114-2 Empowering EMI TAs: A Collaborative Workshop by Our Center and NTU's Specialized Teaching Teams
為厚植EMI的教學輔助量能，雙語中心日前特別邀請國立台灣大學寫作教學中心（AWEC）以及國立台灣大學EMI教學資源中心專業團隊蒞校，辦理本學期第二場「EMI TA培訓工作坊」。
本次培訓課程分為兩大核心，首波為「60分鐘實體體驗教學」，深入淺出地解說 EMI 課堂中 TA 必備的慣用語法，並針對課堂中可能遭遇的挑戰提出具體的應對策略，讓參與學員快速建立專業語感。第二階段則進入分流主題課程「討論可以這樣帶」，專注於課堂討論的帶領技巧，透過實務拆解與演練，傳授如何開啟對話並維持討論熱度。
參與學員對本次培訓給予高度評價。一名學員回饋表示：「課程非常有趣且內容深刻（I truly enjoyed the session and found it very insightful），學到的技巧能立即應用於後續的教學實踐中。」透過生動的實作教學，原本生硬的語法與策略變得淺顯易懂，顯著降低了學員在引導課堂時的焦慮感。
本中心未來將持續與國內外頂尖教學團隊合作，定期舉辦多元化的教學研習課程，為校內生力軍提供豐沛的雙語教學資源，進一步落實本校推動雙語教育的長遠規劃。
To strengthen the auxiliary teaching capacity for English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI), the Bilingual Education Center recently invited a combined team from both the Academic Writing Education Center (AWEC) and the EMI Teaching and Learning Center at National Taiwan University to conduct a practical training workshop for EMI Teaching Assistants (TAs).
This workshop was specially designed by the professional AWEC team and consisted of two core stages. The first stage featured a "60-minute In-person Immersive Session," which explained essential classroom idioms and expressions for TAs and provided specific coping strategies for common challenges in EMI settings. The second stage, a specialized thematic course titled "Leading Discussions Like a Pro," focused on facilitation techniques through practical analysis and drills, teaching TAs how to initiate and sustain meaningful classroom dialogue.
Participants spoke highly of the training. One student shared in their feedback: "I truly enjoyed the session and found it very insightful," while others described the workshop as "engaging and fun." Through lively hands-on instruction, once-daunting language structures and strategies became accessible, significantly reducing students' anxiety about leading bilingual discussions.
Moving forward, the Center will continue to collaborate with top-tier teaching teams domestically and internationally. We are committed to hosting diverse pedagogical workshops and providing abundant bilingual resources for our students and faculty, further realizing the long-term vision of bilingual education on campus.
