In response to Taiwan’s bilingual policy and the demand for bilingual teachers, domestic teacher training institutions have implemented bilingual teacher training courses to meet the trend. This study aims to explore the teaching practice and effectiveness of integrating English-interface information technology (IT) into bilingual music teacher training courses. Based upon action research, this study incorporates both music-related and non-music-related IT into an 18-week course that covers music knowledge, music performance, music appreciation, music composition, and bilingual music lesson planning. The participants are 50 preservice teachers enrolled in the bilingual music course. Research tools include a survey on the learning needs of preservice teachers, pre- and post-tests of music ability, an evaluation scale for the integration of IT into bilingual music lesson planning, and teaching observation records. The research results indicate that during the three stages of the course—“Collaboration and Foundation,”“Integration and Expansion,”and“Application and Evaluation”—IT is to be variously incorporated into the curriculum, which shows the great potentiality of IT as a useful tool for instruction. In terms of the effectiveness of the course, IT significantly enhances preservice teachers’bilingual music competencies and their ability to design bilingual music lessons. Moreover, preservice teachers are positive about their individual learning achievements. Under the English interface, non-music-related IT can be more easily incorporated into the course, while music-related IT requires additional guidance and demonstrations to facilitate preservice teachers’application in their teaching. |
