H204 Visits Japan’s Chiba Prefectural Funabashi High School and Strengthens Ties
Since 2013, Japan’s Chiba Prefectural Funabashi High School has been a welcome guest at NEHS. Students and teachers from the SSH (Super Science High School) annually share their scientific research and results with our school, who continually strives to establish greater connections with SSH. This winter, NEHS students visited the Chiba Prefectural Funabashi High School for the first time. Led by Dean Pao and Mr. Hong Ying Hao, juniors from the Mathematics Advanced Class visited Japan from January 19th to the 25th. This exchange significantly strengthened the relationship between NEHS and SSH as both schools look forward to cementing ties with more exchanges to come.

Visiting Jian-Guo High School Library, Titled the “Most beautiful High School library in Taiwan”
Possessing the class and aesthetics of one of those trending coffee shops, the Taipei Jian-Guo High School library holds the title of the “Most beautiful High School library in Taiwan.” The director of the school's library, Mr. Wen Shi Hao, established the library renovation project in 2017, and through such created a library he had always envisioned for his students — a room with both open and personal areas, fit for both reading and studying, either with friends or alone. The NEHS faculty visited the Jian-Guo High School Library earlier this January in the hopes of being able to develop a similar environment for the students of NEHS. They hope that renovating our school’s library will create enough, and suitable, space for students of all ages to study in.

NEHS Elementary Department’s Breakthrough: Incorporating CLIL into Social Studies Class
As a response to the government’s endeavor to turn Taiwan into a bilingual country and its corresponding policies of promoting bilingual education, NEHS takes the first step to incorporate English into its teachings of main subjects. NEHS elementary department and National Tsing Hua University Department of English Education’s dean, Ms. Chiou-Hui Chou, have a long collaborating relationship. After much discussions, they have decided to practice Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) in grade three’s social studies class. Every Wednesday’s social studies class will be taught by both social studies teachers and pre-service teachers from NTHU Department of English Education. Social studies teachers from NEHS will teach the first two periods, and the pre-service teachers from NTHU will teach the third period, assisted by the social studies teachers. Through this experience of CLIL practice, the school hopes to bring bilingual education to NEHS and help the students improve their English.

Bilingual Department Hosts an English Learning Winter Camp
This past winter, Ms. Joyce Wu and Ms. Grace Lin from the bilingual department led a total of 20 students from the Student Teaching English Program (STEP) to host an English learning winter camp in Yilan from January 19th to January 25th. Other than the most fundamental English classes, the students were also exposed to education through artificial intelligence and various technologically-advanced activities. This integration of more modern activities within the classroom seemed to be a hit with both the students and teachers, resulting in a very memorable STEP winter trip.
