为贯彻“丰富学生生活经验，使学习体验更精彩”的教学理念，本校初二国际班同学在老师们的带领下，前往十八丁展开为期一天的户外教学活动。这项活动旨在让学生走出课堂，亲身接触课本以外的真实世界，从中获得更深刻的学习体验。
当天，学生们参访了十八丁著名的炭窑工厂及马登红树林保护区。学校特邀一位专业导游全程讲解火炭的制作过程，以及红树林生态系统的独特结构和功能。学生们不仅亲眼见证了炭的制作流程，也深入了解了红树林在生态平衡中的重要角色。
此外，学生还有机会亲手栽种红树树苗，并与来自马来西亚登嘉楼大学（UMT）的国际硕士研究生进行跨文化交流。在互动过程中，他们学习了关于红树的繁殖特性、树种分类、叶子构造及种子形态等知识，同时也分享了彼此国家与族群的文化特色，增进了国际视野与文化理解。
这次户外教学结合了科学与英文的跨学科教学策略。老师们精心设计了学习单，引导学生在探索与观察中寻找答案，并于课堂回归后，通过绘画等创意方式，表达他们的学习成果。
总而言之，此次户外教学不仅有效结合科学与英语的学习内容，也提供学生亲身体验红树林生态及炭产业的机会。透过实际参与，如亲手种植红树幼苗，学生不仅增强了环保意识，也培养了批判性思维、观察能力与沟通技巧。这是一次知识与体验兼备、成长与启发并重的跨学科学习旅程。
In line with our teaching philosophy of “enriching students’ life experiences to make learning more exciting,” our Form 2 International Class students, led by their teachers, embarked on a one-day outdoor education trip to Kuala Sepetang (十八丁). This activity aimed to take students beyond the classroom and into the real world, offering them deeper, more authentic learning experiences.
During the trip, students visited Kuala Sepetang’s renowned charcoal kiln factory and the Matang Mangrove Forest Reserve. A professional guide was specially invited to explain the charcoal-making process and the unique structure and functions of the mangrove ecosystem. Students witnessed the production of charcoal firsthand and gained insights into the crucial role mangroves play in maintaining ecological balance.
Additionally, students had the opportunity to plant mangrove saplings themselves and engage in cross-cultural exchanges with international master’s students from Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT). Through these interactions, they learned about mangrove reproduction, species classification, leaf structures, and seed forms, while also sharing cultural features of their own countries and ethnic groups, thus broadening their international perspectives and cultural understanding.
This outdoor education experience integrated science and English through an interdisciplinary teaching approach. Teachers designed learning worksheets to guide students in exploring and observing, and after returning to school, students expressed their learning outcomes creatively through activities like drawing.
In summary, this outdoor learning journey not only effectively combined science and English content but also offered students a hands-on experience with the mangrove ecosystem and the charcoal industry.
Through activities like planting mangrove saplings, students enhanced their environmental awareness, critical thinking, observation skills, and communication abilities. It was a cross-disciplinary journey rich in knowledge, experience, growth, and inspiration.
