Dr. Doris Brougham has been a friend to students and English teachers for over 60 years. Studio Classroom, the English teaching program Dr. Brougham founded in 1962, has taught English to hundreds of thousands of native Chinese speakers throughout the world.
In addition to her work with Studio Classroom, Doris has taught English through various other venues, including universities, private companies and government agencies. In 1994, she established the Doris Brougham Scholarship to provide financial assistance to high school students with good grades in English, as well as college and graduate students majoring in English or Mass Communications.
Throughout her career as an educator, Doris has received numerous awards, for her efforts to teach English to Chinese students. While she appreciates each award, her greatest reward is watching Chinese students' English ability get better and better with each passing year.

彭蒙惠老師已來台五十多年，一直是學生們的好朋友，她於一九六二年創辦的空中英語教室，透過空中英語教室的雜誌、廣播及電視教學，彭老師的學生遍及台灣、中國大陸以及世界的華語人口。
除了空中英語教室，彭老師亦曾於大專院校、私人企業與政府機關教授英語，她生活、趣味而人性的教學方式，至今仍為學生們津津樂道。 為了鼓勵青年學子加強英語的學習，彭老師於一九九四年設立「彭蒙惠教育獎學金」，分為研究所、大學和高中職三組，「我只是盡我所能的，讓年輕的孩子知道，有人關心也在乎他們在英語方面的努力。」彭老師表明設立獎學金的目的。
彭老師的教育生涯一路走來，因者她為華人學生英文教學的努力，獲得了許多的獎項。她為每一個獎感謝的同時，得到最大的回饋就是看著華人學生的英文能力逐年地進步。
