A place-based bilingual course built around a 200-year-old shrine on the school's doorstep. 一門以校門口一座兩百年家廟為核心的地方本位雙語課。
On Guangde Road, a few hundred metres from this school, stands the Wang Family Shrine — the ancestral hall of the admiral whose title gave our town its name. It is close enough that, for generations, the children of Taibao have grown up playing in its courtyard, among the stone lions and flagpoles, without ever thinking of it as “history.” It was simply the shrine at the end of the lane.
One of those children grew up to spend his life in education, and came back with a question: what if the shrine we played beside became the place we learned English? Not a textbook chapter about a faraway castle — but the real swords, the real plaques, the real goddess next door who is said to guard children, all named for the first time in a second language. That question is this course.
在廣德路上，離這所學校幾百公尺的地方，矗立著王氏家廟——那位以封號為我們的鎮命名的提督的家族祠堂。它近到，一代又一代的太保孩子，就在它的庭院裡、在石獅與旗杆之間玩大，從來沒把它當成「歷史」。它就只是——巷子盡頭的那座家廟。
那些孩子裡，有一個後來把一生投入教育，並帶著一個問題回來：如果我們從小在旁邊玩的那座家廟，變成我們學英語的地方，會怎樣？不是課本裡一座遙遠城堡的章節——而是真實的刀劍、真實的匾額、真實的、隔壁那位據說會守護孩子的神明，第一次用第二種語言被叫出名字。那個問題，就是這門課。
The best place to learn a second language is the place you already love in the first one. 學第二種語言最好的地方，是你早已用第一種語言愛著的那個地方。

A six-session course for senior-grade students — beginning in the classroom, walking to the shrine in the middle, and ending with the children themselves as guides. Draft arc; the school's teachers shape the final version.
一門給高年級的六節課——從教室開始，中段走到家廟，最後讓孩子自己成為導覽員。以下為弧線草稿，最終版由校內老師定調。
Who was Wang De-lu, and why does our whole town carry his title? Students meet the man behind the name — in the classroom, with maps and a timeline.
王得祿是誰？為什麼我們整個鎮都叫他的封號？在教室裡，用地圖和時間軸，孩子先認識鎮名背後的那個人。
Before the walk, the words. Students learn to name what they are about to see — the sword, the armour, the plaque, the stone lions, the flagpoles — in English and in Chinese.
走出去之前，先學會那些字。孩子練習用英文和中文，為他們即將看到的東西命名——刀劍、盔甲、匾額、石獅、旗杆。
The heart of the course: the class walks to the Wang Family Shrine and looks — really looks — recording what they find on a bilingual observation sheet, matching the words from Session 2 to the real things.
這門課的核心：全班走到王氏家廟，去「看」——真正地看——用雙語觀察學習單記錄發現，把第 2 節學的字，對到眼前真實的東西。
Next door at Fuji Temple lives the Seven Star Goddess, a protector of children. Students learn to introduce a belief that has watched over them since before they were born — gently, and in two languages.
隔壁的福濟宮，住著庇佑孩童的七星娘娘。孩子學著用兩種語言，溫柔地介紹一個在他們出生以前就守望著他們的信仰。
Each student turns their observation sheet into a real product: a bilingual guide card for one object or one stop, and a 30-second spoken English introduction they record themselves.
每個孩子把觀察學習單變成一個真實的產品：一張針對某件文物或某一站的雙語導覽卡，加上一段他們親自錄的 30 秒英文口語介紹。
The course ends where it should: with the children speaking. They guide younger students, parents, or visitors through the shrine in two languages — turning a place they have always known into a place they can now share with the world.
這門課結束在它應該結束的地方：孩子開口。他們用兩種語言，帶著學弟妹、家長或訪客走過家廟——把一個他們一直都認識的地方，變成一個他們現在能與世界分享的地方。
The point of this course is not a test score — it is a product the child can hold and a sentence the child can say. As classes complete the course, their bilingual guide cards and short videos will appear here, so that a course about our town becomes, in part, made by our town's children.
這門課的重點不是考試分數——而是一個孩子拿得住的成品、和一句孩子說得出口的話。隨著各班完成這門課，他們的雙語導覽卡與短片會陸續放在這裡，讓一門關於我們小鎮的課，有一部分，是由我們小鎮的孩子親手做出來的。
