[英文摘要] :
Along with the rapid development of the information technology, changes in any parts of the world could affect life around us. In order to prepare for the challenges in the upcoming era, the Ministry of Education in Taiwan has proposed “A White Paper on International Education for Primary and Secondary schools” in 2012. The international education in primary and secondary school has four aims: 1. Nation Identity. It is to let students know the culture of Taiwan, its historical status and position in the world. 2. International Awareness. Through learning the language, culture and global issues, students will be able to respect and appreciate different cultures and learn the skill and knowledge of cross-cultural communication. 3. Global competence. Primary and secondary schools should encourage students to participate in international and cultural exchange programs in order to stimulate their abilities in observing and reflecting the cross culture differences. 4. Global responsibilities. International education should stressed on embrace and respect people、region and culture from different part of the world. In addition, it should focus on global morality and responsibility and the value of world peace.
With these four aims in mind, the researcher of the present study cooperated with a middle school in Southern Taiwan to design a five-day English Summer Camp in July 2017 for seventh graders who were going to Korea for a one-week academic exchange program. A questionnaire was administered to 28 targeted participants regarding their perceptions and basic concepts toward environmental protection, caring for others, Taiwanese performance arts, technology and gender issues in February 2017. Lessons were designed based on students’ response.
In order to raise students’ awareness to the topics selected and to provide students more opportunities to use English to express their ideas, lessons were designed to use leading questions and discussions to provoke students’ critical thinking ability and create more meaningful conversations throughout the process.
