【一位國際學生媽媽的心底話:為什麼我決定讓孩子參加 6 天 5 夜全英文辯論營?】
有時候,我覺得孩子帶給我的成長,可能比我教她的還多。
我家女兒從開始學英文辯論後,我們家的對話方式真的變得不太一樣。
以前她問問題都是:「為什麼?」然後,我要屏住氣息、控制白眼🙄的耐著性子回答….
現在她常常會說:
• 「Mommy,你試著站到另外那個人的角度想想看。」
• 「你覺得哪個因素真正比較重要?」
• 「我們可以把這件事拆成兩個方向來看嗎?」
那一刻,我真的覺得——辯論不是在教她「贏」,是在教她「想」。
那麼,為什麼要送孩子來6天五夜 沉浸式全英文辯論住宿營隊?
1. 💰 金錢高效率:用 $60,000 避免未來 $300,000 的浪費
身為媽媽,也身為創辦人,我看見台灣孩子最「需要補」的能力。
我們長期關注國際辯論營:Harvard、NSD、Stanford、Oxford等。結果我發現一件事:
🇺🇸 美國一線營隊兩週住宿幾乎都是 NT$200,000–250,000 起跳。
然而,許多課程很強,但仍偏向技巧導向(delivery, drills, briefs)。這對已經習慣美式教育的高中生當然有用,但對亞洲孩子不一定能真正補到「思考框架」和「理解能力」這些核心技能。
我很清楚自己孩子的狀態——她英文能力沒問題,反而更需要有人帶她**「整理想法、看不同角度、講得更清楚」**。
因此,我們把國際級 PF 訓練搬回台灣,做到美國兩週的成效。
2. 🏆 冠軍見證:這是一種你一生受用的溝通技能
我們所訓練的,正是國際辯論冠軍所強調的——高效率溝通與決策力。
「PF 營隊不僅教會我如何贏得比賽,更教會我如何將複雜議題清晰地傳達給任何聽眾。這是一種你一生受用的溝通與決策技能。」

3. 🔥 為什麼住宿式密集營,效果是課堂的 5–10 倍?
(這是我們這次寒假,給孩子「高效率訓練」的答案。)
因為我們這次寒假做的事情,是把美國 PF 的訓練邏輯完整搬回來,孩子在 6 天 5 夜裡做到的事情很單純:
「每天浸在英文、浸在思考裡。」
這種密度,是任何線上課程沒辦法做到的。
(我們線上辯論課已經上了半年以上,但住宿營的沉浸度真的完全不同。)
整整六天五夜,孩子不是學技巧,而是學 理解世界 → 建立觀點 → 有邏輯地講出來 的完整能力。
我們將美國兩週訓練量,濃縮在 6 天高密度實戰中:
• 訓練框架: Constructives, Rebuttals, Summaries, Final Focus...
• 高階思維: Weighing / Meta-Weighing (權重判斷)、Fallacy Training、Evidence Research...
• 實戰密度: Daily Mini Debates、Redo Speeches、Day 5–6 Camp Tournament (共四場比賽)
4. ❤️ 媽媽的心裡話:不求冠軍,只求全面
我的孩子,不需要在小學階段就變成冠軍。但我真的希望她:
• 看事情能更全面
• 面對不同意見不會玻璃心
• 能夠冷靜講清楚自己的想法
• 能理解別人的觀點而不是立刻反駁
• 未來去到任何地方都能自信地表達自己
這次的 6 天 5 夜,我期待它能再推她一把。

A G5 International Student Mom's Honest Take: Why I Chose a 6-Day, 5-Night Full English Debate Camp in Taiwan.
Sometimes, I feel like the growth my child brings me is more than what I teach her.
Since my daughter started English debate last year, the way we converse at home has genuinely changed.
She used to just ask, "Why?"
Now, she often says things like:
• "Mommy, try to put yourself in the other person's shoes."
• "Would the reason be the same if you were them?"
• "Can we break this issue down into two separate directions?"
Sometimes I just share small things about work, yet she can calmly and non-judgmentally ask me:
• "What if we look at the opposite side?"
• "Which factor do you think truly carries more weight?"
In those moments, I truly feel that debate isn't teaching her to "win," it's teaching her to "think."
1. 💰 Financial Efficiency: Investing $60,000 to Avoid $300,000 in Overseas Waste
As a mom and as the founder, I see the crucial skills Asian students need to fill.
Through my work, I've checked out numerous international debate camps: Harvard, NSD, Stanford, etc. I realized one thing:
🇺🇸 Two-week residential programs at top US camps often start at NT$200,000 (approx. 6,500 USD) and frequently go up to NT250,000 ($8,000 USD).
However, many of these strong programs are still primarily skill-oriented (delivery, drills, briefs). While useful for US high schoolers, they don't always address the core needs of Asian students: "thinking frameworks" and "deep comprehension."
I know my own child's situation—her English is fine, but she needs someone to guide her in "organizing thoughts, seeing multiple perspectives, and articulating clearly."
That’s why we brought the international PF training logic back to Taiwan, delivering two weeks of US camp effectiveness in six days.
2. 🏆 Champion Endorsement: A Communication Skill That Lasts a Lifetime
The skills we train are precisely what international debate champions emphasize—high-efficiency communication and critical decision-making.
"PF camp didn't just teach me how to win rounds; it taught me how to articulate complex issues clearly to any audience. That is a communication and decision-making skill set you use every day."
— Maggie Mills, 2020 NSDA National Public Forum Champion Alumna
NSDA (National Speech and Debate Association) is the most authoritative high school debate association in the US.
3. 🔥 Why Does the Residential Camp Deliver 5–10x the Impact of Classes?
Our purpose this winter break is not just to run a fun camp; it is to implement the full logic of US PF training. The children achieve one simple goal in 6 days and 5 nights: "Immerse themselves in English, immerse themselves in thinking."
This intensity is something no online course can replicate. (We've been through a full summer & full semester of online classes, but the immersion of the residential camp is completely different.)
We condensed two weeks of US training volume into six days of high-density practice:
• Frameworks: Constructives, Rebuttals, Summaries, Final Focus...
• Advanced Thinking: Weighing / Meta-Weighing, Fallacy Training, Evidence Research...
• Practice Density: Daily Mini Debates, Redo Speeches, Camp Tournament (4 rounds on Day 5–6)
4. ❤️ The Mom's Final Word: Not Seeking a Champion, But Seeking Wholeness
My child doesn't need to become a champion in elementary school. But I genuinely hope she develops the following:
• The ability to see things more comprehensively.
• Resilience against criticism.
• The skill to clearly articulate her thoughts calmly.
• The ability to understand others' perspectives instead of immediately refuting them.
• The confidence to express herself anywhere she goes in the future.
Since starting debate, I feel she is moving in this direction. And I expect these 6 days and 5 nights to give her another powerful push.
