How a rural school made English part of everyday life.
一所鄉村小學，如何把英語變成每天生活的一部分。
Under the leadership of Principal Zhou, Jhutang Elementary works hard to improve students' English. The school uses its bilingual website and a reward system to make learning English fun and exciting. Principal Zhou knows that students in rural areas have fewer resources than city students — so the website helps make English part of everyday school life.
在周校長帶領下，竹塘國小努力提升學生的英語能力，運用雙語網站與獎勵制度，讓學英語變得有趣。周校長明白偏鄉孩子資源較少，因此用網站讓英語走進每天的校園生活。
Ms. Ke, the Director of Academic Affairs, explains that the school prints out texts from the Word of the Day videos. Students visit the website to learn how to pronounce the key words and sentences, and earn points by reading them correctly, completing quizzes, or filming videos. Points can be exchanged for raffle tickets and prizes at the end of the semester. She also encourages students to read English articles during morning assemblies, building their confidence.
教務柯主任說，學校把每日一字影片的內容印出來，學生上網站學發音，唸對、完成測驗或拍影片就能累積點數，學期末可兌換摸彩券與獎品；她也鼓勵學生在朝會讀英文短文，培養自信。
Ms. Xie, a third-grade teacher, emphasizes collaboration between parents, teachers, and students — her class has excelled in the website program. Students say the website is really fun and helps them learn new words every day, especially expressions tied to their daily school life.
三年級謝老師強調親師生合作的重要，她的班級在網站學習計畫中表現亮眼。學生們說網站很好玩，每天都能學到新單字，尤其是和校園生活有關的英語。
Jhutang shows how using resources and working together can make learning enjoyable — students are not only improving their English, but also gaining confidence for the future.
竹塘國小證明了：善用資源、彼此合作，就能讓學習充滿樂趣——孩子們不只英語進步，更為未來累積了自信。
