III. Course Design
One of the aims of international education is to cultivate global citizenship, which includes understanding a country's place and characteristics in the world, thereby helping build self-esteem and confidence in one’s nation and culture. In addition, this goal also emphasizes strengthening international mobility through the development of foreign language skills, critical thinking and 3 inquiry abilities, the ability to gather and apply technological information, and cross-cultural communication.
Please make use of the first article as an inspiration to design a 18-week project-based English course that fosters students' global citizenship, with a focus on speaking and listening skills. The goal of the course is to help students improve their English language skills while deepening their understanding of Taiwanese cultural practices (e.g., placing “Kuai Kuai” snacks on machines, traditional rituals such as “soul-calling” or setting off firecrackers, seasonal health foods, etc.). Students will generate their own topic related to Taiwanese cultural practices and present them in English.
