Brief
Introduction about AJET |
|
|
The
simple philosophy of AJET (Advanced Joint English Telecommunication)
appears to be to elevate the teaching of English in K-12 schools to a
higher dimension. AJET attempts to "bring to life" the practical use
of English as a communication medium.
As far as education is concerned, students will develop their:
**hardware--information management skills
**software--communicative skills in English
**liveware--critical
thinking skills and
awareness of love & concern for life |
|
The
Establishment of AJET |
|
|
AJET is directed by Dr. Chen Nian -shing of National Sun Yat-sen
Univ. It is sponsored by MOECC as well as Board of Education of
Kaohsiung.
AJET--officially
sponsored by MOEE--
has developed from one teacher challenging four students to use some
creative learning into a cooperative cohort of teachers and students
across a number of schools. It has involved teachers and students in
international exchanges to conferences and seminars all over the
world. |

AJET
Students |
|
|
Students are introduced to the Internet and encouraged to develop an
international perspective by communicating with students in other
countries. They use the tools of email, BBS, chat, web pages (text,
pictures, sound, video) and the medium of video conference. Students
are used to using many new media to present themselves.
Students realize the value of English proficiency as a means of
meeting other students on "common ground," while teachers applied IT
tools to teaching the content lessons. |

English
Teachers' Professional Development Cyber Community |
|
|
English teachers obtain good support of teaching platform and CALL
training, They design the teaching courses cooperatively, and create
the activities and content. This is the ideal teaching team for AJDS,
which is based on the research and development AJDS Study Circle
On-line (ASCO).
On
ASCO, teachers themselves do action research. They accumulate
first-hand action research data to improve their own teaching under
the natural teaching situation. Teachers primarily use qualitative
analysis to gather information systematically in a long term. |
