工學院全英語授課教師社群活動(資工系)

活動主題：全英語教學之於專業領域影響與解決方針探討
主講人：知名美商品質分析師 羅幸婕
時 間：111年4月22日（星期五）中午12時10分至13時10分
地 點：淡水校園工學大樓E680室
主持人：吳孟倫 助理教授

本次邀請知名美商品質分析師羅幸婕老師進行專題演講。先討論本校有關全英語授課遇到的問題，會中分享以全英語培訓國際客服人員的經驗，會後進行問與答，並且進行總結，以彙整演講的內容。

活動中討論及外籍學生多接受全英授課，但本地學生英語程度不齊。我們應該先消除學生對於英語授課課程的恐懼，前期先以鼓勵的方式進行，中期提供資料讓學生預習課程內容，並適度監督本地生對於課程的接受狀況。我們並且可透過制度的設計，借力使力，例如將外籍生與本地生分為同一組，讓英文能力強弱不同者共同學習。

appropriate manner. One can also through the design of the system, such as putting foreign and local students into one group, to borrow and lean on the the strength of the former to allow students with varying English proficiency to learn together.
