WBC經典賽葳格棒球隊樂當國際志工

圖書館主任 陳劭宸

2023年第五屆世界棒球經典賽(WBC)A組賽事於臺灣時間3月8日在臺中洲際棒球場展開。葳格國際學校高中部是臺中市唯一獲選擔任場內志工的私校,學生在開幕式中擔任舉旗手,引領荷蘭隊的國旗進場。

羅紫維同學分享「我們在學校體育課是實施雙語教學,所以對於如何幫選手加油,或是基本的運動術語,都有基本概念,因此在球場上看到外國人,也比較不陌生,能夠對談自如,這是我參與本次志工活動的動機」。

葳格國際學校致力培育國際人才,不僅提供雙語學習環境,也透過各種國際性活動讓學生體驗大場面,反思學以致用的重要性。本次投入開幕式的志工看似是整個賽事的小螺絲,可不僅是一時之選,賽前必須在烈日下練習站立和舉旗,只為能培訓充足的體能,在開幕式中展現完美的一面,而這也是學習面對事情,做好自己的一種態度。

 

Wagor Baseball Team Applies Skills as INTERNATIONAL VOLUNTEERS AT WBC WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC

The 5th World Baseball Classic (WBC) tournament for Group A began on March 8th, 2023, in Taiwan. The opening ceremony included the flags marching of the five participating countries, including Taiwan, Cuba, the Netherlands, Italy, and Panama. Each Flag was carried into the stadium by international volunteers. One of the volunteers, Lin, Junzhe, a student from the high school baseball team at Wagor International School, expressed his excitement about being involved in the event and hoped to learn about different baseball cultures from other countries.

Wagor International School in Taichung is dedicated to cultivating international talent and providing a bilingual learning environment to promote international literacy. The school encourages its students to participate in international events, such as the Okinawa Training Camp in Japan and the Cross-Strait High School Baseball Club Invitational, to expand their interests and communicate with the world. Another student from the baseball team, Luo, Ziwei, mentioned that the bilingual teaching in physical education classes made it easier to communicate with foreign players and cheer for them in the game. The volunteers also had to practice standing in the sun for a long time. These experience taught them the importance of facing challenges and to persevere to improve their abilities.

Mr. Chen, the president of the parent association of Wagor International School, believes that participating in international events is essential for students' development, and it is a valuable opportunity for their children to practice what they have learned in school and record unforgettable memories in their learning journey.
