MOOCs

"MOOCs" stands for "Massive Open Online Courses.”

To provide high school students with both simultaneous/ unsimultaneous learning experience and to help students have a control over their learning, Center for the Development of Language Teaching and Research/Department of Foreign Languages and Literature of Asia University (Taiwan) has developed these series of materials with video and free download texts.
Leaners can choose to start with the topics they like and move on while interacting with their learning partners online. All topics are theme-based with task-based activities embedded. The themes can be categorized into: 1. Holidays, 2. Global Issues, and 3. Food.
