LetterForMyron

February 4, 2022

To whom it may concern,

This is an unsolicited letter of recommendation for Cheng Fang Chiu (邱晟芳), AKA Myron, whom I taught English composition in his final year in the Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language program at National United University in Taiwan. I am eager for him to get a job teaching Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages, because I think teaching your language to people who don’t speak it opens up ways of thinking not available to other people.

Talking about time management apps, talking about evaluating the NUU program, talking about his liking for the Australian lifestyle, he impressed with a maturity, an articulateness, a communicativeness that exceeded that of the other students.

He has also continued to engage with me over the 18 months since the class ended, showing a consistency in his interest in intercultural communication.

Finally, he is easy-going and gets along with other people.

You can’t go wrong choosing him. Grab hold of him and don’t let him go.

Sincerely,

Greg Matheson, Lecturer (retired),
National United University
