Center for Teaching Chinese as a Second Language
GOAL
Our immediate goal is to provide Chinese language classes for foreign students currently studying at Shih Hsin University. Meanwhile, we organize a teaching team to start our Chinese Summer School, which welcomes all college students worldwide to receive intensive Chinese language training at the University. We take the Middlebury College Summer Language Program in Vermont, USA, as our model and will offer two four-week intensive Chinese language sessions in July and August respectively. Our vision is to make CTC the future Middlebury in Taiwan.
