111年第2學期-8652 大二英文：多元文化 課程資訊

教育目標

課程透過「設計思考」的理念－以人為本、從需求出發、運用創意解決難題，讓學生思考如何「設計」一個更美好的世界。同時，課程將探討與多元文化主義相關的開放式主題，鼓勵學生對不同觀點持開放的態度，並了解世界的文化多樣性。因此，學生將學會從不同的角度思考，並有意義地參與各種社會議題。 This course opens students’ eyes to the exciting possibilities of “designing” a better world with the concept of Design Thinking - an iterative process focused on human-centered design, specifically empathy and understanding of the target users. Open-ended topics related to multiculturalism encourage students to be open to different perspectives and recognize the cultural diversity in the world. Therefore, students can learn to think from different perspectives and engage meaningfully with society.

課程概述

「大二英文」是一個以學習者為中心的模組化課程。針對學生個人學習興趣及相關系所之專業需求，開設四大模組課程，分別為「職涯與專業」、「日常溝通」、「多元文化」以及「自我表達技巧」。四大模組分別由具有共同核心目標但涵蓋不同主題之課程所建構而成。所有的課程均以學期為單位，學生根據個別興趣及需求，必須於上、下學期選擇兩門不同的模組課程。本課程將以25人小班制進行互動式教學，結合討論、展演及實作等各類學習活動，讓學生能在更多元、自主的學習語境中，具體強化其英語文溝通能力。 本課程屬於「多元文化」模組，因應全球化時代的來臨與多元語境融入英語學習的新趨勢，引導學生在學習英文的過程中，體驗不同文化現象，培養多元視角之世界觀，進而完備其成為世界公民之基本素養。 The SENM program is a student-centered module-based program which offers students choices and small, interactive classes. The program encourages students to tailor their English learning to their specific needs and interests by offering four semester-based modules: Career and Profession, Daily Communication, Multiculturalism, and Self-Expression Skills. Additionally, within each of the four modules, there are different themes, or topics, around which each course‘s curriculum is built. Each SENM student must choose two different module courses in one academic year according to their interests and needs. The program’s small class size (no more than 25 students) means that a variety of class activities such as discussions, role plays, and presentations are an integral part of the program. This specific course belongs to the Multiculturalism Module. This module provides students with opportunities to experience different cultural phenomena. It helps students to cultivate multiple global perspectives and to prepare them to be global citizens. Course Objectives: On completion of the course, students should be able to 1) provide real-life examples of social and cultural diversity; 2) demonstrate their multicultural awareness and appreciation; 3) use idiomatic expressions acquired in the course; and 4) express their opinions on diversity issues more confidently.
