USJ Launches First English General Studies Resource for Macao Schools

聖若瑟大學於10月13日在羅氏圖書館舉行《常識科補充筆記：賦能澳門教與學》新書發佈會，標誌著澳門英語教學發展的重要里程碑。這部開創性著作回應了澳門教育的核心需求。目前，澳門教青局推出的官方《常識》課本僅提供中文版本，然而，越來越多本地及國際學校正採用英語作為這一核心學科的授課語言。該著作首次為教育工作者提供量身訂製、富含本地語境的英語教學材料，成功填補了這一空白。該書旨在支持教青局「兩文三語」的教育方針，通過提供扎實的英語教學資源，作為官方課程的補充。內容圍繞三大與澳門緊密相關的核心主題展開：文化遺產與身份認同、環境動態與城市發展，以及可持續社區基礎設施。每個主題均包含完整的課時計劃、趣味專題活動設計，以及符合本地學業要求的評估工具。

The University of Saint Joseph (USJ) marked a major milestone for English-medium education in Macao with the launch of General Studies Supplementary Notes: Empowering Teaching and Learning in Macau on 13 October, at the Lo’s Library in the USJ Ilha Verde Campus. The publication, led by Chief Editor Prof. Isabel Tchiang, Dean of the School of Education and Director of the Teachers’ Professional Development Centre, addressed a significant gap for schools teaching General Studies in English, as the official textbook from the Education and Youth Affairs Bureau (DSEDJ) was only available in Chinese. The new resource, which offers lesson plans, project ideas, and assessments tailored to Macao’s unique context and aligned with local curriculum requirements, has been made available for distribution to educational institutions across Macao.

本書由天主教教育委員會資助，並獲李斌生主教大力支持，由教育學院院長兼教師專業發展中心主任鄭蘊雯教授擔任主編，集結了來自聖若瑟教區中學、聖若瑟教區中學第五校及聖羅撒英文中學逾十位教師的共同努力，充分結合本地教學經驗與需求。新書發佈會當日，聖若瑟大學副校長張曙光博士、天主教教育委員會主任陳庭鋒博士、聖若瑟教區中學第五校校長黃建民、聖若瑟教區中學校長吳庭照及聖羅撒英文中學梁嘉慧老師等嘉賓親臨現場，共同見證這一里程碑時刻。

The project was supported by Bishop Stephen Lee Bun-Sang and funded by the Diocesan Catholic Education Commission (CDEC), with contributions from more than ten teacher-authors from Colégio Diocesano de São José (CDSJ), Colégio Diocesano de São José 5 (CDSJ5), and Santa Rosa de Lima English Secondary School. The launch was also attended by Dr. Zhang Shuguang, Vice-Rector of USJ; Dr. Stephen Chan, Office Director of the CDEC; Mr. Wong Kin Man, Principal of CDSJ5; Mr. Ng Teng Chio, Principal of CDSJ; and Ms. Alice Leong.
