October 5, 2026
As higher education institutions in Taiwan actively promote the "Transnational Higher Education EMI (English as a Medium of Instruction) Initiative," assisting discipline-specific faculty members in balancing subject-matter expertise with effective English instruction has become a key element in higher education transformation. 隨著臺灣大專校院積極推動EMI高等教育，協助專業領域教師兼顧學科專業與英語教學成效，已成為高等教育轉型的關鍵要素。 本計畫旨在深化臺美高等教育合作，由「美國 EMI 大學聯盟」推薦頂尖領域學者，透過「線上學習講座」與「實體論壇研討會」的混合培訓模式，引進國際最新 EMI 教學實務、課堂互動策略與跨學科課程設計經驗，全面提升臺灣大專校院教師之全英語教學量能。

Description:
In this workshop, instructors will explore simple ways to make their classes more interactive and student-centered. We will look at how to use formative assessments to check student understanding in real time, and why students often stay silent when asked, "Does anyone have any questions?" Participants will learn four principles for creating welcoming "entry points" where students can engage: asking focused questions, modeling answers, building questions into lecture slides, and varying response types. Participants will then hear from instructors at Taiwanese universities about how they apply these principles in their own classes, and how working with a Fulbright Taiwan EMI advisor helped them brainstorm and put interactive teaching strategies into practice.
