In addition to the indoor language courses, the Chinese and cultural experience courses of this project also include outdoor-themed learning experience trips. The immersive learning model that combines learning and use will make participating students impress the school and Taiwan. The characteristics of Chinese language courses and cultural studies are as follows:
(1) Language learning and environmental interaction:
Mandarin teachers design a variety of teaching methods so that Chinese teaching is not only limited to the classroom in the school but also leads students out of the classroom and actually interacts with the environment, which can enhance the opportunities and fun of learning Chinese for international students. For example, students learn the vocabulary and sentence patterns of ordering meals in the course and then move to the student dining room after class to apply the language learned in the classroom to the real field.
(2) Local cultural promotion:
Integrate the geography, humanities, industry, and other resources of the central region, extend the teaching field to the community and develop regionally characteristic courses that combine language and culture. By visiting the scenic spots in Taiwan, such as Taichung Small Tour, Fengjia Night Market, Lin's Garden, Gaomei Wetland to admire the sunset, and Sun Moon Lake tour, you can have a cross-domain experience and discover the style of Taiwan that is different from your home country.
(3) International cultural exchange:
Solicit Taiwanese students to serve as international students to help foreign students adapt to life and study in Taiwan, and learn cross-cultural communication in the process. The promotion strategy framework for this Chinese course is as follows.
