  • Dr. Doris Marie Brougham (Chinese: 彭蒙惠; born 1926) is an American educator and Christian missionary. Studio Classroom, the English teaching program Brougham founded in 1962, has taught English to hundreds of thousands of people in Asia. Brougham also founded Heavenly Melody, the first Chinese Christian choir composing original music, and Overseas Radio & Television, Inc., a media company. Born in Seattle on 5 August 1926, Brougham made up her mind at age 12 she wanted to share God’s love with the Chinese people. In 1948, after graduating from the University of Washington with a B.A. in Far East Studies, she traveled to China via ship. After witnessing the Chinese Civil War, Brougham moved to Hong Kong in 1949, then to Taiwan in 1951. Brougham worked with the Atayal tribe in Hualien, eastern Taiwan. Shortly after, she started the first Christian radio broadcast in Taiwan. Believing media is the most effective medium to influence people, she founded Overseas Radio & Television, Inc. in 1960. She saw a great need for English on the island, so in 1962, she founded Studio Classroom, an English teaching radio program. The program was extremely popular, and later expanded into three English teaching programs with accompanying magazines- Studio Classroom, Let’s Talk in English, and Advanced. Besides English, Brougham, a life-long musician and avid trumpet player, produced Taiwan’s first Christian TV program, Heaven Melody, which aired in 1963. The show’s choir became the Heavenly Melody Singers, a professional choir that has held concerts in 36 countries and continue to share their music globally. A life-long educator, Brougham has received numerous awards, including the Order of the Brilliant Star, Taiwan’s highest non-military honor in 2002, for her contributions to the development of Taiwan. She was one of the first foreigners to receive Permanent Resident status on the island. Brougham’s hometown, Seattle, declared 2 April 2014 Doris Brougham Day in recognition of her exemplary work.
