Keynote Speech and Abstract

Language Teaching in a New Era

語言教學所面臨的時代變化

Comprehensive Understanding of Differentiated Learning Teaching Methods

Due to COVID-19, these past two years have undoubtedly been transformational in education. Teaching methods in particular have had to adapt and go through tremendous modification to accommodate such change. Effective use of differentiated learning in curriculum design has therefore become increasingly crucial in the design of International dual language teaching. Specifically emphasizing the increased utilization of technology to aid teaching and the continuation of dual language multicultural teaching, which incorporates global issues into the curriculum as important themes when teaching Chinese.

This workshop will introduce incorporating differentiation into learning in class, curriculum design, teaching strategies, and material selection, to help educators adapt to a constantly evolving era of teaching.

2022年是一個至為關鍵的重要時期，在疫情之下，全世界的教學模式發生巨大的變化之外，學習科技的運用、雙語多元化元素的持續增加以及全球化議題融入課程等，都是當前國際華語教學必須重視的議題，有效運用區分式教學進行課程設計也是未來國際雙語課程設計的重要關鍵。

有鑑於此，本工作坊將介紹在語言課程中善用區分式進行教學，將在課程設計、策略運用、教材選項等區分方式及原則詳細介紹，讓教與學更加有效率並提升教師教學的能量。
