In 2019, the Taiwanese government announced their 2030 Bilingual Policy, an attempt to increase the nation's competitiveness by making Taiwan bilingual. The two languages stated in the policy document are Mandarin and English.
In this seminar, Tzu-Bin will reflect on the first five-year practices.
This event will be particularly useful for researchers and teachers.
