課程概述

學習如何發掘問題、如何觀察社會生活現象、並如何運用批判思考技巧及創意找尋可能之解決方法。本堂課教你有趣、有力、有效的計畫書撰寫訣竅與成功口頭報告的重要元素,並在五分鐘內有效地表達訊息。 課程內容主要包含兩個重要部分:英文企劃書寫作與口頭報告。課程前半部將教導學生如何觀察生活周遭的疑難雜症,以創意發想解決問題,並透過小實驗檢測提案之成效,再將其過程及成果寫成企劃書;第二部分則訓練學生的簡報設計及英文口頭報告技巧,學生得以將探討主題之成果,在五分鐘內以淺顯易懂的語言,及團隊合作方式發表。Exploratory Writers on a 5-Minute Stage encourages you to observe social phenomena, discover problems, and seek possible solutions using creativity and critical thinking. This course helps you write interesting, powerful and effective proposals and give successful oral presentations. Most importantly, this course gives you a five-minute stage on which you effectively and efficiently show all the key information on your proposal. You may have Holmesian deduction, Shakespearian romance, or Picassonian chimera, but you have only five minutes—five minutes where you think out of box, turning a flight of fancy into a quartet of reality. This course consists of two main elements: proposal writing and oral presentation. In the first half of the course, students are taught how to observe real-life problems, creatively come up with solutions, evaluate solutions in small-scale experiments, and write their proposals accordingly. In the second half, students are trained in visual aid design and oral presentation skills, so that they can collaboratively present their proposals in a simple language under just five minutes.  

課程目標
『跳出傳統框架思考』已為社會近代思考方式之主流,學術圈與業界也期望其成員,得以創新與突破的想法解決難題。科學上之發展與突破主奠基於人類生活上的需求,故科學始終離不開人文,而五分鐘英語講台的課程核心概念便是由此出發。本課程旨在透過探查問題並有系統的分析,從而提出解決辦法,藉此鼓勵學生以創新的觀點審查生活周遭,且學會以科學的精神探究與分析周遭事物。Out-of-box thinking has become a predominant mode of thinking in modern society. Members in the academia and industry are expected to solve problems through innovative and ground-breaking ideas. Scientific developments and breakthroughs are based on human needs and science is hence inseparable from humanity. It is this interconnectedness that inspires this course. Exploratory Writers on a 5-Minute Stage aims to encourage students to examine their surroundings from innovative perspectives and scientifically study them by critically exploring and systematically analyzing problems so as to offer solutions. Exploratory Writers on a 5-Minute Stage aims to encourage students to observe, identify problems, seek possible problem-solving means, evaluate the efficacy of the measures, and present arguments in a scientific manner. To these ends, this course consists of two main elements: writing and oral presentation. In the first part of the course, a rhetorical approach to writing proposals is adopted, focusing on observing real-life problems, seeking/creating optimal solutions for a given audience and context, and conducting mini-experiments in a small scale. In addition to fostering students’ skills in proposal writing by collaboratively responding to a case, the course also provides trainings on oral presentation skills and visual aid design. Each team is required to deliver a 5-minute oral presentation on their mini-project.
