In addition to activities suggested by the textbook (Top Notch 3), SENM also incorporates discussions, exhibitions, competitions, and show-and-tell’s to enhance students’ ability to understand, accept, and respect other cultures. 「大二英文」為「大一英文」之延伸。本課程將以25人小班制進行多元文化語境之英語教學，實踐以學習者為中心之教學理念，透過各種強調溝通之課室活動設計，引導學生有效提升其英文表達能力。 本課程所規劃之六大核心主題包括：(1) 跨文化意識及認知建構；(2) 文學賞析及評論；(3) 天然災害與國際合作；(4) 擁抱多元文化及族群差異；(5) 公民意識與社會責任；(6) 環境意識與國際公民。 除了透過主要教材Top Notch 3呈現相關內容外，本課程亦會結合討論、展演、競賽及實作等方式，強化學生探討各項議題所需之英文溝通能力，同時引導學生理解、接納並尊重異文化。期待學生能在多元文化之學習語境中，拓展視野、擁抱世界。
