屏東縣私立南榮國中國際交流教育成果
南榮國中丘麗英老師06/15/09
屏東縣私立南榮國中於民國55年創校，籌建篳路藍縷。自民國72年，施行九年一貫課程改革，以強化國際視野與國際化教育為重要議題，即致力於國際文化交流不遺餘力，其中交流對象包括日本、新加坡、馬來西亞、紐西蘭、澳洲等國家。
因應趨勢之下，屏東縣教育處秉持部會推展國際化宗旨，努力建構國中小國際觀及增益國際化之作為，推出「系統化」、「專業化」、「績效化」之策略。在這理念中，南榮國中師生戮力合作，加強中小學師生參與國際教育交流活動，因此98年獲得教育部青睞獲選為全國ICT (International Conference on Technology) 十大典範學校。
二十一世紀是資訊業蓬勃發展的時代，我們企盼師生能運用資訊網路跨越地域與時空的限制，應用所學，以英語為主要溝通工具，與臺灣以外的國家之學生進行分享學習與交流。茲敘述本校實際措施如下：
一、教師方面：
提昇教師教學品質，鼓勵校內老師在職進修，修習國內外研究所課程。實施教師分組英語知能研習，研習中將校內教師協同英語村外籍教師，給予各組適當英語訓練課程。
另為延伸觸角，曾有日本青森縣官員若松女士、加拿大國際交流處處長Hugh McKeown、紐西蘭Kati Kati校長Peter、美國培基主任George蒞臨南榮國中，進行意見訪談，本校積極地培養教師及同學們帶著走的能力、不斷地充實自己專業能力外的英語語文能力，可見一斑。
二、學生方面：
帶領學生進入不同的學習領域、接觸不同文化，例如日本、德國、澳洲 (Caloundra Christian College)、新加坡坤成女中、培風中學、紐西蘭(Hillcrest)等來校訪問。
目前已締結三所姐妹校：日本九州豐國學園、東京國際學園、以及長野縣櫻花高校。我們正努力地將遊學組織化，並更有效地運作，希望未來能在美國、紐西蘭、加拿大、英國等締結姐妹校，進而交換學生，促使我們更具優勢來面對未來環境的挑戰。
民國97年，學校募款700餘萬元，籌設南台灣首座全方位專業英語村，目前共有八位外籍教師，至今服務6千餘位師生，提供校內師生及南台灣學生一個虛擬的全英文環境，頗獲佳評。
三、科技應用：
當新興技術發展時，我們不自滿於過時的設備，努力將舊資訊系統汰舊換新，因此曾於94年成為教育部機會數位中心（DOC），亦是行政院研考會所評選全國第一名的資訊代理人，下一個工作目標：將結合資策會的經驗與專業（雲端試算），來改善與交流國家之視訊裝置，並且運用英語了解世界脈動。
四、國際藝文團體蒞校演出活動：
本校曾邀請日本鬼太鼓、廣島馬林巴樂團、埼玉榮等知名團體蒞臨演出。是使得校園國際化工作能見度大大提高。
教學的方法與資訊科技是推陳出新的，我們不斷尋求創新、具有教學效能的方法來提昇教學內涵。我們也意識到將面臨許多困難與挑戰。但，我們希望也能在競爭異常激烈的新時代裡，激發熱情與動力，並為屏東縣推展國際交流事務中注入一股全新能量。



The Commemoration of International Communication Program in Nan-Jung Junior High School in Ping Tung By Iris Chiu 06/15/09

Nan-Jung Junior High School was founded in 1966. Over the past thirty years the school has gone through many developmental changes and has made much progress. We started our international communication program in 1982, and by 2009 we had received one of the top ten modeling schools in ICT (International Conference on Technology) from the Ministry of Education in Taiwan.

We continually encourage our schoolteachers and students to attend training courses either in Taiwan or foreign countries, and also upgrade our teaching equipment towards the most cutting-edge technology in education. The following reflects what we have done.

1. Teachers' part
We encourage teachers to attend on-the-job training. We also applaud teachers for their post graduate study in Taiwan, America and England. In addition, we extended our academia to connect with Hugh McKeown (Canadian Executive Director), Peter (Principal of Kaiti Kaiti College in New Zealand) and George (Dean of Institute in Basic Life Principals in U.S.A.)

2. Students’ part
For the students’ experience, we have led them into different countries such as Germany, Japan and Australia for even more features and benefits exclusively available to them as a dynamic learner. Our goal is to establish a relationship with sister schools in America, New Zealand, Canada and the United Kingdom in the near future. Furthermore, we officially built a professional English Village in 2008 to provide student and teachers with an opportunity to experience real-life experiences from America. We are delighted to see more than 6,000 students from all over southern Taiwan enjoy the English Village throughout the 2008-2009 semesters.


3. The employment of latest technology
We consistently upgrade our computer systems when the technology is of use to us; we’re never satisfied with outdated tools. The next improvement on our agenda will have us cooperate with the Institute for Information Industry. The aim is to upgrade our communication system and allow more people to use English to communicate with others, therefore increasing our eyesight of the world.

4. Three famous groups visited our school
Three famous groups visited our school
(1) Onidaiko performed in our school in 2005.
(2) The students of Hiroshima Junior High School played percussion music in 2009.
(3) Students and teachers of Saitama Senior High School visited us on May 1st, 2009. With their performance on our campus, we hope to catch people’s attention in the international communication program throughout the country.

The progression of learning and teaching at Nan Jung Junior High is unprecedented. We are looking for better teaching methods for our schoolteachers and students. We know we will face more challenges than before; however, we believe we can confidently foster enthusiasm and drive in order to bring a new energy to our organization in an ever competitive new era for Pingtung County.
