美國喬治梅森大學學生短訪研究接待照片

The Center for Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (CAPEC) has been in cooperation with the Cultural Division (now Education Division) of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representation Office in Washington D.C. (TECRO) to build a lasting relationship between Taiwan and George Mason University (GMU) for more than ten years. With resources supported by the Ministry of Education in Taiwan, CAPEC has developed courses focused on Taiwan, established working relationships with Taiwanese academia, created meaningful student exchanges and facilitated faculty collaborations.

To enlarge the program, prof. John N. Paden and prof. Yuen Chou Liu, co-directors of CAPEC visited NTNU in 2011 for further collaboration, and ITSC started hosting Taiwan Studies Program recipients from GMU for short-term research stay from 2011-2014 in hopes of establishing a long-term relationship between GMU and NTNU.

Experimental Course for Foreigners Learning Taiwanese Language

外籍生短期台語實驗課程照片

2012.10.18-12.13
本台語實驗課程由本中心及法國國立東方語言暨文化學院(Institute National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales, INALCO)Yoann Goudin 合作辦理,招收已具備嫻熟漢語能力之外籍學生學習台語。課程目標在於使外籍學生在最短時間內學會台語會話,和台灣人溝通,同時透過台語的學習更加了解台灣文化。在教學法及教學原理上,本課程以多語主義典範為基礎 ,強調兩個鄰近語言之間的相互理解,亦即特別著重「中介語」 (interlanguages),利用學習者之前的漢語學習經驗來學習台語,同時透過「腔 調」、語碼轉換、語碼改變、語意轉介等技巧,來規劃學習者的語言進步進程 ,以便在最短時間內理解口語並學習語彙。此理論架構曾在拉丁語系、日耳曼語系、斯拉夫語系等語言間實驗,常被稱為「外國語教學的哥白尼革命」。
