Shih Chien University Chinese Language Center

Shih Chien University’s Chinese Language Center is based in the university’s Dazhi campus in Taipei. The centre is on the third floor of Building B, at Dazhi Street in Zhongshan district. Its programme combines regular Mandarin classes with opportunities to interact with local students and explore Taiwanese culture.

Daytime and evening Mandarin

The quarterly Chinese programme follows a weekday morning schedule in the published course information. It provides a consistent study routine for learners who want language learning to be a central part of their stay. An evening programme offers a different rhythm for students with commitments during the day.

The two formats should be compared by their full term calendar and weekly attendance requirements. A learner who can attend only selected evenings should confirm the current class level and meeting days instead of assuming the daytime course can simply be taken part-time.

Learning through local connections

The centre describes a language-partner programme intended to help international students practise Chinese and become familiar with life in Taiwan. Its cultural activities have included festival events, field trips and exchanges with local students. The particular opportunities available depend on the programme and term.

Dazhi provides a campus setting for combining Mandarin lessons with daily interaction beyond class. When planning a course, consider both the formal teaching schedule and the time available for independent practice or language exchange. This can help make a university-based stay more than a sequence of classroom sessions.
