EMI Teaching Course Demonstration
Steve Ying-Chu Chen is designed to facilitate a supportive EMI learning environment. You will receive insights into how I structure academic literacy within the field of Sport Sciences.

On this page, you’ll find the EMI course demonstration of how I utilize digital resources to teach core concepts like Experimental Research Design and the distinction between Acute exercise and Cognitive Function.
Physical Activity and Cognitive Function
Visual Scaffolding for Complex Concepts
In my EMI course demonstration, Physical Activity and Cognitive Function, I utilize visual aids to explain abstract methodological concepts. [cite_start]As demonstrated in my teaching presentation, visualizing the relationship between the Independent Variable (Cause) and the Dependent Variable (Effect) is crucial for student understanding.
This video serves as a flipped-classroom resource to help students visualize how we manipulate variables—such as comparing High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) vs. Moderate Continuous Training—to measure outcomes like short-term memory.

Linear Regression Course Guided Reading EMI course Demonstration
Simplifying Abstract Concepts with Analogies
Teaching statistics in an EMI setting can be challenging due to the complex terminology. In this “Guided Reading” session, I demonstrate how to use a relatable Real-world Analogy—the “Lunch Scenario”—to explain the concept of Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and its sensitivity to outliers.
By asking students to imagine 9 people buying a $10 lunch versus 1 person buying a $500 meal, I help them visualize how a single data point can distort the regression line. This Analogy-based Scaffolding is a key strategy I use to make abstract mathematical models accessible to students.
