Education and Training Awards 2020

Jun20398 Best Chinese Language School - Taiwan Established in the second half of 2009, Taiwan Mandarin Institute is the first and only Mandarin Chinese Language organization across the entirety of Taiwan. Not content to simply be a national symbol of education and training, the school quickly grew to become known as one of the leading schools that provided Chinese language courses across South East Asia as a whole. Now, we take a look at the school and its courses to learn more about what it offers to students looking to broaden their horizons. Within education and development, learning a new language or several can open many different avenues and options for those looking to expand their careers, pathways, or even wider lives. Many people love going on holiday abroad, and being able to speak the native language is a perfect way to meet and greet the locals. Taiwan Mandarin Institute is the first, and only school within Taiwan that offers language courses specifically designed to teach the Chinese language. Since being established, the school has become renowned for its high quality, superb, and native Mandarin teachers who are equipped to teach any student of varying learning ability. The school itself offers an excellent location, with a vast array of school-owned accommodation options. As a result, Taiwan Mandarin Institute has quickly become one of the most trusted, reputable, and outstanding education and training facilities amongst its various university partners and referring agents. Since its foundation, the overall mission of the Taiwan Mandarin Institute has remained largely the same, though it has taken various different steps over the years to continue to achieve it in different ways. Innovation is integrated seamlessly into every aspect of the training and education that the school provides. For the last ten years, Taiwan Mandarin Institute has been tirelessly on providing a curriculum that is a hybrid of Mandarin and Chinese, whilst also ensuring that it has been providing it in both simplified and traditional formats. Every single student learns in different ways, whether it be kinaesthetic or audio-visual. In 2016, the leadership team at Taiwan Mandarin Institute achieved its goal of having a curriculum that could be taught either as a simplified version, or in a more traditional format. All students who arrive at the Taiwan Mandarin Institute now have the choice to choose whichever format they wish, such as Simplified Characters (Mainland China), or Traditional Characters (Taiwan). In order to stand out in the field of education and training, there must be key differentiators that identify Taiwan Mandarin Institute as a centre truly worthy of recognition, and as the best possible option for potential students. Taiwan Mandarin Institute has many of these key differentiators, marking it out as an ideal destination for students of all kinds and ability levels. At the time it was established, the school was the first in Taiwan to introduce the flexible weekly starting Intensive Class, as well as flexible one-to-one lessons where the student can choose the topic, online lessons, and various other courses. Not only is the school pioneering the field of teaching Chinese, but also flexible teaching methods that further welcome students in ways that they learn best. For many students, their school experience is about more than just the classroom and the education content that they are absorbing on a daily basis. It is also about the cultural and social experiences that make up time at school. Learning about societal norms, history, and modern culture is all a part of what makes any educational experience memorable. In addition to its pioneering and excellent academic offerings, qualities, and leadership team, Taiwan Mandarin Institute’s cultural and accommodation services are also leading the market in Taiwan. On top of the time spent actively learning, Taiwan Mandarin Institute also boosts education with more than fifteen hours per week of free cultural activities led by a local tour guide, and fifty different accommodation options all within ten minutes’ walk to class. The education and development industry is very different in many parts of the world, and each comes with its own specific challenges and influences that impact on the way knowledge is imparted to students. The main education style in Taiwan and much of South East Asia is traditional, though the majority of visiting students to Taiwan actually want to continue their studies, and therefore look to learn in the simplified format that the school offers. If students were to choose other schools of universities in Taiwan, they might find themselves wasting a vast amount of class time, as some teachers and institutions are rigid in their teaching methodology. Students would end up finding out that they would simply be writing long and traditional characters daily in class, rather than practicing the speaking and listening elements to language, and using the writing method of Pinyin. A key part of the education process is the teachers. A good teacher can make an education experience truly memorable, and help the students achieve their goals by the time the curriculum has run its course. The internal culture within Taiwan Mandarin Institute ensures that all of its staff are equipped to provide the best possible support to every student. The teaching faculty of more than twenty full-time teachers all have at least a degree or master’s degree of Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language from one of the top universities in Taiwan. On the administration side, the excellence is just as evident. The school is very proud to have a fully-staffed and serviced reception, which is always available to help all students with any questions or queries that they may have. In addition to the full range of services that the reception staff at Taiwan Mandarin Institute has, there is also an Academic Manager, Cultural Manager, Accommodation Manager, and professional cleaner. Each manager takes care of the various aspects of life at the institute, and the cleaner always ensures that every environment is totally clean, especially bedrooms for the students living onsite. Looking to the future, education will no doubt continue to be truly excellent at Taiwan Mandarin Institute. For the past six years, the school has been developing its own textbook series, based around teaching students both beginner and advanced levels of Chinese. Due to be released this year, it is certainly an exciting time for everyone at Taiwan Mandarin Institute. The new textbook series is sure to become widely used across the globe, having already received top feedback from quality Chinese language professors based in the United States who are anticipating its release. Aside from the textbook, education will continue. As it does so, Taiwan Mandarin Institute is set to maintain its pioneering position as a centre of educational excellence.
