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
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

3. 教育部推動EMI定義
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
