為促進國際交流與文化理解，本校於本月迎來來自美國姊妹校——中央阿肯色大學（University of Central Arkansas）與Hendrix學院（Hendrix College）的師生，參與為期一個月的華語文遊學團。在劉雯佳教授的帶領下，來訪師生透過豐富多元的課程與活動，深入體驗台灣的人文風情與語言文化。

本次遊學團除安排系統性的正規華語課程外，亦設計一系列融合文化與實作的課程，包括鶯歌捏陶、篆刻藝術、鳳梨酥手作體驗，以及台灣象棋文化的初探等，讓學生在語言學習之外，也能親身感受台灣傳統藝術之美。

校外教學方面，師生走訪台北多處歷史與文化景點，如大稻埕、台北孔廟、國立故宮博物院、林家花園與總統府等，並前往宜蘭礁溪體驗溫泉魚及參訪國立傳統藝術中心，進一步了解台灣多元的文化脈絡與自然風光。

在品味在地美食方面，學生們也不遺餘力，親身品嚐了鼎泰豐的小籠包、鬍鬚張的滷肉飯、春水堂的珍珠奶茶，更前往士林夜市，深入感受台灣夜市文化的熱鬧氛圍與庶民生活樣貌。

本校期盼透過本次遊學活動，不僅提升學生的華語能力，更加深對台灣風俗民情的理解與興趣。感謝Hendrix學院劉雯佳教授的大力協助與帶領，為兩校之間的交流合作奠定良好基礎。

我們誠摯歡迎中央阿肯色大學與Hendrix學院的師生未來再次蒞臨北市大，並期待雙方在未來有更多實質性的學術與文化合作，共同推動國際教育交流。

Activity Theme: 2025 University of Central Arkansas & College of Hendrix Mandarin Study Abroad in University of Taipei

Activity Time: 2025.05.19~06.14

Activity Introduction: 

To promote international exchange and cultural understanding, the University of Taipei recently welcomed faculty and students from its U.S. sister institutions—University of Central Arkansas (UCA) and Hendrix College—for a one-month Mandarin Language and Culture Study Program. Led by Professor Wen-Chia Liu from Hendrix College, the visiting group engaged in a variety of activities that provided an in-depth exploration of Taiwan’s rich culture and vibrant local life.

In addition to formal Mandarin language classes, the program featured hands-on cultural workshops such as pottery making in Yingge, Chinese seal engraving, pineapple cake baking, and an introduction to Chinese chess. These experiences allowed students to immerse themselves in Taiwan’s traditional arts while applying their language skills in real-world contexts.

The group also visited several of Taipei’s iconic cultural and historical landmarks, including Dadaocheng, the Taipei Confucius Temple, the National Palace Museum, Lin Family Mansion and Garden, and the Presidential Office Building. A weekend trip to Yilan offered further exploration, with visits to Jiaoxi’s fish foot spa and the National Center for Traditional Arts.

No cultural experience would be complete without food, and the students had the opportunity to savor some of Taiwan’s most beloved local dishes. Highlights included Din Tai Fung’s famous soup dumplings, braised pork rice from Formosa Chang, and pearl milk tea from Chun Shui Tang. A night at the Shilin Night Market gave students a taste of Taiwan’s vibrant night market culture and street food.

Through this immersive program, participants gained not only improved Mandarin proficiency but also a deeper appreciation of Taiwan’s cultural heritage and social customs. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Professor Wen-Chia Liu for her leadership and support in making this exchange a success.

The University of Taipei warmly welcomes future visits from UCA and Hendrix College and looks forward to continued collaboration and meaningful academic and cultural exchanges in the years to come.
