Abstract

In the past, when teaching foreign law in graduate school classes, teachers would assign foreign (English) legal material to students, asking them to read and prepare at home by themselves without any help and to then make a presentation in class. The teacher would comment and offer some supplementary explanation. Due to the lower birth rate in Taiwan, the knowledge and level of English language for graduate students are getting worse. If the teacher does not help students with some Chinese material for reference, then the students will feel frustrated in the process of preparation. After the class presentation, students will vehemently reject learning more about foreign law and related topics. This study uses the Action Research method. First, the researcher assigns cases and delivers English material about foreign patent law to students. Second, Chinese supporting materials are offered. When the students make a presentation in class, their performances are observed and recorded. At the end of this experiment, the students are asked whether the improved method of teaching foreign law raised their learning interests in foreign patent law. The students seem to be more interested in foreign patent law when using this method.
