心智哲學研究所 嚴偉哲教授

1.Group discussion


•Do you think it’s reasonable for Taiwan to promote English- Medium Instruction (EMI)? If so, why? If not, why not?

•How can we incentivize teachers to teach EMI courses? How can we incentivize students to take EMI courses?

•What are the biggest challenges when it comes to converting a Chinese-Medium Instruction (CMI) course into an EMI course?

•In your courses, do you do anything in addition to lecturing during class time? If so, what else do you do?

2. The long-term goal of EMI in Taiwan / NYCU

CMI courses can attract Chinese-speaking students. But English is the language of international communication. EMI courses can attract English-speaking students from all over the world.

3. Concerns you might have about going from CMI to EMI

My advice:


If you teach an EMI course, don’t spend your class time giving a two-hour lecture in English every week.
Do something else during class time, for example, short lectures followed by small group activities and class discussions.


4.Why not give a two-hour lecture in English?

I don’t usually give two-hour lectures.

I use class time to do things that we can’t do outside of class time.


Small group activities followed by large group discussions can only happen when we’re all together.
What’s the difference between watching/listening to a lecture in class (when we’re all together) vs. on YouTube (by yourself)?


5. What if students need a two-hour lecture?

You could make a video of yourself giving a lecture each week, and ask students to watch it outside of class time.

If there are videos on YouTube that have lectures on the material that you’re teaching, you could ask students to watch those videos.

Another advantage of videos vs. in-class lectures: subtitles

6. What can you do in class besides lecturing for two hours?
7. Harry Brighouse’s two iron laws of college reading

“Law One: The more reading you assign, the less the students will read.”

“Law Two: The more you talk in class, the less the students will read.”

8. Challenges and goals in going from CMI to EMI

Ensuring that the use of English does not result in poor learning outcomes

Making effective use of class meetings and mixing lectures with discussions and activities

Encouraging students to complete the required readings before class and to participate actively in class discussions

Using classroom activities to improve students’ understanding of the material and to encourage discussion

1. 醫工學院背景與挑戰


英文是否真的學以致用？
未來專業發展，英文是否為國際競合力的關鍵要素



2. EMI推動經驗分享
3. 教育部推動EMI定義

EMI課程期其授課內容、師生互動、學習教材、學習成效展現及評估應使用英文。EMI課程也能原則性且有30%使用中文。良好的EMI課程實踐應該以古禮學生以英語「說」及「寫」。

4. 教師EMI課程設計

EMI= English as the Medium of Instruction

5. EMI學生回饋
6. English Chat Hour
7. Using Class Time for the Important Content

Need-to-know information
Nice-to-know information
Don’t-need-to-know information

8. Tips on the EMI teaching and assessment

It does take time! Don’t rush.
Redesign your course step-by-step.
Feedback requires practice.

EMI雙語教學經驗分享會-生物醫學工程學系 羅俊民老師


EMI at the Yang Ming campus


We don’t teach English, we teach in English
We kill two birds (content and language) with one stone if EMI works well.


The major EMI challenge at the YM campus

Teacher lack a consensus on the necessity of teaching in English
Most of them think they have insufficient English proficiency and cannot teach in English fluently, so they have low motivation and lack self-confidence

My personal experience at USF


Make your speaking easy to understand and follow
Make sure that students understand essential information
Code-switching should be allowed as a teaching strategy in EMI classrooms when necessary
Help students (less proficient in English) cope with EMI content by facilitating learning in Chinese and guiding them to repackage content


Some closing thoughts

Learning to teach content in English is challenging but worthwhile
Make it easier by

Avoiding reinventing the wheel – many resources are already available
Trying one thing at a time – perhaps start with the most comfortable thing to change
Watching and getting feedback from instructors who are experienced with EMI learning
Being transparent with students




I’m not telling you it’s going to be easy, I’m telling you it’s going to be worth it.
