The Ministry of Education promotes language learning camps for new residents to create an immersive multilingual environment

Integrate multiple languages ​​and cultures into student life! The Ministry of Education has joined hands with primary and secondary schools across the country to create an immersive language learning environment through camp-type courses that combine summer learning and cultural experiences. Last year, 103 schools in 14 counties and cities offered 7 languages, with a total of 1,420 students participating, to promote students' multicultural literacy and cross-cultural learning abilities.

The National Education Bureau of the Ministry of Education continues to promote the "New Residents Chinese Language Learning Activities". As of this year, a total of approximately 15.8 million yuan has been subsidized, and a total of 5,470 students and 460 parents have participated. It not only allows students to naturally acquire language and understand cultural connotations in real interactive situations, but also continues to expand the influence of new residents' Chinese education.

Last year, Yilan County, Kinmen County, Pingtung County, Miaoli County, Taoyuan City, Kaohsiung City, Keelung City, Yunlin County, New Taipei City, Chiayi County, Changhua County, Taichung City, Taitung County and Tainan City organized language and music camps for new residents. The languages ​​include Vietnamese, Indonesian, Filipino, Thai, Cambodian, Malay and Burmese. In each school, new resident language teaching support teachers and teachers jointly plan courses, combining activities such as daily life conversation, food making, children's play, singing and dancing, and festival culture, so that students can improve their language skills and cultural understanding through "learning by doing, learning by playing."

Taking Taichung City's Da Hsin Elementary School as an example, the camp introduced Vietnamese customs, festivals and education systems, combined with practical activities such as painting bucket hats, making lanterns, Vietnamese calligraphy and special cuisine, to guide students to compare the cultural differences between Taiwan and Vietnam and cultivate cross-cultural understanding; Taoyuan City's Zhongli Senior High School used Vietnamese conversation combined with history, customs and food culture courses to improve students' daily communication skills and enhance their understanding and application of Vietnamese culture.

The National Education Department stated that the Chinese Language and Learning Camp for New Residents not only enhances students' interest in language learning, but also cultivates an attitude of respecting differences and appreciating diversity through cultural experiences, helping new residents' children deepen their cultural identity and allowing more students to expand their international horizons. In the future, we will continue to encourage local governments and schools to develop camp courses with local characteristics, deepen the achievements of Chinese education for new residents, and enhance students' cross-cultural literacy and global competitiveness.
