突破技專校院學生英語學習不利三大困境：以國立高雄科技大學為例

Breaking the Three Predicaments of Students’English Learning: Using NKUST as an Example

自2018年2月1日起，高雄應用科技大學、高雄海洋科技大學、高雄第一科技大學三校合併，成立國立高雄科技大學。合校後即掌握趨勢脈動，深信「雙語大學，是政策、是趨勢，更是必然」，率先於2020年11月04日訂定2028雙語大學計畫目標願景。由於三校學生來源近九成為高職畢業生，合校之初各校區英語能力差距頗大，為有效突破技職生經濟文化不利、英語必修學分較少、重專業而非基礎學科等英語學習不利的三大困境，縮小能力差距且提升學生實用與專業英語能力，特別從行政面之改革與教學面之輔導措施與挹注相關資源為例說明。首先統一全校英語畢業門檻，規劃英語創新課程、提供豐富英語自學資源、辦理各項英語創意競賽活動，並透過逐年系統化蒐集相關數據資料、進行統計分析，全方位了解五校區學生英語學習狀況，分析結果顯示，這些措施不僅營造優質英語學習環境、更大幅提升學生英語學習成效，為邁向2028雙語大學之目標跨出成功的第一步。

Since February 1, 2018, National Kaohsiung University of Applied Sciences (KUAS), National Kaohsiung Marine University (NKMU), and National Kaohsiung First University of Science and Technology (NKFUST) have merged to form the National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology (NKUST). After the merge, we are convinced that“a bilingual university is a policy, a trend, a must.”We are also the first national university to set a vision for the 2028 Bilingual University Project on November 4th, 2020. Since nearly 90% of the students from the three universities are from vocational high schools, the English proficiency gap is quite large due to the lack of English learning hours and resources. To effectively narrow the gap and improve students' practical and professional English proficiency, we first standardize the entire school’s English graduation threshold while offering innovative English courses, providing rich English self-learning resources, and holding various creative English competitions. By systematically collecting relevant data and conducting statistical analysis year by year, we can better understand the English learning status of students among the five campuses in a comprehensive manner. Moreover, the data analysis shows that the measures implemented so far create a quality English learning environment and significantly improve students' English learning outcomes. The first step toward the goal of a bilingual university in 2028 has proved quite successful.
