語言中的故事：YT影片中的文化元素 這門課程鼓勵學生以英文為主要語言，觀賞、分析並討論各式各樣YouTube影片中的文化元素。在探索的過程中，學生也將學到如何利用現今垂手可得的網路資源挖掘更多的知識「礦物」並藉此體會創作者們訴說故事的本意，進而提升觀看影片時所獲得的樂趣。透過學習語言與文化的關聯性，學生同時也能藉由了解其文化加深並加廣目標語言的學習。 Words of a Tale: Cultures of YouTube Videos In this course, students are encouraged to use English as the main language option to look for and break down cultural elements in various genres of YouTube videos. While exploring, students will also be encouraged to take advantage of modern technology and online resources to “mine” additional knowledge, helping them “see” the creator’s intention of the storytelling, and in the meantime, finding extra enjoyment after watching a YouTube video. Being aware of the connection/relation between language and culture, students will learn more about the importance and impact of culture on language acquisition.

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，學生可以根據個別興趣及需求，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 can choose two different module courses in one academic year according to their needs and interests. 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.
