The target of this class is to improve students' ability of public speaking. We had to do a final presentation at the last class. Before that, each student had chances to do practice presentations based on different Ted talks. Those Ted talks were not all good in terms of public speaking skills. However, they were all helpful since you could try to avoid the mistakes appeared in the bad ones. In order to do the practice presentations, we had to absorb the content of the Ted talks and turn into our own words. That process was really challenging. It was interesting to see all the practice presentations because I found everybody had different focus even though we all watched the same video. I felt that we learned from Alex of course and learned from our classmates as well. Alex was very patient and gave sincere comments. He not only told us which parts we could improve but also gave us compliments. At the end of the class, I found myself become less nervous speaking in front of classmates.

Thanks again, Alex. His knowledge always helps me to broaden my mind, update what I learned before, see my blind spots, rethink about the world in a different way and consider the possibility (not to be alienated) of making some changes in my life and people's lives.
I appreciate his teaching. Looking forward to his new courses in near future.

持續上Alex的課兩次了，非常喜歡老師尚可時帶著我們討論的各種社會議題，每堂課都有充分的時間練習開口說、認識新的單字

老師每堂課都會準備一篇文章帶領大家討論，能學到很多新單字，也能討論平常比較不會去思考的社會議題。在Alex的課堂上可以很輕鬆的開口說英文，說錯了也沒有關係。

Alex is a very patient teacher, well-prepared in class, and the reading he shares is really useful. Since this is a discussion class, your classmates play a huge part in your overall learning experience as well.

Alex is always well-prepared, and is very patient to listen to the students. In the first class, we talked about the format of the class, what the topics we gonna discuss on, and you can always have your opinions of the topics. This class gave me many different perspectives to see the world.
Thank you Alex and of course other classmates. :)

喜歡Alex會用不同的方式解說單字，並說明其他同義字和做其他應用的延伸！最後用申論題討論的方式也很不錯～

Alex是一個很認真的老師，除了透過分享一篇新聞或文章讓我們學習許多單字之外，最讓我驚艷的是老師最後會列出幾個衍生的問題讓同學們討論，帶領我們深入思考該篇文章內的事件的成因、有無類似的經驗或是在台灣是否有相同的事件發生，而不單單只是看完那篇文章而已，很喜歡這樣的上課方式，可以學到很多。

2019年01月．一起輕鬆讀懂：尼采
尼采的理論難懂，課本內容也艱澀，因爲老師的帶領閱讀，才學習了怎麼抓重點和整合思考，雖然準備過程很辛苦，但是越過之後英文會進一大步。

很不錯的課，可以訓練到聽力和口說，遇到不會說的句子或是單字，老師都會補充說明，希望課程內容編排上更有明確的主題
Keira
2019年01月．英文聽說能力初級班
第一次旁聽Alex的課，他給了我們開口說英文的機會介紹自己以及教材的想法討論，並適時用英文解釋並補充單字，我覺得這很棒～
如果可能的話，以主題短篇文章為主，並帶入上述方式上課，師生應該會更能發揮～

I'm a return student because I feel like practicing English publicly again and again. Alex's class provides the opportunity to do that. Also, thanks for Alex's patience and kindness. I learned something new from my lovely classmates as well. Thank you all for being here, Vivian, Cody, Ed, Steve.

Again, thank you so much Alex. You helped me refresh my remaining memory of the full beard (Karl Marx), his central theory: historical materialism, bourgeois (capital) vs. proletariat (labor), surplus value ...
Most important, you leave you with several questions and encourage us to use another ways to view this world around us and go further. We may make a difference. I took two questions.
1. If not capitalism, then what?
2. How to deal with neoliberalism in Taiwanese comtext?

很開心參加Alex的輕鬆讀馬克思課程，如果沒有老師的整理和串連，是不可能光從書籍閱讀理解的。
上完課後，我對自己每天工作的意義，及資本家的世界觀，換了一個全新的角度，並讓我有能力讀些更深入的文章。
Alex的哲學家課程真的很棒，感謝你們開這樣的課，尤其開在週末。

This is probably my favorite class in MDT ever. Alex knows student's want and need, and is always ready to offer the most useful advices. In the end I find everyone in this class made a big progress. We truly learned a lot from each other. I love all our classmates' final presentations so much, each showing how much effort one had pour in, which fully demonstrate our own abilities and possibilities.

每個人都有至少2次機會針對Ted talk影片做簡報，另外還有期末報告，期末報告的主題不拘，可依照自己的興趣決定。課堂指定的Ted talk影片可以學到很多實用的簡報技巧，由於最後一堂課期末報告的主題是自己決定的，從資料蒐集整理、報告架構、投影片排版到最後上台做簡報，覺得簡報功力進步很多。同學們的報告也十分有趣，學到很多東西。

First of all, massive thanks for Alex' teaching way - patience, positive feedback and encouraging me to relax myself speaking on the stage. I appreciate his kindness and heartwarming quality, especially creating comfortable atmosphere to speak. Actually, I highly recommend those who want to share their ideas and practice public speaking fluently can take his course! More importantly, I hope I will have chance to attend his "Public Speaking" again because I always need second chance and spend more time improving myself. Ha
Hopefully, see you soon!

Alex would give abundant materials few days before a session, encouraging students to read over them for discussion, which may give a participant an opportunity to improve the skills of scheduling and reading. He is always open-minded about topics he's familiar with, e.g. politics, economics, etc. For those who are familiar with or interested in the fileds AND wants to improve a little bit more on English speaking with the already-quite-good base, you should be seriously considering Alex's class.

課程本身氣氛不錯 可以提供英文方面新的刺激 有助於維持英語語感 小小建議是松江南京場地有時候有點吵 南京復興比較適合

Alex 很棒，除了練習口說，也鼓勵大家提問，並給予我們許多不同的觀點，Alex博學多聞，上到最後覺得觀點反而是最吸引人的地方。

Alex 在課程設計上有自己的想法，第一堂課他就告訴大家說：「這些文章或許一開始有點難，但我希望大家在四堂課後，能夠學到討論國際時事的方法，未來能更有自信地以英文參與比較難的討論。」，從小上過這麼多英文課，我覺得老師對課程是否有期待、要求是很重要的。從這點來說，Alex 是位值得推薦的老師。另一方面老師私下蠻可愛的，會想一直參加下去 😄😄

Alex對於經濟、政治、歷史等議題涉獵很廣, 對於我不熟悉的領域, 從中學到很多, 除了所討論的國際時事議題, 也會加入此議題對於台灣的影響, 衝擊等討論分享, 很推薦的一堂課

步調輕快，善於營造輕鬆聊天的氣氛，讓人容易加入討論。老師擅長的國際政經領域及本身的生活經驗，都能補足台灣人(好啦也許只有我..)觀點不足的問題，也讓討論內容多了一份深度。

Alex認真選擇擅長的政治經濟相關文章，帶同學思考自身社會，藉由口說練習，加強英文詞彙運用。

老師會用開放態度去鼓勵學生討論，透過討論也可以知道許多時事。另外，老師對文字的使用有自己的想法，會針對特別單字做強調
Astrid

老師上課態度親切外，也十分樂意回答學生的問題。另外，Alex也會盡量讓學生發言，並適時引導及提供正確英文用字。如果想讓用字更精進的同學，滿推薦上Alex的課！
