Tunghai University-News-- Tunghai University collaborating with Princeton University’s PiA program to hire international professors.
To improve the average English ability of Tunghai’s students and support English curriculum revision, Tunghai will recruit four American and South African teachers as of 2017, to be selected in accordance with PiA’s strict standards. Tunghai hopes that by increasing the number of native English-speaking teachers, the campus will become more international. Students can therefore have more chances to speak with native English speakers.
PiA serves as a bridge between American and Asian education. The CEO, Ms. Maggie Dillon, and the Director, Mr. Alex Jones, visited Tunghai in November 2016, and signed a long-term partnership agreement.
This renewed collaboration between Tunghai University and Princeton-in-Asia has a profound historical significance. The original bond between PiA and China came to an end during the civil war in China. Once Tunghai University was founded in Taichung, Taiwan, in 1955 it became PiA’s channel to restart its involvement in Asia. For Princeton University, therefore, Tunghai was key to its efforts to rebuild its Asian programs, while PiA was Tunghai’s most important asset in terms of its development of English language education in the early days.
Professor Walter Den from the International College visited the east coast of the United States in June, and visited PiA at Princeton University, accompanied by outstanding alumni, including Jin-Shan Yang. Maggie Dillon noted at this occasion that PiA cherishes its historical bonds with Tunghai University and held a luncheon to welcome Professor Den and former PiA Tunghai instructors. During the luncheon, the program alumni exchanged memories and stories of their days in Tunghai; many affirmed that their years at Tunghai had been important for their career development. Professor Den, moreover, expressed his appreciation for PiA’s contribution to educational exchange between Western and Eastern culture, while congratulating PiA for moving to a new headquarter in the International Building on the Princeton campus. He further expressed his gratitude for the continued support which the PiA’s Tunghai alumni have been giving Tunghai, and discussed the current development of the International College. He finally hoped that the renewed collaboration with Tunghai would continue a long time and inspire new generations of students.
