This graduate-level course is designed for in-service and pre-service language teachers and all others interested in technology enhanced foreign language instruction. It will give participants a broad overview of theories and practices of technology enhanced teaching, and engage participants in creating appropriate contexts in which language learners interact and negotiate meaning in the technology-assisted classrooms. Through using and discussing existing and potential applications of technology in the language classroom, course participants will learn to develop new technology-enhanced tasks and adapt existing tasks to suit the needs of their learners.
This course, i.e., Computer Simulation, concerns how to evaluate the performance
of networks through a simulation approach (or a mathematical approach). For this
approach, tools can be developed based on probability and statistics. To achieve
this goal, three parts are included:
Part I: Simulation Techniques (Including Review of Probability and Statistics)
Part II: Case Studies (Using Selected Papers)
Part III: Performance Analysis Using the Mathematical Approach
This course is designed to provide students with knowledge, applications and solutions to problems related to human factors. In our courses, we will improve physical, cognitive and environmental issues related to human-machine systems through lectures by industry experts and case/problem discussions.
Associate Professor Chia-Yu Huang started the lecture by addressing common issues encountered in EMI courses, highlighting one of the main challenges teachers face when transitioning to English-medium instruction: the discomfort of change. Focusing on this core issue, Professor Huang shared her journey of reshaping her teaching methods and relearning how to become an effective instructor.
In her course design, Professor Chao applied various educational theories, such as The 4Cs Framework of CLIL to assist in the stability of EMI course structure. Using these methods, Professor Chao also presented the results of her research using these methods, indicating that while language proficiency did not significantly improve, students did show improvement in subject knowledge, language communication, cognition and cultural expression.
The Office of Bilingual Education Initiatives at NTUST hosted the 112-2 semester's second EMI Teaching Assistant Training Session "Tutoring Skills Workshop" on May 10th, 2024. The featured speaker, Antony Parnigoni, presently serves as the English Education Manager at Uni-edit English Editing Co., Ltd., and also as a professional counselor at the Center for Academic Literacy (CAL) at NTNU.
The Office of Bilingual Education Initiatives (OBEI) at NTUST held the first EMI Teaching Assistant Training Session of the semester, titled "Enhancing EMI Teaching and Learning: TA Strategies for EMI classrooms," on April 24th. The speaker invited to this seminar was Mr. Kyle Lai, an alumnus of the Department of Applied Foreign Languages who currently serves as a lecturer in the Foreign Languages division of the Common Core Education Committee of the Office of Academic Affairs at National Taiwan Normal University. From tackling common challenges to mastering mentoring techniques, Kyle spilled the beans on it all!
Professor Zhang shared her years of research on EMI teaching with everyone, demonstrating how to make improvements based on issues encountered during the teaching process. She emphasized that EMI teaching should not simply involve translating teaching content into English, but rather planning new course structures and content specifically for EMI courses to help students absorb knowledge.
The Office of Bilingual Education Initiatives successfully held the first EMI-themed lecture of the 2023-2024 second semester—"Flipping the EMI Classroom"! We were honored to have Professor Wang Dao-Yi from the Department of Economics at National Taiwan University as our guest speaker for this lecture. Professor Wang shared his insights on EMI teaching and demonstrated how to use modern technology and interactive activities to enhance student engagement in the classroom.
