(10%)  If you’re reading this, then congratulations, because you are studying English! You have made noteworthy progress to reach this level, too! However, you might think that English is not as important as your native language and might wonder why we study English. First of all, English is an immensely popular language worldwide. According to a piece of research on English users conducted in 2018, there are 378 million native speakers and 743 million non-native speakers in the world. Indeed, non-native English speakers are twice as numerous as native speakers! Second, English is important, considering it’s an official language of 59 different countries and serves as the most prominent language of business communication, technological society, and the Internet. In short, people who study English not only enhance their job prospects but also have a passport to the world of music, cinema, television, news, and much more. Perhaps a better question then is: Why NOT study English? Like other languages, English has an extensive and fascinating history. The English we speak and use today originated from West Germanic languages. Back in the 5th century A.D., three Germanic tribes, the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes, sailed across the North Sea from continental Europe looking for new lands to conquer. What these aggressive tribes did was invade Britain, and then they forced the inhabitants there to move west and north. Over time, their influence made their Germanic dialects become dominant, and what we recognize as Old English began to emerge. The evolution of English has thus far taken place over the course of more than 1,400 years, and it can be divided into four periods: Old English, Middle English, Modern English, and Late Modern English. Old English existed from around 450 to 1100. While it was vastly different from the language we use presently, some words like “drink,” “food,” and “strong” have managed to survive. Next, Middle English, which lasted from around 1100 to 1500, corresponded with the influence of the conquering Normans who invaded England from France in 1066. Whoever spoke French during this period was thought to be more civilized and have higher social status. Therefore, many French words related to art, law, and government were adapted for use, such as “painting,” “justice,” and “empire.” Modern English, which was used from about 1500 to 1800, borrowed in turn from Latin, giving us words like “concept,” “laboratory,” and “predict.” During this period, literacy increased and printing presses soon made books cheaper and more available. Since London had morepublishing houses than other locations, its dialect became the standard. Finally, Late Modern English has been in use since around 1800. It has been influenced in part by the Industrial Revolution, which required new words applicable to technological advancements. Furthermore, British colonization not only accelerated the spread of English around the globe but also led to the elaborate borrowing of many foreign words we use today like “koala” and “pajamas.” With so many speakers around the world, English continues to evolve. For instance, there are regional variations like New Zealand English, or Kiwinglish, named for the country’s national bird. Kiwinglish is influenced by the language of the Maori, New Zealand’s indigenous people. Words like kia ora, which means “hello,” and puku, which means “belly,” are borrowed from Maori. Singapore is even more diverse than New Zealand, and Singaporean English, or Singlish, mirrors the city-state’s multicultural population. Singlish borrows words from Malay, Chinese, and Hokkien. Thus, Singlish speakers often use lah and mah, both of which are particles attached to the end of the sentences, making it quite distinct from other types of English.        As you can see, English has evolved over time into the language we use today. The different types of English spoken and utilized around the world reflect the distinct cultures in which they have developed. However, there’s also the unifying nature of English that has made it the universal language of business, the academic world, and popular culture. In conclusion, English is both unique and common. So, keep studying it, and with English, you can interact and communicate with the world all the time. (三民版第五冊第五課)

IV. Syllabus Design: (40%) 1. According to the Curriculum Guidelines of 12-Year Basic Education taking effect in 2019, senior high schools are to offer diverse elective courses (多元選修課程) for 12th graders. If you are to offer a two-credit course of this kind, what will your course be? Please design a 18-week elective course for 12th graders for the autumn semester (from Sep. to January) and draft the syllabus for your class. Your syllabus needs to include: (1) Course name; (2) Course description (i.e., a brief introduction of the course); (3) Course objectives; (4) Weekly course content (including teaching content, brief description of classroom activities and quizzes); (5) Assessments; (6) Criteria for scoring. (Note that you are writing a syllabus, not a detailed lesson plan.) (20%)

IV、Teaching Activity Design（共20分） In recent years, students have increasingly relied on social media platforms (such as Threads andInstagram) to access and share information. However, when reposting, modifying, or sharing content, manystudents overlook important issues such as copyright, information credibility, and media ethics, indicatinga need to strengthen their media literacy. Design a 50-minute activity for 10th-grade students that aims toenhance their media literacy. Your design may include topics such as digital copyright, evaluatinginformation credibility, or responsible use of social media. Your answer should include: ● detailed learning objectives ● teaching procedures (pre-task, while-task, and post-task), durations and their purposes ● the formative and summative assessments

In an era where AI can generate language instantly, has the value of language learning changed? From the perspectives of interpersonal interaction, emotional expression, and authentic communication, discuss how English teachers should redefine the goals of language teaching.

