Have you ever thought of delving into an area of study outside of the DFLL? Or have you considered graduating with a minor, or even a second major, in another subject area? As of last year, 645 NTU students did just this. This figure seems to signal the arrival of an era of interdisciplinary studies in Taiwan in general, and at NTU in particular. In response to this new trend, the Ministry of Education’s (MOE) Department of Higher Education 高等教育司 has drawn up new regulations, which took effect beginning this semester, governing double major and major-minor study programs. The legal source of the new regulations is the University Law 大學法.

World Vision of Taiwan 台灣世界展望會 extends a sincere invitation to DFLL students to donate a few of their spare hours to translating letters for needy children and their Taiwan sponsors. World Vision began in 1950 by sponsoring one child in Korea. Today individuals in 17 countries sponsor over one million children around the globe through World Vision. Child sponsorship brings together a child in the context of family and community with a sponsor in another country. By sending funds monthly, the child’s sponsor directly supports a project that helps the child and benefits the entire community by Mei-lan Liang
Every now and then you hear complaints that this or that book is not available in the College of Liberal Arts library. But what can be done about it, besides grousing? Go to Professor Cheng Yung-hsiao 鄭永孝, that’s what. Professor Cheng has been in charge of ordering books for the DFLL for some 16 years. But Prof. Cheng indicated that while some faculty members occasionally bring lists of titles, authors and publishers to him, no student has ever filed a book order request with him Prof. Cheng added that books requested by faculty account for only a small proportion of materials ordered for the College of Liberal Arts Library. “We depend on the catalogues provided by book dealers to get information on new foreign books by Jessica Che-yi Chao 趙哲儀 and Sylvia Yu-sen Chen 陳郁森
As we look at the countless photographs we took in Europe, it seems like everything just happened yesterday. We believe that this summer will certainly be the most unforgettable one in our life… It was love at first sight upon our arrival in Bremen. We were excited about starting a brand new life in a place thousands of miles away from home. A woman named Miss Kademani briefly introduced us to the school, the Hochschule Bremen, and the study program. We then went to our host families. The following day, we were given a short test so we could be divided into different levels. We started classes the third day after our arrival. by Iris Jan
I sat there quietly with Angel and Jennifer, waiting for the show to start. I was taken a bit aback by the sparse physical setup of the Campden Community Center in London: unlike other performance venues, it was furnished simply with just a few plain wooden tables and chairs. Lighted white candles suffused a romantic excitement throughout the room. I tried to imagine what the show would be like but got nowhere. Flipping open Time Out, a weekly art event magazine, I reread the blurb on tonight’s show: “A lively presentation of poetry combined with DJ, singing, storytelling…by Survivor’s Poetry.” It was the name of the group that piqued my curiosity and brought me here. Well, having to hand in a final project for the King’s College summer program in which I was enrolled had something to do with it, too. Since I had chosen “The Literary Life of London” as my topic, I thought this performance would be a good start By Juliet Tzou
Following a recent major change in the education law, Taiwan’s normal (teacher training) colleges and universities no longer have exclusive rights to cultivating would-be secondary school teachers by Pascal Chen 陳穎睿 (Ch'en Ying-jui) reviewed by Jean-Luc Le Bihan, translated by Jenny Shern
I did not expect to take French. When I was thinking about which second foreign language to study, I thought I would choose German. But I am now glad to have chosen French! French is a very beautiful language. In order to gain proficiency in this lovely language, I went to France last summer for one month. During this month I really made progress in French and also learned many other things, including how to live with people of different nationalities (which is not at all easy), and how to get by on my own - I saw and came to know all kinds of new things. I really benefited from going to France. What a great idea it was to have chosen French! |
