課程大綱	本課程的目標是讓學生藉由閱讀英文的時事報導來擴大全球視野，並培養英文聽說讀寫的溝通能力。希望學生在參與討論的過程中，對當今國際議題背景有完善的了解，並能思考有正面效益之改善之道。因為課堂時間的限制（每週兩小時)，課程內容將著重於(1)時事文章與影片的閱讀與討論，(2)學生對(篩選過的)國際議題報導的分析報告，藉以達到上述之目的。 This course aims to engage students in understanding current issues and events taking place in the world that are redefining our global reality and restructuring the world order. A greater goal of such studies of global issues and activities is to urge students to participate in the dialogues and actions to change and to make better of the world. The course content centers on reading, discussing and debating on selected reports and news to uphold all that matters for the aforementioned pursuits.
