Taiwanese high schools launch bilingual future math classroom with AI integration

Two leading Taiwanese high schools, Fengshan Senior High School and Hsinchu Science Park Experimental High School, have joined forces to create an innovative bilingual future math classroom. This pioneering program facilitates cross-campus, remote learning where students integrate artificial intelligence, bilingual education, and mathematics, aiming to bolster their competitiveness in technology and the global arena.

Over the past year, I have been responsible for the remote classroom equipment setup and operation, learning many information equipment integration skills, which has greatly improved my digital abilities. This is a learning experience that general courses rarely offer.

The curriculum, centered around advanced high school mathematics, is taught entirely in English. It leverages AI technology and diverse digital tools to cultivate a unique learning model that blends mathematical thinking, language proficiency, and digital literacy. Students prepare for lessons using online platforms for self-study and utilize iPads and Apple Pencils during class for real-time mathematical derivations and problem-solving explanations, all delivered in English.

At the beginning, I was not used to using English for math and felt very nervous and stressed. I didn't understand much of the content, but after a full year of training, I can now naturally think about math in English and explain the problem-solving process in English. I am grateful for the teachers' patient guidance and companionship.

Student feedback highlights the program's success in developing essential skills. Xu Zhenyao, responsible for the technical setup, noted a significant improvement in his digital capabilities through integrating information equipment, an experience rarely offered in conventional courses. Chen Yiai shared her initial struggles with English-based math but expressed gratitude for the teachers' guidance, enabling her to naturally think and explain mathematical concepts in English after a year of training.

Education should not only be the transmission of knowledge but also the cultivation of students' abilities to face the future. Through cross-campus remote teaching, students break through the limitations of time and space and establish interdisciplinary thinking and international vision in integrated learning of bilingualism, AI, mathematics, and digital technology, possessing the key competitiveness to meet future challenges.

Guo Jiarong, a teacher at Fengshan High School, emphasized that education should extend beyond knowledge transmission to cultivating future-ready abilities. This cross-campus remote teaching model transcends geographical and temporal limitations, enabling students to develop interdisciplinary thinking and a global perspective through integrated learning in bilingualism, AI, mathematics, and digital technology. Fengshan High School Principal Wu Xiaochang added that the course is crucial for nurturing core competencies, requiring students to simultaneously apply mathematical knowledge, English communication skills, digital tools, and AI applications, thereby showcasing their interdisciplinary integration capabilities.

This is not just a math class, but a course that cultivates the core abilities of future talents. Students must simultaneously use mathematical knowledge, English communication skills, digital tools, and AI application skills to demonstrate interdisciplinary integration capabilities.
