ALLS has been cooperating with Chung Yuan Elementary School since 2001. The project title is “ALLS & CYES English Teaching Cooperation Project.” The target students are first to fourth grade students in CYES. It’s a great opportunity for ALLS students to gain teaching experience in teaching children English. ALLS students can learn how to select and evaluate teaching materials and how to think creatively in planning teaching strategies. Moreover, ALLS students can apply the teaching theories which they studied in class to teaching English at CYES.    

    The English Teaching Contest, which is organized by ALLS and CYES , has been held since 2007. The contest includes prizes for English teaching, lesson plans, teaching materials and teaching activities. The purpose of the contest is to let ALLS students learn from their peers’ excellent teaching experiences and strengthen any areas where they are weak in teaching children English.

　　ALLS students will assist the community as volunteers, reading picture books in public libraries, hospitals, schools, minority groups and so on. Because children’s English abilities are deeply influenced by the M-shaped society in Taiwan, ALLS students hope the book-reading activity can improve children’s motivation to learn English.

　　ALLS teachers had their students do long distance teaching in order to assist students in remote areas learning English. In addition, ALLS students designed online teaching materials and online interaction platforms, and taught students one-on-one online according to students’ individual differences. Then, ALLS students shared their teaching cases with their teachers after class then modified their lesson plans.

On June 27,2012, Chung Yuan Christian University and Yo Der Bilingual Academy signed an agreement to work together to accomplish their shared goal of holistic education and to carry out teaching practicum.

Yo Der Bilingual Academy was the first private bilingual elementary school in Zhongli and in 2012, expanded their system to include Junior High. One of the school’s goals is to offer a bilingual curriculum and then cultivate students’ international worldview; this matches the goals of CYCU’s ALLS department.

Dr. Hui Ju Lin, a professor who teaches multilingual education and language development in the ALLS department, lead ALLS students to Yo Der Bilingual Academy observe classes in different grades and subjects. ALLS students could observe how the bilingual classes were taught and verify those academic theories they had learned in the multilingual education and language development classes. Also, it was a great opportunity for ALLS students to experience domestic bilingual education.
