Description¶
The article describes an 8-week emergency language course designed using the Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) method, based on the Ministry of Education's "Concise Chinese for epidemic prevention and control" materials. The course uses plain English as teaching content across four units classified by emergency event type (natural disasters, accidents and disasters, public health events, social security events), aiming to enable students to "use concise, clear and practical English to communicate linguistically when major public emergencies occur." Content was validated by two foreign language teaching experts and four English teachers.
