民族國小與新加坡馬西岭小學進行互訪交流已經7年了,每次出訪行程都由校長和老師親自規劃並帶隊,內容安排緊湊,包括在馬西岭小學入班學習、深入走讀新加坡景點、品嘗當地美食佳餚、認識新加坡多種族文化等。學生在短短5天必須獨立自律、當責守規、團結互助,發揮團體移動力的最大效能,讓教學旅遊充滿精緻豐富,收穫加乘!
2020年全球發生嚴重肺炎疫情之後,我們不得不暫停實體的交流活動,直到疫情已漸趨緩,我們又重新與馬西岭小學啟動友誼交流,在11月11日邀請兩校透過連線遠距相見歡,師生約有70人在線上,以雙語分享過去交流心得、介紹在地的生活與文化,以及討論疫情下教學如何展開等議題,最後安排雙方學伴互相聯繫。民族的小學伴以英語小主播的方式精采報導,美好的開始為締結國際筆友立下良好的基礎,朝向世界地球村的理想邁出一大步!
Online exchange between Minzu Elementary School and Singapore’s Marsiling Elementary School
Minzu Elementary School and the Marsiling Elementary School in Singapore have corresponded through a pen pal program for the past seven years.Due to the impact of Covid-19, the two schools suspended exchange for 2 years.Fortunately, we have resumed pen pal correspondence again.Students from the two schools, acting as little news anchors, introduced their culture, cuisine, and how they are learning during the epidemic to peers from the other school.This was a big step forward in our goal of helping to foster a global village.
