The following is a digest of lectures offered in English and Japanese at National Taiwan University.
These lectures focus on themes related to Taiwan, so students can learn more about Taiwan in more detail there. Furthermore, since many international students from around the world attend these lectures, they also provide an opportunity to learn about the differences in culture and society between different countries.
Another key point is that students can expect to improve their English skills as well as their Chinese!
In the latter half of each video, we interview an international student who is actually attending the lecture, so please take a look at that as well.
