Profile:
For the first half of his life, Scott lived
and worked in various cities around the US. After graduating from college, he
hitchhiked across America and, later, traveled Europe by train, bus and boat
for a year. For the twenty years before arriving in Shantou, he lived in Kyoto,
Japan, where he taught English to students ranging in age from 1 to 90, studied
Japanese and, while attending Japanese language school, met his wife.
Scott arrived at STU in 2010 and, since
then, has taught in the English Through Art program, ELC’s special suite of
courses for the art and design students of CKAD. During the same period, he has
been the director of ELC’s Center for Independent Language Learning (CILL). The
two positions have allowed him to pursue and apply a range of personal
interests: interior, graphic, webpage and curriculum design; drawing and
painting; cartooning and illustrating; writing prose and dialogue, woodworking
and cabinetmaking and a variety of other arts and crafts.
