Some of the participants in the virtual “Language & Culture Program” hosted by the National Taipei University of Education.

The Division of International Affairs of National Taipei University of Education (NTUE) in Taiwan, a partner university of CPU, hosted a virtual “Language & Culture Program” last November 15 to 18, 2021. The aim of NTUE is to enrich collaboration and networking by involving more members in their campus and from their global partners (Philippines, Vietnam, USA, Ukraine, to name a few).

In order to diversify the virtual program, NTUE invited their partner universities overseas to recommend at least two students to join the program. Two representatives from Central Philippine University joined the event. They are Quenn Colin Keith Dequiña, Bachelor of Arts in English Language Studies – 3, and Irish C. Del Rosario, Bachelor of Arts in Communication – 4. Both of them are from the Department of Languages, Mass Communication and Humanities.

Some activities of the students during the 4-day program were: Learning Mandarin, Calligraphy, Chinese Opera Mask-making, Project work discussions and presentations.

Ms. Irish del Rosario of CPU, together with her groupmates from other countries, won “Best Presentation” on the last day of their class.

This event is part of the internationalization program of CPU’s Office of International Relations and Cooperation headed by its Director, Ms. Leilani Fatimah L. Trompeta.
