In the era of globalization, sustainable development has become an important topic. Taiwan has set this as one of our fundamental values and is implementing the“Curriculum Guidelines of 12-Year Basic Education”and bilingual education policies to train more capable individuals in terms of problem-solving skills and language proficiency. However, with the implementation of the bilingual teaching mode, students have to work on both language and subject learning simultaneously. Consequently, some learners who are not fluent in the language may feel frustrated due to language difficulties, which eventually results in a reduction of learning motivation and a decrease in learning achievement. In addition, the Ministry of Education has not approved bilingual textbooks, and bilingual teaching materials have quite small quantities on the book market. Teachers have to create their own resources, which has become a difficult task in the learning process. Numerous studies have indicated that digital game-based learning significantly enhances students' learning motivation and achievement and has been widely applied in the education field. In the past, due to inadequate equipment, it was challenging to implement in various subjects. In 2021, the Ministry of Education proposed the ''Enhancement Program for Digital Learning in Primary and Secondary Schools,'' providing corresponding equipment resources. Therefore, this study focuses on three fifth-grade students from Warmhearted Elementary School in Taipei City. The researcher integrates self-developed digital game-based learning materials into a bilingual environmental issues curriculum for one unit of instruction. The process of students using the digital game-based learning materials is observed, and through pre- and post-tests administered after the course, the achievement of integrating digital game-based learning into the curriculum is assessed. Additionally, semi-structured interviews are conducted to understand the learners' learning experiences and perspectives. Through this research, insights are gained into how digital game-based learning can be applied to bilingual environmental issues curriculum to enhance students' learning motivation and achievement. |
