School English education is no longer judged only by test results. To address students' weak listening and speaking skills, the K-12 Education Administration, Ministry of Education, has worked with International Community Radio Taipei since school year 108 to produce "News LunchBox" and bring English news from online listening into classroom practice.

The resource has produced more than 2,500 episodes and recorded over 3 million clicks. By the first semester of school year 114, campus activities had reached 20 cities and counties across Taiwan, with 67 sessions held. It has become a teaching resource for English listening and speaking, not just a one-time campus activity.

"News LunchBox" uses school, daily life and current affairs topics as materials for listening and speaking. Teachers can use the news for classroom questions, news-reading practice and discussions, giving students fuller sentences, pronunciation rhythm and real-life contexts.

Campus activities add real-time interaction that online learning cannot easily provide. Students read along, present news and answer questions on site, moving English practice from one-way listening to actual expression.

The administration said it will continue working with International Community Radio Taipei to adjust content and learning resources, so English news materials better fit school needs and return listening and speaking practice to everyday classrooms.
