Purpose

The fields of professional English teaching are different. Traditional classrooms are mainly based on EAP (English for Academic Purposes, Academic English) or EGP (English for General Purposes, General English). The teaching methods are often too standardized and the scenes are too monotonous to make students go to the classroom. Therefore, the learning content cannot be used in life immediately. The introduction of the practical-oriented teaching of ESP has had an impact with both teachers and students, and the challenges are greater. Both parties have strengthened the sensitivity and appropriateness of language use. The establishment of the new teaching field of the Language Center is part of the school’s future English intensive plan for the whole school. Its purpose is to train students’ practical language skills for future employment. The applicable courses can be: Business English, Catering English, Presentation English, News English, Sightseeing English, Reception English, Social English... etc. It is an appropriate language learning field that can support the establishment of special courses in various departments.

Benefit

With the trend of declining birthrate in the coming future, it is estimated that the student source of the school in the next five years will be affected. The new teaching field built by the Language Center is the school’s English teaching equipment to develop new space, and the construction of the real field allows students to experience it. The students in the ESP course will be in real situation. The task-oriented Language learning under the task-based curriculum will allow students to have confidence in learning the language and adapt to the language response in the real environment. This will enable students to have a sense of trust and self-confidence in the school's equipment, teaching methods, and courses, and, therefore, enhance language motivation and interest in learning. At the same time, the Language Center holds about 18 large-scale English examinations a year, which are aimed at high school students and above in Miaoli. The examination equipment in NUU is certified and is a professional English examination venue in Miaoli. The new teaching area is located next to the examination venue and can be used for open visits or as a parent’s lounge. Its novel equipment and interiors can enhance the professionalism of the Language Center for students and parents, and greatly help the school’s professional image.
