The course is designed to maximize your language acquisition with five hours of class (lectures, drill sections, and a one-on-one session) Monday through Thursday, from morning to early afternoon. Exams are held every Friday, and a variety of assignments and assessment methods are employed. We also provide increased scaffolding to make learning more focused, targeted, and personalized, which helps reduce workload and balance rigorous language learning with opportunities to explore Taipei on your own.
