Ren-he Junior High School is a middle school located in Taoyuan City, Taiwan and established in 1971. A total of 2 classes with 60 students and 13 teachers participated in the pilot. Prior to this, the school’s development in both technology application and bilingual education is in its premature stage. The school is in a suburban area whose students come from diverse backgrounds. This makes Ren-he the ‘ordinary’ junior high school that can represent the broader school system in Taiwan.

At the same time, Taiwan is showing a clear investment trend in digital transformation in education, such as the “Tablet for Every Student” initiative over the next four years. How can technology help schools in Taiwan realise this goal of developing in both technology and bilingual use?
