-9:00 pm

Communicating effectively in public is essential to you in your academic career,
whether it be in your role as a scholar or as a teacher. You lead classroom
discussions, give lectures, present at conferences and give job-talks and
interviews. Whether it’s because you come from another culture or because you
are a non-native speaker of English, some of you might find public speaking in
the U.S. intimidating and particularly challenging. In this workshop with voice
and speech specialist Rebekah Maggor, you will learn some practical ways to
improve your clarity in English and engage your audience through effective use
of voice and body. (Workshop will be repeated on 11/16). RSVP to vmaurer@fas
by 10/7.


Responding to Student Writing
Thursday, 10/25 5:00-6:30 pm

Learning to provide effective and precise comments to students’ written
assignments often proves to be a challenge for international teaching fellows.
Do you find yourself surprised by students’ writing ability? Are you puzzled
about how to phrase your comments in order to help students become better
writers? Are you spending all your free time grading students’ papers and
having no time for your own research? This workshop is designed particularly to
help international teaching fellows become effective and efficient in responding
to student writing. RSVP to vmaurer@fas by 10/23.


Speaking in Public II
Friday, 11/16 3:00-5:00 pm

This workshop is a repeat of the workshop on 10/9. RSVP to vmaurer@fas by
11/14.


Reflections: how to incorporate your teaching experience into a statement of
teaching philosophy
Thursday, 12/13 5:00-6:30 pm

It is the end of the semester and your teaching responsibilities are almost
finished. In the past few months, there must have been moments of joy as well
as frustration for you as a new teaching fellow. Don’t let them slip away
unnoticed. These are great materials to be incorporated into your teaching
philosophy. A statement of teaching philosophy is one of the most important
documents in your teaching portfolio. It often plays a vital role in job
search. This workshop will help you reflect on your past teaching experience
and begin to formulate your own teaching philosophy. You will have the
opportunity to share insights with experienced teaching fellows, critique
sample statements, and also practice writing your own. RSVP to vmaurer@fas by
12/11.

Thanks for All of You Joining Our Winter Cloth Shopping Tour Yesterday!

Dear Friends,

We would like to thank all of you who joined our winter cloth shopping tour yesterday.

First of all, we have to dedicate our best gratitude to our drivers yesterday. Your kind offer and generosity made this shopping tour possible.

We hope all you passengers had a great harvest yesterday and we appreciate your participation.

We appreciate the question brought up by several friends about the pricing of the fees that we collected yesterday. Here is our brief explanation as follows. When we announced this shopping tour to public two weeks ago, we had only two kind drivers confirmed their offer of drive available, and we had to think about collecting enough funding for paying car rental plus insurance and gas from passengers on basis of each car, while we were working hard to find the lowest rate of car rental. Taking the car rented yesterday for example: The total expense we paid for the car rental price for a compact car ($42.55, reserved with united.com's discount while this rate was not sold out yet) and for gas $12 was $54.55 in total. Divided by four, each of the four passenger would have to pay $13.64. This number did not include a Liability Insurance Supplement (LIS, $12.44), a Loss Damage Waiver (LDW, $25.99) nor Personal Accident Insurance/ Personal Effects Coverage ($5.50) which we would have definitely paid to rent more cars when a driver's credit card had not covered them.
We were indeed grateful that there were more generous drivers confirmed their offer of seats available for this tour.

Again, many thanks to all of you and cheers for the busy semester!
Good luck and take care!

For more information and registration, visit:
http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/bos/ticketing/y2007/pstixopp_form.jsp

2007 Boston Red Sox Postseason Ticket Purchase Opportunity

Register now for the opportunity to purchase tickets for potential 2007 MLB postseason games which may be played at Fenway Park.

This registration process is used to create a more efficient and fair purchasing path as the number of tickets available for these games is extremely limited. The random drawing process has proven to be one of the most equitable programs developed allowing as many fans as possible the opportunity to enjoy postseason baseball at Fenway Park.

