Why is it important?

The curriculum guidelines for 12-year basic education in Taiwan adopt the vision of developing talent in every student—nurture by core competencies to ensure him or her for daily life and for tackling future challenge. Infusing-issues inquiry can be offered as an alternative curriculum design to strengthen the integration of domain-specific courses and students’ knowledge application. Furthermore, followed with the policy of the “Blueprint for Developing Taiwan into a Bilingual Nation by 2030”, to focus on daily English use, including listening and speaking skills, one policy is that the learning domains or subjects with CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) in primary and secondary education should be designated.

Perspectives

This article is my self-reflection about the teaching. It is a trial-and-error experiment since that followed with the curriculum guidelines and flipped the traditional teaching method into outcome-directed teaching is not an easy thing. The development of digital technology changes our learning style nowadays rapidly. The mission that we teachers have to do is trying to guide what students may confront in the future. If it could become any point to support further studies, I would appreciate it.
