The International Education in G.R.E.S.
As we are now in a “flat” world, everyone is involved in the global tide, leaving us to face more and more threats. So do our students. Facing this ever-changing and uncertain world, it is more difficult for children to compete and cooperate, because the challenges do come from every corner on the earth. Students nowadays require stronger and more complete abilities, and this is why the international education is important. According to the Ministry of Education of Taiwan, the major objectives of international education in elementary schools are national recognition, international knowledge, global coopetition and worldwide responsibility, not only emphasizing the visions on foreign countries, but also on every aspects of Taiwan by comparing to others. As for the teaching methods, the main is to combine the international elements into courses and teaching, which is accompanied by international communication, teacher training and school internationalization.
In G.R.E.S., we have implemented every method mentioned above to response to the objectives provided by the Ministry of Education. Currently in GRES, the combination of international elements into class and all kinds of courses has been executed for many semesters, like western festival experiences. Also, the hardware has been continuously upgraded to support, like bilingual signs and English reading corners. In addition to basic courses and hardware, GRES has been dedicated to creating opportunities of direct communication for students.