Applicants must fill out and submit the registration form below to participate in this opportunity to purchase. Registration begins at 12:00 noon Eastern Daylight Time ("EDT") on Wednesday, September 12, 2007 and will conclude prior to the World Series drawing. The Red Sox will then conduct a random selection of winners from the pool of registrants for each of the three postseason series. The winners will have the opportunity to purchase up to two (2) tickets to one (1) game of the 2007 postseason which may be played at Fenway Park in Boston, MA. Exact dates, times and instructions for ticket purchase will be communicated by email to each applicant selected. If a selected applicant does not follow these instructions, he or she will forfeit the opportunity to purchase tickets. There is no charge to register for this opportunity. There is no obligation to buy a ticket.

In order to be eligible for this opportunity, you must be eighteen (18) years of age or older at the time of entry. In addition, you must complete and submit the entry form located below during the Registration Period. Limit one entry per person. In the case of multiple entries for the same individual, only the first entry received will be considered. Only entries submitted to the Red Sox during the Registration Period will be entered in the random drawing. Entries generated by a script, macro, or other mechanical or automated means will not be valid. Please be sure to provide an accurate e-mail address. MLB.com and the Red Sox are not responsible for any e-mail notifications that are bounced back or misdirected.

For individuals who register by 11:59 a.m. EDT on Friday, September 28, 2007, a random drawing for the opportunity to purchase 2007 American League Championship Series ("ALCS") tickets will be held. Each applicant selected will be notified on a date to be determined via the email address submitted on the registration form. Those applicants whose names are selected shall have an opportunity to purchase ALDS tickets on a date and time to be determined.

Registrants who were not selected in the ALDS drawing or those who register after 12:00 noon EDT on Monday, September 17 will be eligible for the ALCS and World Series drawings.

All sales are final.

NOTE: MLB game dates and times are determined in the sole discretion of the Office of the Commissioner of Baseball and/or the Boston Red Sox, as applicable, and may be subject to change. All tickets purchased in connection with the drawing shall be subject to those policies applicable to Red Sox ticket holders generally; as such the Red Sox from time to time in their sole discretion may amend policies. Red Sox Non-Played Game Postseason Ticket Return Policy: Tickets purchased online or by phone - marked WEB/PHN on the front of the ticket - will be automatically credited back to the account holder of record and WILL NOT BE redeemable at the Red Sox ticket office. These tickets DO NOT have to be returned for reimbursement. You may not resell any tickets purchased in connection with the drawing or use such tickets for any promotional purposes whatsoever.

"I Don't Want to Sleep Alone" Screening at MFA 蔡明亮電影《黑眼圈》放映會

Remis Auditorium


I Don’t Want to Sleep Alone by Tsai Ming-Liang (Malaysia, 2006, 115 min.). A master of absurd minimalism, Tsai Ming-Liang leaves Taiwan behind and sets this film in his native Malaysia. In this new, multiethnic and multilingual setting of Kuala Lumpur, we find Tsai’s spectral muse, Lee Kang-Sheng, wordlessly trysting with not one but three equally laconic consorts. While all of the auteur’s signatures are here—endless running water, contagious disease, grime, muteness, sex, and song—they are expanded and diversified to such a degree that one could call this eighth feature his most saturated film. After a beating by swindlers, silent Hsiao-Kang (Lee) is carried by a group of Bangladeshi men back to their rundown abode, where he is nursed back to health by Rawang (Norman Bin Atun). Finding himself sharing a musty old mattress with his rescuer, a recovering Hsiao-Kang leaves the house to explore. Soon a noxious fog descends on the city, while a radio’s chatter serves as a kind of subtext to surreal events. Description adapted from Toronto International Film Festival. In Taiwanese and Malay with English subtitles. Director of Media Studies at Emerson College, Professor Shujen Wang will be introducing the film.

MFA members, seniors, and students $8; general admission $9.

Faculty and postdocs are welcome to come as well as graduate students. While attendees are asked to register for participation, there is no stricture requiring participants to attend all sessions. But several of those sessions should indeed be of interest, and perhaps even of immediate utility, to instructors at all levels.

HROCC encourages all friends to attend this conference, no matter you are fresh graduate student or senior scholars. The professional training of the Bok Center can definitely sharpen your teaching and class performance.
