As higher education institutions in Taiwan actively promote the “Transnational Higher Education EMI (English as a Medium of Instruction) Initiative,” assisting discipline-specific faculty members in balancing subject-matter expertise with effective English instruction has become a key element in higher education transformation. 隨著臺灣大專校院積極推動EMI高等教育，協助專業領域教師兼顧學科專業與英語教學成效，已成為高等教育轉型的關鍵要素。 本計畫旨在深化臺美高等教育合作，由「美國 EMI 大學聯盟」推薦頂尖領域學者，透過「線上學習講座」與「實體論壇研討會」的混合培訓模式，引進國際最新 EMI 教學實務、課堂互動策略與跨學科課程設計經驗，全面提升臺灣大專校院教師之全英語教學量能。
Session 1 場次一
Interactive EMI Teaching: Formative Assessments and Entry Points That Get Students Talking
互動式 EMI 教學：讓學生開口發言的形成性評量與切入點
Speakers 講者
Date/ Time 日期時間
Tuesday, November 3, 2026 12:00pm-13:30pm
Description 活動簡介
In this workshop, instructors will explore simple ways to make their classes more interactive and student-centered. We will look at how to use formative assessments to check student understanding in real time, and why students often stay silent when asked, “Does anyone have any questions?”
Participants will learn four principles for creating welcoming “entry points” where students can engage: asking focused questions, modeling answers, building questions into lecture slides, and varying response types. Participants will then hear from instructors at Taiwanese universities about how they apply these principles in their own classes, and how working with a Fulbright Taiwan EMI advisor helped them brainstorm and put interactive teaching strategies into practice.
這場工作坊將帶領教師探索簡單實用的方法，打造出互動性更高、以學生為中心的課堂。我們將探討如何運用「形成性評量」來隨時掌握學生的吸收狀況，並剖析為什麼每次問台下「有沒有問題？」時，學生總是一陣沉默。
本活動將一同討論如何透過提出具體聚焦的問題、示範如何回答、將問題直接融入授課簡報，以及運用多元的答題方式等四大原則引導學生參與，創造友善的「互動契機」。最後，我們也邀請到台灣大專院校的老師現身說法，分享實際應用的課堂經驗，以及在與學術交流基金會 EMI 顧問的合作中，如何激盪出教學靈感，並成功落實互動式教學策略。
Session 2 場次二
Flipped Classroom 翻轉教室
Speakers 講者
Date/ Time 日期時間
Wednesday, December 2, 2026 09:00am-10:30am
Description 講者簡介
In this workshop, we will discuss the concept of “flipping” a class, which is a way to organize the class to improve students’ learning. The main idea is to break the traditional mold where students are passive listeners during lectures. Instead, the lecture time is used for the students to more actively engage with the material. The goal of this workshop is to discuss why you may want to consider flipping your class, how you can do it in practice and which ideas you can adopt incrementally.
Curt Schurgers is a Teaching Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California, San Diego. His focus is on undergraduate course development, active learning/flipped classrooms, engineering pedagogy, and research experiences for undergraduate students. He also serves as the Faculty Director of the Envision Maker Studio and co-directs Engineers for Exploration (E4E), a program in which undergraduates tackle real-world engineering design challenges in exploration and conservation, and create technologies in collaboration with ecologists, archaeologists and other scientists. He received his undergraduate degree in electrical engineering from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium) and his Ph.D. from the University of California, Los Angeles.
本次工作坊將介紹「翻轉教室」的核心理念，探討如何透過重新規劃課堂時間，將學生從被動聽講轉變為主動參與，以提升學習成效。參與者將一同探討導入翻轉教室的原因與實踐方式，並交流如何循序漸進地將相關教學策略融入課程。
寇特・舒爾格斯（Curt Schurgers）博士現任美國加州大學聖地牙哥分校（UC San Diego）電氣與電腦工程學系教學教授，專長包括大學部課程設計、主動學習、翻轉教室、工程教育及大學生研究經驗培育。他亦擔任 Envision Maker Studio 的主任，並共同主持 Engineers for Exploration（E4E）計畫，帶領大學生參與探索與保育領域的真實工程設計挑戰，並與生態學家、考古學家及其他領域的科學家合作開發相關技術。
