【社群活動】 3M 的EMI 分享 A 3M Sharing of EMI

     Dr. Spencer Lee (李為堯) of Kaohsiung Medical University shared his experiences in teaching Shakespeare in English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) on October 4th at noon, both with faculty members within and outside the university. Dr. Lee candidly admitted that his classes included students ranging from a fifth-grade English test level to a high-level fifteenth-grade, with the majority of them hailing from medical programs. Discussing Shakespeare with such a diverse group of students presented its challenges.

     Dr. Lee's presentation can be categorized under the "3M" framework, where the first "M" stands for "Medical." He began by introducing the concept of the seven stages of life in healthcare, using it as an introduction. He emphasized the incorporation of medical terminology into various activities and assignments, such as integrating medical jargons into letters written to Juliet.

     The second "M" represents "modernized." To bridge the gap between Shakespeare and 21st-century students, Dr. Lee modernized his curriculum. For instance, during the presentation of "tomorrow, tomorrow, and tomorrow" from Macbeth, he used a cartoon video version featuring characters from The Simpsons—making it funnier and more modernized.

     The final "M" signifies "multimodal." In his presentation, Dr. Lee utilized a wide range of audiovisual tools, including recordings and videos of students, making it an exemplary demonstration of multimodal EMI teaching.

After the presentation, Dr. Elena from the English department expressed her astonishment at the innovative approach to teaching literature and believed it would be beneficial in planning her own linguistics courses.

來自高雄醫學大學的Dr. Spencer Lee (李為堯) 在十月四日中午分享了他在以英語作為授課媒介（EMI）時教授莎士比亞的經驗，受到校內外教職員的廣泛關注。李博士坦率地承認，他的課堂上有從五年級英語測試水平到高級第十五級的學生，其中大多數來自醫學專業。與如此多樣化的學生討論莎士比亞帶來了種種挑戰。

李博士的演講可以歸納為“3M”框架，第一個“M”代表“醫學”。他首先介紹了醫療領域中的七個生命階段概念，作為課程的一部分。他強調將醫學術語融入到各種活動和作業中，例如在寫給朱麗葉的信件中使用醫學術語。

第二個“M”代表“現代化”。為了拉近莎士比亞與二十一世紀學生之間的距離，李博士對課程進行了現代化改革。例如，在介紹《馬克白》中的“tomorrow, tomorrow, and tomorrow”時，他使用了一個由《辛普森一家》中的角色出演的卡通影片版本，使內容更加有趣和現代化。

最後的“M”象徵著“多模式”。在他的演講中，李博士利用了多種視聽工具，包括錄音和學生製作的視頻，展示了多模式EMI教學的示範。

演講結束後，英語系的Elena博士對李博士創新的教學方法表示贊賞。她認為這種方法可以啟發她自己的課程規劃，尤其是在語言學課程中。
