The NTUST EMI teaching team participated in off-site training at the National
Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University, from June 25th to
29th, 2024, focusing on training faculty in both English and STEM education.
This initiative, supported by the Ministry of Education as part of the
"Bilingual Education for Students in College program," included sharing
bilingual promotion experiences and participating in international STEM
education workshops and conferences.
Dr. Shao-Ting Hung, Executive Director of NTUST’s Office of Bilingual Education
Initiatives, highlighted the increasing number of EMI-trained teachers since
2021. The focus now is on continuous professional development and integrating
STEM characteristics into EMI teaching.
Outstanding EMI teachers from NTUST and other universities attended the "2024
International STEM Education Conference" and engaged in discussions on bilingual
education strategies with administrative leaders from both Singapore and Taiwan.
The workshops and seminars aimed to enhance teaching techniques, understand the
latest STEM education trends, and promote international cooperation and faculty
exchange.
Professor Yu-Ling Hsu from the College of Management emphasized the value of
insights gained from international education experts, which will be applied to
improve EMI course planning, design, and student evaluation in the upcoming
semester.
NTUST's Office of Bilingual Education Initiatives and EMI Teaching Resource
Center continue to receive positive feedback for their efforts in training EMI
teachers, promoting cross-university teacher communities, and providing
one-on-one consultations and classroom observations. They plan to further
develop diverse EMI training programs to encourage ongoing professional growth
among EMI teachers.