Paraphrase the provided passage and design a five-blank cloze test based on your paraphrased version. Please provide both the five questions (blanks) and their corresponding answers.   Pikas, often called "real-life Pikachus," are small mammals closely related to rabbits. Inhabiting high-altitude regions, they rely on their dense fur to survive freezing temperatures. Unlike hibernating animals,pikas stay active year-round, diligently gathering and drying plants during summer to ensure they haveenough food for the winter. However, their survival is now threatened by rising temperatures, as their thickcoats make them highly sensitive to heat. Additionally, human activities, such as poisoning campaigns incertain regions, further endanger their populations. Although pikas are not yet globally endangered, therapid disappearance of local groups serves as a warning that we must protect these delicate mountainecosystems before it’s too late.

(翻譯)2. 如果你不是個登山愛好者的話，我想與你分享一個十分重要的道理。任何事情在遠處看起來總是比較可怕。上山的路高聳入雲，由下往上看，路太陡、太滑、太危險，感覺那真是高不可攀。有些路看起來如此令人懼怕，以致於你可能連試也不想試，就想回頭。很久以前我就學會了應對之道。不要緊盯著前方，擔心前方的危險。那只是在浪費時間，對解決問題毫無助益。替代的是，你應該專心對付腳下小區域，一步一步向前走。有趣的是，當你達到艱險之處的時候，這些地方並不是想像中的那麼難。

(翻譯)1. 長期以來，許多人認為科技是中立的，使用者應對自己的行為負責。事實上，平台的設計可能會深刻影響使用者的行為。像是無限滑動、自動播放以及頻繁的通知等設計，容易讓人上癮，並對心理健康造成負面影響。專家認為，僅僅禁止使用社群媒體並不足以解決問題，政府應重新思考如何規範這些平台，並確保企業對其設計決策負責。

Essay: Managing Anonymous Dissent      You recently assigned a complex writing project to your students. A few days later, you discover an anonymous post on a popular student social media forum criticizing the assignment as "burdensome" and "pointless," a sentiment that has gained significant support from other students. As their teacher, how would you address this situation professionally and pedagogically? Please write an essay to discuss your immediate response, communication strategy with the class, and reflective process regarding your instructional design.

2. Instructions:      Based on the following reading text about two museums, design a set of hybrid reading comprehension questions that incorporate multiple formats (e.g., multiple choice and short-answer items) for EFL high school students at the CEFR B2-C1 level. The test should include three parts: Part 1: Summary and Contextual Words • Write a short passage of no more than 80 words that conveys the same meaning as the original text. • Select two words from your passage and remove them to create two blanks. • The two words must appear in the original reading text. • This requires students to: locate two base words in the original text, change word forms appropriately, and fill the blanks so that the passage is grammatically and logically correct. * Provide your answers to the blanks.  Part 2: Phrasal Identification or Contextual Phrase Retrieval • Target a specific phrase in the original text. • Design one short-answer question beginning with "Which [grammatical phrase type or word count]...?" • The question requires students to identify or interpret a phrase based on context. * Provide your answer to the question. Part 3: Reading Comprehension Questions • Design two multiple-choice questions, with options from (A) to (D).  • Each must include 1 correct answer and 3 effective distractors. * Mark the correct answer to each question clearly. [Reading Text]       Throughout history, grand architecture has served as a symbol of national identity and power. Two of the most significant examples are the Louvre in Paris and the Palace Museum in Beijing. Both have undergone a remarkable transformation from exclusive royal residences into massive public museums. Today, these palace museums serve as essential gateways to understanding the art and cultural heritage of their respective nations.
