How a 120-year rural school learns to speak the world

一所百年偏鄉小校,怎麼讓 370 個孩子用英文對著世界開口?

Sijhou doesn't run a "double immersion" English programme. What we have is a resident foreign teacher, a working sister-school partnership with Trinidad Union School (California, USA), the four-pillar L.I.F.E. curriculum, and two MCC-produced video libraries shared across all 89 partner schools. Each piece is small. Stacked together, they make a quiet but real bilingual life on campus. 溪州不做「全英沉浸」,溪州做的是外師駐校 × 美國姊妹校 × L.I.F.E. 四大支柱 × 兩條人師共用影片庫。每一塊單看都不大,疊在一起,就是一個安靜但真實的雙語日常。

English in Action

四個讓孩子真實使用英文的場景
🌐
Trinidad Union Sister-School Programme
美國加州 Trinidad Union School 姊妹校 · 真實雙語場景
Across the Pacific, our partner school in Trinidad, California shares a year with us — emails, video calls, joint reading, and the co-created bilingual picture book "The Sheep and the Dragon." When a Sijhou child writes a paragraph, it has a real reader on the other side.
與美國加州 Trinidad Union School 姊妹校的合作——電郵、視訊、共讀,以及共製雙語繪本《羊與龍的生活》。當溪州孩子寫下一段話,太平洋的另一邊真的有人會讀。

Teacher Thulie's Conversation Class
外師 Teacher Thulie · 駐校英語對話課程
Our resident foreign teacher, Teacher Thulie, runs Sijhou's everyday English conversation classes — and maintains her own teaching website with PowerPoint lessons, worksheets, games, and a campus-tour photo gallery for our children to revisit between class days. The goal isn't vocabulary count; it's the courage to open your mouth.
駐校外師 Teacher Thulie 老師帶領溪州孩子上日常英語對話課程,並有個人教學網站——上頭有 PowerPoint 教材、學習單、遊戲與校園導覽相簿,讓孩子在課後複習。重點不是背更多單字,是讓孩子敢開口

📞
St. Mary's School, the Philippines
與菲律賓 St. Mary's School 線上共識會議
Regular video meetings with St. Mary's School (Philippines) — Filipino childhood games, SDGs themed lessons, and the long quiet work of letting two classrooms recognise each other across a screen.
菲律賓 St. Mary's School 定期線上交流——菲律賓童年遊戲、SDGs 議題課程、以及兩個班級隔著螢幕慢慢認識彼此的安靜功夫。
📖
LIFE Reading & Storyteller Tradition
LIFE 閱讀領航 · 小小說書人 · 校本閱讀軸線
Sijhou is a 2015 MOE National Reading Foundation Award school. Every term, our students take the "Little Storytellers" contest as a real audience checkpoint — and our homegrown bilingual picture books (The Sheep and the Dragon, The Forest from the Light of the Sheep, 123 Wooden Bird) come back to the library shelf for next year.
溪州是 2015 年教育部全國閱讀磐石績優學校。每學期「小小說書人」比賽是孩子真實的觀眾驗收,而自家三本雙語繪本(《羊與龍的生活》、《羊光森林》、《123 木頭鳥》)會回到圖書館書架上,給明年的孩子。
"In Sijhou, bilingual isn't a programme — it's a habit."
「在溪州,雙語不是一個方案,是一個習慣。」

Classroom English

課室英語 · 給老師的口袋句庫

A practical video library of the everyday English a Taiwanese teacher actually uses in the classroom — greetings & roll call, pre-class prep, instructions, praise & correction, classroom management, lesson activities, homework, wrap-up, exam directions. Each video isolates one situation so the phrases stick on first hearing. 這個影片教材庫涵蓋臺灣老師每天會用到的課堂英語,每支影片只處理一個情境,第一次聽就能記住。由 My Culture Connect 人師教育協會製作,89 所合作校共用。
