School News 校園新聞 · 學生主播訓練班

A weekly 3-minute student-produced English news bulletin teaches more sustained spoken English than any 40-minute class. Anchors prepare for hours; everyone watching learns from someone their own age.

一週一支 3 分鐘的學生英文校園新聞，教會學生的口說英文比一堂 40 分鐘的課還多。主播事前準備數小時；觀眾從同齡人身上學。

Why it matters · 政策對齊

Implements the 2030 bilingual policy's principle of "student-led bilingual production" — high-leverage authentic-task speaking with a real audience and weekly cadence.

實踐 2030 雙語政策「學生主導之雙語產出」原則——高槓桿、真實任務的口說訓練，有真實觀眾、固定週期。

Core principle · 核心原則: 一週一支三分鐘，比一堂四十分鐘還有效。Three minutes a week, repeated, beats a lesson plan that aims for an hour.

Five components of a running news team 五個讓新聞部運轉的元件

The five components below assemble into a working weekly broadcast. Read in order — roles first, then format, then script, then production, then distribution. Don't optimize for polish; optimize for sustainability.

以下五個元件組裝成一支可運行的週播節目。順序：先角色、再格式、再腳本、再製作、再發布。重點不在精緻，在「能持續做下去」。

Activity 01

News Team Roles · 新聞部成員

六個角色，全班都有任務

⏱ Team setup · 45 minutes

What it is · 做法

Six rotating roles let an entire class participate without overcrowding the screen — anchor, on-location reporter, weather, sports, camera operator, and an editor who never appears.

六個輪值角色，全班都能參與、又不會擠在鏡頭前——主播、外景記者、氣象、體育、攝影、後製剪輯（不露臉）。

Sample script · 範本對話

Anchor: Good morning! I'm Yuting, your anchor today. Here is this week's top story.
Reporter (on location): I'm at the playground. Yesterday our basketball team played their first game of the season.
Weather: Today will be sunny, with a high of 26 degrees. Tomorrow, rain in the afternoon.
Sports: In sports news, the volleyball team is preparing for the county tournament next week.

Key vocabulary · 關鍵詞彙

anchor 主播on location 外景top story 頭條season 賽季tournament 錦標賽

Implementation tip · 實施建議

Rotate roles every two episodes — every student should sit in every chair across a semester. The shy student often becomes the best editor.

每兩集輪換角色——一學期下來每位學生都坐過每個位置。最害羞的孩子往往成為最好的剪輯師。

Activity 02

Weekly Episode Template · 每週節目模板

3 分鐘的結構

⏱ Episode runtime · 3 minutes

What it is · 做法

A consistent 3-minute structure: 30s opener → 50s segment 1 → 50s segment 2 → 50s segment 3 → 20s sign-off. The same shape every week means students don't have to reinvent format.

固定的 3 分鐘結構：30 秒開場 → 50 秒第一段 → 50 秒第二段 → 50 秒第三段 → 20 秒結尾。每週同樣節奏，學生不必每次重新發明格式。

Sample script · 範本對話

Anchor: Welcome back to Changhua School News. I'm Yuting and this is your three-minute weekly update.
Anchor: Our top story this week: the bilingual reading marathon results. Let's go to our reporter on location.
Reporter: [on location segment] ...
Anchor: That's all from us today. See you next Monday morning. Have a great week!

Key vocabulary · 關鍵詞彙

segment 段落transition 轉場update 更新throw to 切到sign off 結尾

Implementation tip · 實施建議

The hardest part isn't reading — it's the smooth transition between segments. Practice transitions twice for every once you practice the segments themselves.

最難的不是讀稿，是段落之間的銜接。轉場練習時間應該是「段落練習」的兩倍。

Activity 03

Anchor Script Template · 主播稿模板

從歡迎到再見

⏱ Script prep · 90 minutes weekly

What it is · 做法

A reusable Word document with [BLANK] fields for the week's content. Anchors only need to fill in the story names, dates, and names — the connecting language is already there.

一份可重複使用的 Word 模板，預留 [BLANK] 待填位置。主播只需填入本週的故事、日期、姓名——銜接語言已經寫好。

Sample script · 範本對話

Template — Opening: Welcome to Changhua School News for [DATE]. I'm [NAME] and here are the headlines.
Template — Segment intro: Our [first / second / third] story this week is about [TOPIC]. Let's hear from [REPORTER NAME].
Template — Sign-off: That's the news for [DATE]. From all of us at [SCHOOL NAME], have a wonderful week ahead.
Template — Backup: We had a small technical problem with one of our stories. We will bring it to you next week. Thank you for your patience.

Key vocabulary · 關鍵詞彙

template 模板blank 空格headlines 頭條backup 備案patience 耐心

Implementation tip · 實施建議

Print the script in 14pt with double spacing. Smaller fonts cause stumbles. The bigger the font, the smoother the read.

稿子用 14pt 雙倍行距印。字小會卡。字越大，讀得越順。

Activity 04

Recording & Editing · 錄製與後製

一支手機就夠了

⏱ Production · 60 minutes weekly

What it is · 做法

Use a tripod-mounted phone, free editing apps (CapCut, iMovie), and built-in caption tools. Don't aim for broadcast quality — aim for student-watchable quality.

用三腳架架手機、免費剪輯 App（CapCut、iMovie）、內建字幕工具。不必追求廣播品質，達到「學生愛看」的程度就好。

Sample script · 範本對話

Director: Quiet on set. We are recording in three, two, one — action.
Anchor (mid-take): Sorry, let me start again.
Director: No problem. Let's go again — three, two, one — action.
Director: And cut! Good take. Let's add the captions in editing.

Key vocabulary · 關鍵詞彙

take 鏡次retake 重來action 開始（拍）cut 切（停拍）caption 字幕

Implementation tip · 實施建議

Always add Chinese captions — non-fluent students watch the captions to catch up. Bilingual captioning doubles the educational value of every episode.

字幕中英文都要上——英文還不流利的學生靠中文字幕跟上。雙語字幕讓每一集的教育價值翻倍。

Activity 05

Distribution · 發布

三個頻道，全校都看得到

⏱ Weekly publishing · 15 minutes

What it is · 做法

Three channels: (a) Monday morning playback at assembly, (b) classroom TV during homeroom that week, (c) school YouTube channel for parents and alumni. Same content, three audiences.

三個發布管道：(a) 週一升旗播放，(b) 該週早自修教室電視播放，(c) 學校 YouTube 頻道給家長與校友。同樣的內容，三種觀眾。

Sample script · 範本對話

Principal (Monday assembly): Before our anthem, let's watch this week's School News. Anchors, take a bow!
Homeroom teacher (in class): We'll watch the School News during the first five minutes. Eyes on the screen.
Parent (at home, on YouTube): Look — Yuting was on the news this week. She was really good!
Alumnus (overseas): Subscribed. Watching my old school's news makes me homesick in a good way.

Key vocabulary · 關鍵詞彙

publish 發布subscribe 訂閱playback 重播alumnus 校友homesick 想家

Implementation tip · 實施建議

Your school's YouTube channel becomes a 5-year archive of student growth. Parents will rewatch their child's segments decades later. Treat the channel like a yearbook.

學校 YouTube 頻道會累積成五年的學生成長檔案。家長幾十年後仍會回看自己孩子的段落。把頻道當畢業紀念冊經營。
