Shine Online Magazine

We created Shine Online Magazine for Taiwanese English learners. The language we use is targeted to improve comprehension by making it accessible. We use English to talk about life here in Taiwan as well as the rest of the world. Our stories are written in a variety of styles to keep kids interested. The language is selected to help kids express themselves and gain confidence. The themes are picked to spark conversations that will lead our students towards a bilingual future. And Shine Online is where it all happens!

Wonder Title bl.png

Wonder – As an introduction to our program the first two issues of Wonder are “What’s in a Name” and “On the Farm”. There are 6 weekly courses with a total of 3 episodes for each issue.

Wonder is designed for lower-elementary school levels but is suitable for kindergarten kids with strong English skills. Parts of the conversations will show the students vocabulary and sentence patterns they can use to respond to questions. Other parts will introduce deeper concepts that will encourage kids to use English on their own to express opinions or ask questions.

Discover is designed for upper-elementary school levels. The articles are longer and written for older students. We introduce vocabulary and sentence patterns that will help them with English classes at school. The course is structured so that less confident students can follow our sample sentence patterns and engage in the conversation. More confident speakers are encouraged to experiment with their own style of speaking.

Discover – Our first issue “Video Games”. There are 4 weekly episodes for the magazine.

What Makes This Different?

Shine Online uses new and imaginative ways to present content on the web. Our activities engage students with segments such as brainstorming, steps in a process, related viral videos, listening comprehension and around the home challenges that will have them moving, talking, participating, laughing, and learning.
