NTU Multi-Language Exchange
Our objective:
Learning a language can be a costly undertaking, especially when it comes to
writing and speaking practice. Good written materials and online audio and
video resources are easily available in many languages, so reading and
listening practice in the target language can be done on one's own without
too much help from others. Writing and speaking practice, on the other hand,
require someone to give you feedback and corrections. Privately-arranged
one-to-one language exchanges are free, but their effectiveness is limited.
Our objective is to offer, at minimum expense, a flexible platform for
language exchange that focuses on speaking ability. Through diverse
activities, members can spend pleasant hours not just their polishing
language skills but also making friends. We invite everybody interested to
come and enjoy the activities of our club - and to bring your friends!
Club activities:
1. Conversation in different languages:
Club members choose a group in which their target language, e.g. English or
French, is spoken. Each group is assigned a leader who excels in the target
language, and who provides topics and materials for discussion. Club members
are free to join different groups based on their needs and interests. Group
members are expected to communicate only in the target language of the group
they have joined. Through this exchange, group members can learn new words,
expressions, and correct grammatical usage in the target language, and maybe
pick up some interesting cultural background as well.
2. Language exchanges:
For those wishing to practice their Chinese, the club can help set up an
individual language exchange with a club member or members.
3. Language Courses:
The club will offer a variety of language courses taught by skilled club
members or non-member instructors.
