打破EMI迷思 Unveiling EMI: Dissolving Misconceptions and Addressing Challenges

On the delightful morning of March 4 (Monday), after enduring several days of continuous gloomy rain, the sun finally emerged! The Center for Teaching and Learning Development (CTLD), the NCCU EMI Resource Center, and the Bilingual Education and Multicultural Promotion Office (BMO) were privileged to welcome two EMI experts from National Taiwan University EMI Teaching and Learning Center (NTU EMI TLC). They graciously shared their experiences in implementing and planning their EMI project.

Professor Wan-Chen Lee offered an insightful introduction to the essence of EMI, encompassing its origins, definitions, and how NTU strengthens teacher capabilities through workshops like "EMI Plus." This initiative aims to empower teachers to enhance the effectiveness of their teaching. Additionally, NTU EMI TLC proactively fosters teacher communities and arranges sharing sessions, facilitating collaboration by connecting educators with potential partners.

Dr. Chao-Chi Lin provided an overview of the structured training for EMI TAs, which involves a combination of online courses and on-site practical exercises aimed at improving teaching abilities.. Additionally, the NTU EMI TLC organizes engaging competitions such as writing camp and 3MT (Three-Minute Thesis Competition) to enhance the EMI courses.

The shared insights today were truly fascinating! Let us support and accompany each other on this journey, growing and progressing together!
