Three-Minute Talk For Science English Short Speech Training Workshop for Teachers

Specialization

Language communication is fundamental to global sustainability initiatives. In order to help teachers understand the current international sustainable innovation and science communication policies, as well as development trends, and to incorporate them into the school's English speech courses, we are organizing an English Short Speech Instructor Training Workshop in alignment with the IYBSSD@TAIWAN response plan. Through exploratory and practical workshops, we will introduce practical guidance on English short speeches, enriching science education and humanities literacy. This aims to cultivate students' foundational innovative and extended thinking for future sustainability, and to promote teachers' guidance in enhancing students' investigative and practical skills, while fostering confidence, innovation, and communication abilities, thus moving towards international sustainable development in the future.

【Key Techniques for Rapid Mastery】Presentation skills, summarization skills, communication skills, promotion skills, and critical thinking skills—all five skills combined to turn your precious time into effective power. We welcome you to join us in inspiring sustainability power together.

Target Audience: In-service natural science teachers from senior high schools and junior high schools, as well as university educators with a background in science and engineering, are all welcome to participate.

Workshop Sessions: One session each in the northern, central, and southern regions, totaling three sessions. Each session accommodates 50 participants (no additional sessions will be added once full; if fewer than 10 participants are registered by the deadline, the organizer reserves the right to cancel the session). If early registration reaches capacity, the online registration system will be closed, and no further registrations will be accepted; the organizer has the right to review the participant list.
