Session 2｜SMALL Moves, Stronger EMI
Time: Monday, November 16, 12:00–13:30
Drawing on the speaker's hands-on EMI experience, this talk offers a ready-to-use toolkit built around the four "SMALL moves" strategies: Scaffolding, Motivation, Active Learning, and Languaging. Through classroom examples and interactive practice, it will help you build an EMI classroom that is clearer, more engaging, and more meaningful for students.

Session 3｜From Text to Connection: Making EMI Reading Active
Time: Monday, November 30, 12:00–14:00
This workshop draws on authentic teaching materials from the course "Bilingual Media Communication." Using interactive strategies such as Think–Pair–Share, the Frayer Model, and Gallery Walk, supported by sentence-frame scaffolding, participants will experience and refine EMI lesson design first-hand, and learn the key to balancing "teachers' teaching focus vs. students' learning lifelines."
