Taiwanese and French primary school students share their lives via video
Liren Elementary School teacher Lu Yishen, whose lesson plan won the first place in the national group of the competition, used morning, lunch and flexible classes to let third-grade students practice English through oral assessment and reading tasks. He guided the students to practice self-introduction with an online robot, and then video-conferenced with French elementary school students who were 9,000 kilometers away to ask each other about their campus routines, lunches and festival life.
Students from Liren Elementary School also used the platform to watch introductory English videos on Jiufen Old Street and learn to form sentences. They also used AI writing tutors and grammar debugging tools to check their English. They then sent handwritten postcards and culture boxes containing Taiwanese snacks such as pineapple cakes, rice crackers, and science noodles to France. When the French students also sent back local snacks, the Taiwanese and French students discussed the taste in English through video chat.
Xie Zhenglun, a teacher at the Advanced Industrial Vocational School Affiliated to Changhua Normal University, led electrical science students to think about "Does art need to be explained?"

Finally, they conducted an English debate without reading the verbatim draft. This lesson plan won third place in the technical group.
Ye Xincun, head of the National Education Bureau of the Ministry of Education, said yesterday that the platform's AI provides real-time feedback to help students practice English repeatedly, and also allows teachers to adjust teaching materials according to their level.
