This article demonstrates how a Japanese conversation course of a Taiwanese university can adopt the philosophy of 'Critical Content-Based Instruction (CCBI)' and cultivate students' awareness of complicated and unfair power dynamics in society. Under the theme of 'multicultural symbiosis,' the 3rd year conversation course dealt with various topics including foreign workers, foreign children's education, and racial discrimination. Through not only reading articles but also conducting interviews , role-play and research projects, the course aimed to make students 'notice,' 'reflect' and 'act on' the issues regarding social minority groups. As a result, the students, who did not recognize the existence of immigrants in Taiwan at the beginning of the semester, had become enable to consider the minorities' issues as if they were their own problems by the end of the semester. |
