Words from the Chair

August 1, 2019

Dear FLLD Freshmen,

In September you will enroll in college and begin a new chapter in your life. Many of you, no doubt, feel excited about this opportunity, but some of you may also be a bit nervous about what the future may hold.

At this important time in your life, I would like to assure you that all of us here at Tunghai will do everything we can to help you achieve your goals. The Tunghai Department of Foreign Languages and Literature has been in existence since 1955 and has a tradition of excellence in teaching undergraduate students. We are one of the biggest departments on campus (with more than twenty fulltime teachers) and have a lot of resources for our students. In recent years, for example, with the help of our alumni, we have been able to create scholarships for students and every year several students enroll in summer school in the United Kingdom (including Cambridge University) with full tuition scholarships.

I am confident, therefore, that the Tunghai FLLD is an exciting place for young people where you will acquire skills that will serve you well in the years and decades to come. You may not be entirely sure about your goals at this stage, but we will offer you interesting educational challenges and a fruitful journey of searching and discovering. The world in which we live is increasingly global and, as our many thousands of alumni can testify, the FLLD's courses and programs prepare you for this ever more global world.

I look forward to seeing you in Tunghai in the near future and would be happy to answer any questions you may have at this time. Should you wish to contact us, you may call Ms. Chuang Meihua at (04) 23590121 #31201 or myself at (04) 2359-0121 #31220 or write to daisych@thu.edu.tw (Ms. Chuang) or hvynck@thu.edu.tw (Henk Vynckier).

Sincerely,

Dr. Henk Vynckier

Professor and Chair, Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures
Tunghai University, Taichung Taiwan
