Through visiting these universities and working with the teachers and students there, Prof. Carkin had established close connection with some professors and administrators in these universities.
Prof. Carkin has also received invitation to come back to Taiwan next year to give speeches and teach courses from some of these universities.
During Prof. Carkin's visit to NCKU, he worked closely with Dr. Kao for a book about using drama to teach English in ESL/EFL contexts. Some teaching plans, video clips, photos, and students' responses from the classes have been collected as the data of the book.
Overall speaking, it is a quite short yet fruitful visit in NCKU.

Please evaluate the performance of research, teaching or science and technology R&D and management Work: (To be completed by Project Investigator or Head of Department/Center)
(1)是否達到延攬預期目標？

Yes. Through taking Prof. Carkin's class and observing his teaching styles, our graduate and undergraduate students understood what drama can do in a language classroom, both from the aspect of teacher-to-be and language learning aspects.
(2)研究或教學或科技研發與管理的方法、專業知識及進度如何？
What are the methods, professional knowledge, and progress of the research, teaching, or R&D and management work?
Prof. Carkin had conducted several workshops with different groups of participants, including teachers, undergraduate English majors, and graduate drama majors. The workshops were all video recorded. These previous classroom data can serve as materials for teacher training and language learning. Prof. Carkin also passed his teaching handouts and course materials to the classes/departments he visited.
(3)受延攬人之研究或教學或科技研發與管理成果對該計畫(或貴單位)助益如何？
How have the research, teaching, or R&D and management results of the employed person given benefit to the project (or your unit)?
Prof. Carkin and Dr. Kao plan to write a teacher's manual about how to use various drama techniques in the language classroom. The outlines had been laid down and soon they will proceed the actual writing.
Prof. Carkin and Dr. Kao co-presented a research report at the TESOL 2012 Convention (March 27- 31, 2012), and conducted a full-day workshop in the pre-convention institute in TESOL 2102 convention. Prof. Carkin has been conducting real and on-line workshop for international participants.
Thus working with him is a previous experience for our faculty members to learn how to cooperate with international researchers/teachers in a project.
(4)受延攬人於補助期間對貴單位或國內相關學術科技領域助益如何？
How has the employed person, during his or her term of employment, benefited your unit or the relevant domestic academic field?
Prof. Carkin prepared four different workshops for four different universities in Tainan, Kaohsiung, and Kinmen. We believe these units have greatly benefited from his teaching materials, working styles, and expertise in the field of drama-in-education.

Please describe the specific work performance, or the results of research, teaching, or R&D and management work:
Prof. Carkin had published an SSCI paper together with one of our faculty members. They will work together closely and write a book for language teachers.
(6)是否續聘受聘人? Will you continue hiring the employed person? □續聘 Yes X 不續聘 No
3
Due to Prof. Carkin's duty with his original university, Southern New Hampshire University, he must return to teach for the spring quarter. Thus, we cannot continue hiring him. In fact, his schedule is usually very full all-year-round. If we plan to hire him again in the future, we will need to arrange the schedule much earlier.
