"This paper presents an 8-week and 8-unit mandarin reading and writing course integrated with social topics, the purpose of which was to enhance the quality of university reading and writing courses and university students’humanity concern and social involvement in rural communities. University students were guided to learn about and understand“tribal book houses”by interacting with the children studying at tribal book houses. This study took place in 2 tribal book houses in Taitung, with 78 first-year university students from the mandarin reading and writing course and 17 children at the tribal book houses participating. Data were collected through observations, interviews, student reports on what they learned, and the use of a rubric. The results indicated that by integrating local rural topics, the reading and writing course effectively inspired students’affective motivation in caring about society and their ability to participate in actions. The students developed the ability to interview people and to write reports and the capability to plan projects and to communicate with people. Finally, they were able to implement an action project involving creative reading and writing for social participation. The results of this study confirmed the feasibility of incorporating social topics in reading and writing courses in inspiring students’social involvement. Challenges confronting this teaching model are described, and possible solutions are presented for reference." |
