四、建議
此次研討場地為愛知縣勞動產業研究中心,類似一辦公大樓,雖無開闊的戶外空間,
但因各研論室密集分布於上下幾層樓中,移動與轉換場地十分便利,會場即時訊息 的公布亦能快速傳達予參與人員,或可為未來國內大型研討會之參考。
五、攜回資料名稱及內容 研討會大會手冊一本 六、其他

During the vetting process, our reading committee members are encouraged
presentations each reader needs to work with, it is just not possible to give advice or comments for everyone. Where the readers have left
comments, they are below. We hope you find these useful in planning your presentation, or in making future submissions.
At this point, there are three more things we need you to do:
1. Confirm your presentation. Go to <http://jalt.org/2010/confirm.php?
p=1576> and follow the instructions. This lets us know you have received and read this message and that you still intend to present at JALT2010.
The deadline is August 1 to confirm your intention to present. As we have a long waiting list to present this year, presenters who do not confirm by the August 1 deadline will have their presentations cancelled and their spot given to someone else.
2. Pre-register for the conference by Friday, October 1. Refer to the Conference Preview in the July/August issue of The Language Teacher, or register online at <https://jalt.org/joining>.
Note that as contact person for your presentation, it is your responsibility to ensure that all co-presenters also pre-register, and that all the necessary AV equipment is ordered and paid for. Presenters who do not pre-register by the October 1 deadline will have their presentations cancelled.
3. You are invited to post your presentation abstract on JALT Forums
<http://forums.jalt.org/index.php/board,55.0.html>, where visitors can read and comment on your abstract. This is a great way to generate interest in your presentation and engage others in dialogue on the topic. An explanation of JALT Forums is available at <http://
forums.jalt.org/index.php/topic,626.0.html>.
Finally, thank you for taking the time to participate in our annual
conference, and we look forward to working with you to make JALT2010 a successful event! See you in Nagoya
Kind regards, Suzanne Bonn
JALT2010 Program Chair

投影片 3 On Teacher/Teaching Creativity
2010/11/20 3
Teaching as an art vs. science
“…The quality of this interaction is influenced by teachers' decisions, their timing, their choice of tasks, even the use of their voices. When all this happens, when everything flows, …teaching ceases to be an action and becomes art” (Pugliese, 2005)
Combinational creativity – to produce new ideas by associating or combining old ideas in unfamiliar ways
Exploratory creativity – learning rules and then exploring what the rules allow one to do
Transformational creativity – altering, adapting or breaking conceptual rules
2010/11/20 1. Involve the solution of a problem
2. Result in an end product
PBL – common characteristics
1. Relatively long term
2. Teacher role as advisory, not authoritarian 3. Authenticity and contextualization 4. Open-ended, allowing variation 5. More learner control
6. Opportunities for modification and revision (Adderley et al., 1975; Blumenfeld et al., 1991; Helle, Tynjälä, &
Olkinuora, 2006; Johari & Bradshaw, 2008)
投影片 5 On the Effectiveness of PBL
2010/11/20 5
Not much serious positive evidence
Consistent effect of cooperative learning from a meta-analysis (Springer et al., 1999)
No conclusion on PBL, teacher interpretation and pedagogy intervenes (Turnbull, 1999)
Best on satisfaction, but knowledge/skill ? (medical)
Needs satisfaction, only for highly self-determined students
Perceived skills learned and metacognition, null
On enjoyment and value, ¾ groups significant decreases
投影片 6 On the Effectiveness of PBL
2010/11/20 6
Conditional on…
Student involvement in curriculum decisions (Turnbull, 1999)
Student embark on projects with intrinsic or more autonomous forms of motivation (Liu et al., 2009)
Cooperation, quality of group process but not group heterogeneity; high/low achievers can both achieve (Cheng et al., 2008)
Properly trained tutor to provide instruction in problem-solving (Norman & Schmidt, 2000)
2010/11/20
Student self-initiated topics, related to life on campus
Prospective and newly arrived international students are usually informed officially only.
How can we, as local students who can communicate with them, help them get to know the campus and surroundings better?
Current Form of the Project and the Product
To become future global citizens, we need to look beyond Taiwan and be aware of and understand environmental and cultural differences. In order to do that, we also need to be able to search, collect, synthesize information and report effectively.
-> A Comparison between Taiwan and another country on one specific issue
Input: web search + international student informants
Output: A group presentation to be videotaped

Advantages of old topics: student familiarity with content, easy access to information, confidence
Disadvantages: unidirectional, more surface-level concerns, not much research needed, lack of opportunity for critical thinking, lack of an international perspective, topic similarity and exhaustion
Solutions: adding a comparison component, trying to be more specific, creating needs for learning new things through reading/listening/speaking, giving opportunity for critical thinking and cultural comparison
