What are some reputable programs for high school students?

What are some summer taiwan programs for high school students?

  • I am in Chinese 3 right now, but I am learning traditional characters. The jump from Chinese 3 to Chinese 4 is huge at my high school because only native speakers take Chinese 4, and I am not one. I wanted to do a summer program abroad in Taiwan since they write and read in traditional characters there. What programs are available in Taiwan where I could stay there during the summer and develop my language skills?

  • Answer:

    Check and see if you can pay to attend some university summer camp programs for Chinese immersion... try researching the NTU (National Taiwan University) program in Taipei. You can also look into Providence University and Dong Hai University in Taichung, and Chen-Gong University in Tainan. Those are the reputable universities I am aware of, perhaps WNL is aware of a reputable one in Hualien...

I'm a senior in high school and did a summer internship at the National Chiao Tung University. I'm a native speaker, and about half literate, and I feel that the internship wasn't really the best place to develop language skills. This had a lot to do with the environment; after all, everyone there was busy and didn't have time to teach me. I think your best bet is to go with other students your age. Most Taiwanese friends I know have attended the Expatriate Youth Taiwan Summer Camp [Love Boat] at some point or another. Mostly, they just keep a bunch of teenagers together and tour the island. It doesn't exactly include classes, but when you're out on the streets shopping and interacting with native Taiwanese, it helps a lot with conversation and listening.
