The Language and Culture Study Group from NTNU’s Sister University in Japan, Utsunomiya University, was led by Dr. Kimimasa MATSKANE of International Studies . 10 students received a 3-week language and culture training from Aug. 17 to Sep. 7 given by Mandarin Training Center（MTC）. They were taught by two teachers in separate classes and gave a final presentation at 2:30pm, Sep. 5. Prof. Iping Liang, Director of Division of Academic Cooperation, was invited to attend the presentation. She made a brief speech expressing her wish for the students and expecting them to keep learning Chinese Mandarin even after they go back to Japan. The presentation began right after the gifts exchange between Dr. MATSKANE and Prof. Liang. The students sang several songs in chorus and shared what they’d learned in Mandarin with the illustration of slides. They made the presentation interesting and fun. In the end, each student received a copy of CD-Rom from MTC, which recorded the group life in Taiwan. The whole language and culture training course ended in such a pleasant atmosphere that it will surely be unforgettable for everyone.
