科技及商業英文(一)

臺北科技大學 115-1 學期課程，課號 366315。

課程大綱

本課程教授科技及商業領域知識以及實務應用。修習本課程之學生，將習得中級至中高級英語素養以及科技與商務溝通基本知識。課程內容包含: 基礎科技及商業概念、重點時事科技及商業議題、基本科技及商業字彙，和廣泛科技及商業實務用語。 本課程屬專業英文（ESP）課程，級別為中級。課堂教材、講義與投影片全數為英文；授課教師課堂英語使用比例達 80% 以上，遇重要規定或學生理解困難時輔以中文說明。 課程主題循一條主軸推進：先探討人工智慧對創作與職場的衝擊，再轉入設計與商業決策的關係，最後收束於無障礙與通用設計。三個階段共同回答一個問題——設計決定了誰被納入、誰被排除。本班學生來自工業設計、建築、文化事業發展與互動設計四系，選材因此環繞設計實務共同面對的議題：人工智慧對創作工作的衝擊、視覺語彙的運作方式、設計如何被商業目標驅動、以及空間與介面對使用者的排除效果。各篇文章分別貼近不同科系的專業關切，同時要求學生跨出本科視角評估他人立場。 課程設有三次工作坊作為學習鷹架。第二週的搭配詞工作坊建立字彙擴充方法，供後續各週閱讀與寫作使用；第九週的求職工作坊與第十三週的英文履歷工作坊，則為第十六週繳交的英文履歷與第十七週的個別晤談做準備。 第五週與第十二週為整合課。學生在前數週分篇閱讀後，於此二週比對各篇文章之間的關係——立場的分歧、論據的重疊、同一議題在不同脈絡下的轉向——並藉此練習跨文本的歸納與評述。整合課同時導入該階段的播客素材，以聽力任務銜接已讀過的文章，使讀、聽、說、寫四項技能在同一組議題上整合運用。 閱讀材料由教師改寫自科技與商業領域之時事文章，依 CEFR B1 至 B2 程度調整長度與句構；改寫版供課堂精讀使用，原文連結另行提供，供學生對照閱讀，以接觸未經處理的真實語料。課程另使用教育部 Cool English 線上學習平台，以及教師自製之互動閱讀網站 Active Reading Adventure，供課堂閱讀活動與課後練習使用。 本課程亦包含求職英語應用，於學期後段指導學生撰寫英文履歷並完成個別修改。課堂閱讀與討論以配對及小組進行，口說評量則為個人任務，形式依單元需要而定，涵蓋摘述、提案與立場陳述等專業場合常見的口語類型。 寫作任務採兩層回饋。學生完成課堂初稿後，先以教師自製之 AI 訂正工具檢視拼字、文法與用語，該工具之作用限於標示問題所在與說明錯誤類型，實際修改由學生自行判斷並執行；教師回饋則集中於論點是否成立、論據是否支撐主張、段落安排是否服務論述。學生繳交修訂稿時須一併附上初稿，以呈現修改歷程。 學生於本課程所培養之全英語聽讀與課堂互動能力，可支援其未來修讀全英語授課（EMI）專業科目所需之語言基礎。教學與評量使用生成式 AI 及線上互動系統等數位工具。學生得使用生成式 AI 蒐集構想、查詢用語與檢查文法，惟課堂書寫任務須於課堂內獨立完成，不得以 AI 生成內容取代個人初稿或修訂稿。 This course teaches knowledge and practical applications in the fields of technology and business. Students taking this course will acquire intermediate to upper-intermediate English proficiency and basic knowledge of technology and business communication. The course content includes: fundamental technology and business concepts, key current technology and business issues, basic technology and business vocabulary, and a wide range of practical technology and business terminology. This is an ESP course at the intermediate level. All materials, handouts, and slides are in English, and the instructor uses English for at least 80% of class time, switching to Chinese only for important course regulations or when comprehension breaks down. The topics follow a single line of development. The course begins with the effects of artificial intelligence on creative work and the workplace, moves to the relationship between design and business decisions, and closes with accessibility and universal design. All three stages address one question: how design determines who is included and who is left out. Students in this class come from industrial design, architecture, cultural industries, and interaction design, so the readings take up the questions design practice holds in common: what artificial intelligence does to creative work, how visual language operates, how commercial goals shape design decisions, and how spaces and interfaces exclude the people who use them. Each text speaks closely to one discipline's concerns while asking students to assess positions from outside their own. Three workshops provide the scaffolding. The co

評量方式

Grading rubric: English Proficiency Test (20%) English CV (10%) Writing (10%) Speaking (10%) Quizzes (15%) In-Class Activities (20%) Participation (15%) 寫作與口說任務依同一套五向度四等級評分尺規評分。寫作向度為內容與任務、組織與連貫、語言運用、文類適切、修改與發展；口說向度為內容與任務、組織與連貫、語言運用、發表與流暢、互動與回應。English CV 於第十六週繳交，並於第十七週個別晤談後修改。Writing 項目包含兩次課堂寫作任務，各佔 5%，均於課堂內獨立完成；課前得使用生成式 AI 蒐集構想與擬定大綱，惟課堂初稿須自行撰寫。兩次任務均須繳交修訂稿並附上初稿，「修改與發展」向度依初稿與修訂稿之差異評分。Speaking 項目包含三次個人口說任務，合計 10%，形式依單元需要而定，涵蓋摘述、提案與立場陳述等類型，任務要求與評分重點於各單元開始時公布。Quizzes 涵蓋各單元字彙與閱讀內容。In-Class Activities 包含各週課堂學習單、整合課之聽力任務與課堂活動，其中第十七週學習訪談問卷及第十八週課程學習單各佔學期總成績 2%。 Writing and speaking tasks are assessed with a shared rubric of five dimensions across four levels. For writing, the dimensions are content and task, organization and coherence, language use, genre appropriacy, and revision and development. For speaking, they are content and task, organization and coherence, language use, delivery and fluency, and interaction and response. The English CV is submitted in Week 16 and revised after the individual conference in Week 17. The Writing component consists of two in-class writing tasks, each worth 5%, both completed independently during class; students may use generative AI beforehand to gather ideas and outline, but the in-class draft must be their own. Both tasks are resubmitted as revisions accompanied by the original draft, and the revision and development dimension is scored on the difference between the two. The Speaking component consists of three individual speaking tasks worth 10% in total. Their form varies with the unit and includes summarizing, pitching, and arguing a position; the requirements and assessment focus of each task are announced at the start of the unit. Quizzes cover the vocabulary and reading content of each unit. In-Class Activities cover the weekly worksheets, the listening tasks in the integration sessions, and classroom activities, including the Week 17 interview questionnaire and the Week 18 worksheet, each worth 2% of the final grade.
