Sorry I don't know the answer. Maybe someone else who reads the blog can help. You could also have a look at the blog <a href="http://formosaneijia.com/" rel="nofollow">Formosa Neijia</a> which is about martial arts in Taiwan. Hi Kiko, thanks for your question.

There is a wide range of countries represented and most are from non-English speaking countries. The atmosphere in class is good. People are interested in the subject and involve themselves in debate. If you send me an e-mail I can answer your questions in more detail.

It has become a rich resource of information for me. I have also been following up on your posts about the Taiwan Studies course in NCCU, which I am considering to take this year or next. I understand that the main language used in the classroom is English, which I found quite suprising, because I always thought that course would be primarily for Taiwanese students. I would like to know if the foreign students there are (as far as you can tell) all from English speaking countries or others as well? And how would you describe the general atmosphere in class? I know, it's hard to make a prediction about any other future classes, it's just that I have been to Taiwan before studying Chinese there for a year, and sometimes I didn't quite enjoy the atmosphere in class, because some students there seemed not to have come for really learning languages if you know what I mean. Some friends of mine had similar experiences, so I was wondering if that kind of "problem" can still be found in an MA program. Thanks a lot in advance and keep up the good work! Hello David,

I was hoping you'd get around to writing about this eventually. If I had known about the program before I came here, I would have strongly considered it as well. Glad to see the courses went well.
