國立政治大學英語教學資源中心近期舉辦了一場 EMI（English as a Medium of Instruction）觀議課活動，由財務管理系邱健嘉助理教授主講，課程主題為「投資學 Investment」。課程全程以英語進行，內容聚焦於投資學的基本理論與實務操作，涵蓋證券市場、資產定價模型及投資策略等核心概念，並結合程式實作，讓來自不同科系的學生在英語環境中同步發展專業知識與技術能力。

活動特別邀請三位具備豐富 EMI 教學經驗的專家共同參與，包括英語教師訓練專家暨 ETI 執行長 Steven Murray、英語教學資源中心主任鍾曉芳教授，以及臺北科技大學應用英文系林彥良教授。在課程開始前，邱老師向與會專家簡要說明本課的教學目標與進行方式，並強調希望學生在首堂課結束時，能掌握基礎的程式語言操作，為後續的投資分析課題打下良好基礎。

教學過程中，邱老師以流暢自然的英語引導學生進入投資學的核心概念，講授結束後立即安排實作練習，讓學生透過實際操作強化理解與應用。邱老師也積極走入學生之間，針對個別問題提供即時協助，展現出高度的教學投入與對學生學習狀況的敏銳掌握。

在隨後的議課環節中，三位專家針對課程設計與教學策略提出了具體回饋與建議。他們一致肯定邱老師具備良好的課程節奏掌握能力，與清晰的英語表達，能有效協助學生理解專業內容。林彥良教授建議在教學過程中加入更多過渡語句，以幫助學生更順暢地銜接不同教學階段，並可考慮將課程切分為短講與實作交錯進行，以減輕學生的認知負荷。Steven Murray 則指出小組活動的價值，認為同儕間的討論能有效提升學習成效，並建議教師可運用附加問句等技巧促進課堂互動、確認學生理解。鍾曉芳教授則肯定邱老師的教學熱忱與結構規劃，認為本堂課充分展現 EMI 教學的實踐潛力。

The NCCU EMI Resource Center recently hosted an EMI classroom observation and feedback activity, which featured Dr. Jian-Jia Chiou, Assistant Professor in the Department of Finance, NCCU. The observed course, titled Investment, was conducted entirely in English and introduced students to fundamental theories and practical applications in investment, including securities markets, asset pricing models, and investment strategies. The course also incorporated coding exercises, which enabled students from diverse academic backgrounds to build both technical and disciplinary competencies in an English-immersive environment.

To enhance the observation and professional exchange, three distinguished EMI experts were invited to attend: Mr. Steven Murray, CEO of English Total Immersion (ETI) and Course Director and Teacher Trainer for the Trinity CertPT program; Professor Siaw-Fong Chung, Director of the NCCU EMI Resource Center and Professor in the Department of English; and Professor Eric Yen-liang Lin, Chair and Professor in the Department of English at National Taipei University of Technology. Before the session began, Dr. Chiou provided the experts with an overview of the course objectives and instructional methods, emphasizing his goal for students to acquire basic coding skills by the end of the first class—laying a solid foundation for upcoming investment analysis topics.

During the lesson, Dr. Chiou fluently introduced key investment concepts in English and seamlessly transitioned into practical coding exercises. He actively engaged with students, offered on-the-spot guidance, and demonstrated strong awareness of their learning needs throughout the session.

In the post-observation feedback discussion, the expert panel commended Dr. Chiou for his well-paced instruction and clear English delivery, both of which facilitated students’ understanding of complex content. Professor Lin suggested incorporating more transitional phrases to help students follow the progression of the lesson and recommended alternating brief lectures with practice-based activities to ease cognitive load. Mr. Murray emphasized the value of peer collaboration and recommended using tag questions to promote classroom interaction and monitor comprehension. Professor Chung praised Dr. Chiou’s enthusiasm and thoughtful lesson structure, which highlighted the class as a strong example of EMI pedagogy in action.

This EMI classroom observation not only fostered professional exchange and reflection among educators but also showcased Dr. Jian-Jia Chiou’s commitment and expertise in English-medium instruction. The event provided valuable insights and further advanced EMI teaching practices at NCCU.

After the event, Steven Murray visited our center in person to continue in-depth discussions on potential future collaboration in the field of EMI education with Professor Siaw-Fong Chung. The conversation focused particularly on the Trinity College London-accredited CertPT (Certificate for Practising Teachers) program and the internationally renowned Oxford EMI training program. Both parties engaged in substantive dialogue on how these two internationally recognized professional development courses can support teachers in enhancing their EMI teaching skills, improving student learning outcomes, and raising overall teaching quality. They also shared valuable insights into course design and implementation, providing meaningful reference points for the center’s ongoing efforts to promote high-quality EMI education.
