【EMI Talk 講座】英文授課、全球人才發展與高等教育： 台灣的大學優勢、策略與組織重整 (講者：致理科技大學 陳超明 講座教授) EMI, Global Talent Development, and Higher Education: Strengths, Strategies, and Organizational Restructuring for Taiwan’s Universities (Speaker: Professor Chao-ming Chen)

On November 22, 2024, from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM, the College hosted a special lecture titled “EMI, Global Talent Development, and Higher Education: Strengths, Strategies, and Organizational Restructuring for Taiwan’s Universities” in Room Z1308, with Professor Chao-Ming Chen as the keynote speaker. The event was attended by our President Hui-Ling Chuang, Vice President Chu-Hsiung Lin, and Vice President Chi-Yen Shen of I-Shou University, underscoring the importance of the lecture.

During his presentation, Professor Chen emphasized the profound impact of AI on language education, highlighting the need for substantial reform in traditional teaching methods. He questioned the current overemphasis on linguistic precision, arguing that communication skills should be prioritized as the primary goal of language learning. He proposed integrating more practical and creative elements into curriculum design, such as establishing courses—or even programs—focused on performing skills in the humanities. These courses would allow students to develop interdisciplinary skills through task-based discussions and performances. Additionally, Professor Chen advocated for streamlining course structures by reducing unnecessary credit requirements and introducing concentration courses that encourage students to allocate more time to independent learning and practical experiences, better preparing them for the dynamic demands of future workplaces.

Following the lecture, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM, Professor Chen engaged in a focused discussion with the heads of the Department of Translation, the LDDC, the College’s academic advisors, and the Dean in Room Z506. He offered specific recommendations on higher education curriculum planning. These included incorporating Situational Intelligence and project management courses to enhance students’ decision-making and adaptability in diverse contexts. He also supported the idea of allowing students to take other foreign languages to substitute for university English credits, thereby broadening their linguistic depth and cultural understanding. For professional courses, Professor Chen suggested integrating at least one certification or license as an assessment standard to ensure a stronger connection between academic training and career development. Furthermore, he underscored the importance of industry collaboration, recommending that each class include at least one corporate mentor-led seminar per semester to provide students with practical insights into industry practices.

Professor Chen’s insights not only offered innovative directions for curriculum design but also provided valuable guidance for course organization and student career development. His contributions have injected new energy and inspiration into advancing diversified education for the future.

113年11月22日中午12時至下午2時，國際學院於Z1308舉辦了「英文授課、全球人才發展與高等教育：台灣的大學優勢、策略與組織重整」專題講座，特邀陳超明教授擔任主講。當日，莊慧玲校長、林楚雄副校長以及義守大學沈季燕副校長均出席與會，顯示對本此演講的看重。 陳教授在講座中強調，人工智慧（AI）的快速發展正深刻影響語言教育，傳統語言教學模式需進行重大調整。他質疑當前語言教育過度強調語言的精準性，忽視了溝通能力才是語言學習的核心目標。他建議在課程設計上融入更多實用性和創意元素，例如設置人文表演學習課程(甚至學系)，透過任務討論與展演，幫助學生培養跨領域的綜合能力。此外，他提倡課程精簡化，減少不必要的學分要求，並引入重點選修課程（Concentration Courses），讓學生能將更多時間用於自主學習與實務練習，以應對未來多變的職場需求。 在講座結束後，下午2時至4時，陳教授與翻譯系主任、英外診中心主任、學院學術顧問及學院院長於Z506進行交流，針對高等教育的課程規劃提出具體建議。他建議加入情境智商（Situational Intelligence）與專題管理課程，以培養學生在多元情境中的判斷與應變能力。同時，他支持學生修習其他外語以抵免大學英文學分，藉此拓展語言學習的深度與廣度。在專業課程方面，陳教授提出應結合至少一項認證或執照作為學習成果的衡量標準，確保課程能夠真正銜接職場需求。此外，他強調校企合作的重要性，建議每學期安排企業導師提供至少一場講座，為學生提供實務經驗，幫助他們更好地了解業界運作。 陳教授的分享不僅提供了創新的課程設計方向，也為學院課程組織與學生職涯發展提供了重要參考，為未來多元化教育的推進注入了新的活力與啟示。
