In this bilingual health workshop, Teacher Zhen-Yi used lively and relatable methods to guide students in learning how to refuse cigarettes, alcohol, and betel nut. Through situational role-plays and practical dialogue demonstrations, students not only learned techniques such as “escaping with an excuse” and “politely declining,” but also how to use legal regulations—such as “No smoking under the age of twenty”—as reasons to protect themselves. It was clear that the teacher places great importance on students’ well-being and hopes to embed preventive education into everyday life. The design of Teacher Zhen-Yi’s bilingual class did not rely on one-way lecturing; instead, it started from the students’ perspective, helping them transform textbook knowledge into concrete actions. Through interaction and hands-on practice, students strengthened their understanding that “tobacco, alcohol, and betel nut are harmful to the body.” Such a lesson not only increased student engagement but also helped health education take deeper root in their minds. Overall, the workshop was rich and practical. The instructor provided engaging and useful ways to help students develop healthy habits and the courage to refuse substances harmful to their health, such as tobacco, alcohol, and betel nut. The workshop was highly effective and guided the participants to think about how to design bilingual health-education materials that better match the realities of elementary school students.
