Japanese High-school Students, Parents Come to Visit NCUE
With the lifting of pandemic restrictions, Zhi-ting Lin, President of the Taiwan Mandarin Learning Center, and Fumio Ambiru, Consultant of the Taiwan Study Support Center, both from Japan, led a group of students and parents from various high schools to the NCUE campus for a visit at the end of March. This visit aimed to provide insights for students considering studying in Taiwan. Lee Hon Man, Dean of NCUE International Office, expressed high anticipation for the increasing number of Japanese students on campus. NCUE is recommended by the Taiwan Study Support Center, and currently, there are a few Japanese students enrolled in Master's program in Counseling and Guidance, Bachelor's program in Business Administration, etc.
During the reception, Dean Lee mentioned that NCUE used to be a college focusing on high-school teacher training, and now it is a comprehensive university with a wide range of professional departments. As such, NCUE expects more Japanese students, who enrich the multiculturalism of the campus.
President Lin of the Taiwan Mandarin Learning Center, has visited NCUE several times before, but this visit marked the first time since the outbreak of the pandemic. Lin highlighted the rich resources in teacher education at NCUE and the numerous choices for students to delve into professional fields. Due to these factors, he will continue to recommend Japanese students to come and study here.
Chika Yamane, a third-year Japanese student majoring in Business Administration, shared her experiences and answered questions during the event. She explained that her decision to study at NCUE was influenced by Changhua's pleasant climate, moderate population density, proximity to the Taichung metropolitan area, convenient transportation, and relatively lower cost of living. Additionally, the rarity of foreign students in the area makes it an ideal environment for practicing Chinese.
Yamane described Taiwanese students as "gentle and serious". When her Chinese proficiency was low upon entering the school, they actively assisted her. Her roommates treated her like family. Yamane was also a member of the sign language club at school, winning in a sign language competition. She worked legally off-campus and occasionally gathered with fellow Japanese residents in Changhua. She even applied for an exchange program to mainland China next semester, making her campus life colorful and diverse.
Yamane pointed out that the switch between the textbooks written in English and Chinese instruction in her major was a significant challenge. She advised future Japanese students to not only improve their Chinese but also enhance their English skills to overcome language barriers quickly. She emphasized the importance of maintaining a positive and happy attitude when facing a new and unfamiliar environment, which helps in adapting, overcoming challenges, and making friends. Being far from home, she has come to appreciate her parents' love and sacrifices. The earnest words resonated with the students' parents present at the event.
Afterwards, NCUE International Ambassadors composed of local students led the guests on a campus tour and tasted Taiwanese famous snacks, including pearl milk tea, Changhua longan cake, and special tile biscuits with campus patterns. It brought more surprises for the Japanese students and parents.
