【記者鍾子靖淡水校園報導】教發中心10月26日舉辦全英語課程觀課交流，邀請財金系助理教授張瑄凌開放「財務風險控管」課程，共10名教師參與。
張瑄凌主要以簡報向同學講述教學內容，文字使用不多，大多以圖表輔助讓同學容易理解，課程內容中大量專有名詞的運用，為了讓同學更明白使用方式，張瑄凌會先按簡報上的定義唸過一次，再引用貨幣金融及股票市場作為例子向同學解釋實際使用的場景。
為了抓住學生的注意力，張瑄凌在簡報使用以外，也善用iClass作為跟同學互動的方式，她會在每一段的課程講解後，開放iClass問答題測試，除了讓學生多思考課程內容，老師也可從學生答對與否來掌握他們對於課程內容的理解程度。
參與觀課的國際事務副校長王高成表示，英語對於財金系來說十分重要，對於教師本身的英語能力要求則會更高，「張老師做了很多課程上的準備，不論是簡報內容還是使用iClass互動都可以看出用心，是全英語教育的良好示範。」
(By Zi- Jing Zhong, Tamkang Campus) On October 26, TKU's Center for Teacher Professional Development held an EMI course observation and opinion exchange session, where Assistant Professor Hsuan-Ling Chang of the Department of Banking and Finance was invited to open up her class for
observation. Ten faculty members attended this session.
Assistant Professor Chang mainly used powerpoint presentation to talk to student about the teaching content. She did not use too many words, but rather diagrams and charts to make it easier for students to understand. The course incorporate application of a large volume of specialized terminologies, and for students to better understand the use of these terms, Ass. Prof.Chang would read out their definitions as provided in the powerpoint, and then use examples using currencies, finance, or the stock market to illustrate actual situation where these terms will be used.
In order to grab the students’ attention, Ass. Prof. Chang was also well versed in the use of iClass to interact with students in additions to the powerpoints. After each explanatory section, she would open up a iClass quiz, which not only give students more chance to think about the course content, but also allows her to get a grasp of how well the students have understood the content taught to them.
Professor Kao-cheng Wang, the Vice President for International Affairs, who attended the observation, indicated that English is incredibly important to the Department of Banking and Finance, so the demand on the lecturer’s English ability would naturally be even higher. “Assistant Professor Chang did a lot of prep for her course, which can be seen in both the content of her powerpoint presentation and the iClass interactions, and so she is a good example for EMI education.”
