With the prediction that the 21st century will become the century of Pacific basin, and the truth that Chinese is the common language of one-quarter of the world’s population, the Chinese language has set off an upsurge in the world. Learning Chinese has become a global academic trend with increasing demands, and needs for teaching Chinese as a second language bloom worldwide in recent years. Taiwan has its own characteristics on teaching materials and methods, however, the teachers and teaching materials in Taiwan are not enough to meet the global demands. Therefore, we expect to (1) nurture excellent Chinese teaching talents for overseas teaching works to meet the great demands from the Chinese market, (2) improve the practicability of Chinese teaching materials by developing better materials for specific teaching objects, (3) develop into the top graduate institute of teaching Chinese as a second language equipped with an e-teaching system in Taiwan, and (4) become the center of Chinese teaching and teaching R&D services in southern Taiwan.
Other than the common curriculums in the Chinese teaching field specified by the Ministry of Education, we offer a diversity of courses and teaching practice programs with excellent faculty and research environment. Our program is featured with:
1. Advanced theory and practice in Chinese language teaching
2. Advanced Chinese linguistics
3. Compilation of Chinese teaching materials and digital distance learning courses
4. Connotation and application of Chinese culture
Multiple courses of foreign languages
