"Utilizing AI as a Teaching Assistant in EMI Courses"

The faculty community "International Affairs, AI, and EMI Synergy," jointly organized by the College of International Culture, Education, and Foreign Affairs and the Department of International Affairs (DIA), held a sharing session on March 25, 2025, in Room Z406. The event featured Professor Daniel Lin from the DIA at Wenzao Ursuline University of Languages, who delivered a talk titled "Utilizing AI as a Teaching Assistant in EMI Courses." The discussion focused on leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance teaching effectiveness in English-Medium Instruction (EMI) courses.

Professor Lin highlighted the challenges that traditional teaching methods face in the digital era and emphasized that AI can significantly improve teaching efficiency. He introduced two practical AI tools—ChatGPT and Gamma—and categorized their applications into three main areas: exam question generation, preliminary grading, and the creation of PowerPoint presentations and lecture materials.

Regarding exam question generation, Professor Lin stressed the importance of understanding Bloom's taxonomy, question type distribution, and grading proportions. These elements should be incorporated into ChatGPT prompts to ensure the generated questions are diverse and meaningful. For exam grading, particularly in essay questions, teachers can set evaluation criteria in ChatGPT, such as evidence use, organizational logic, and alignment with assignment requirements, to assist in the initial assessment of student responses. However, Professor Lin emphasized that teachers must review and refine AI-generated feedback to ensure its accuracy and personalization. Additionally, for creating PowerPoint presentations and lecture materials, he suggested using ChatGPT to analyze course materials and generate outlines, which can then be transferred to Gamma to produce visually appealing and modern presentations.

During the session, Professor Lin demonstrated how well-structured ChatGPT prompts enable AI to interpret instructions precisely and deliver the desired results for educators. He also reminded attendees of the importance of removing students' personal information before uploading exam responses to AI tools to safeguard data privacy. The participating faculty members actively engaged in discussions, sharing their experiences with AI in teaching and exploring ways to integrate AI technology into Wenzao's educational framework. The event underscored the potential of AI to drive teaching innovation, diversify instructional methods, and enhance course quality in the digital age.

　　由國際文教與涉外事務學院與國際事務系共同舉辦的教師社群「International Affairs, AI, and EMI Synergy」，於2025年3月25日在Z406舉行分享會，特別邀請文藻外語大學國際事務系林建宏教授，以「Utilizing AI as a Teaching Assistant in EMI Courses」為題，探討如何運用人工智慧（AI）提升英語授課（EMI）課程的教學成效。

　　林建宏教授指出，傳統教學方式在E世代面臨諸多挑戰，而AI的應用能夠有效提升教學效能。他介紹了兩項實用的AI工具——ChatGPT與Gamma，並將其歸納為三大主要應用：考題製作、初步批改考卷，以及製作PPT與演講資料。

　　在考題製作方面，教師應先理解Bloom分類法、考題類型比例與配分原則，並將這些要素納入ChatGPT的指令設計中，以確保生成的試題既多元又具意義。針對考卷批改，特別是問答題部分，教師可透過ChatGPT設定評分標準，例如論證證據、邏輯組織與與課堂要求的契合度等，作為初步評估學生答案的依據。林教授強調，教師仍需逐一審閱並調整AI提供的回饋，以確保評語的個人化與精確性。此外，在製作PPT與演講資料時，可先利用ChatGPT閱讀講授教材、產出大綱，接著將內容轉錄至Gamma，以製作出現代感十足的PPT。

　　分享會中，林教授現場演示如何設計ChatGPT指令，使AI能夠精準理解需求並產出符合教師期待的結果。他也提醒，在使用AI進行考卷初步批改時，應先移除學生個人資料，以確保個資安全。與會教師積極提問並分享自身對AI應用於教學的經驗，期待藉由AI技術推動文藻的教學創新，發展更多元的教學方法，並提升課程品質，以迎接數位時代的挑戰。(12/5)
