This course is designed to enhance students' understanding of the shape of Taiwan society and culture and of ability representing Taiwan in international communication. Rather than a sociology and cultural studies, this course is history class. The main idea is from what Taiwan was to understand what Taiwan is and will be. This course is mainly a lecture but mixed in-class discussion. This course highly encourages students to discuss multiple topics to help students to further understand Taiwan. By taking this course, students will be expected to answer three questions: what was Taiwan, what is Taiwan, what Taiwan will be? Students will be required to read materials and readings in advance, and these materials will include primary sources and secondary sources. By reading and analyzing these materials, this course expects students to understand the culture and society behind these materials. All activities will be conducted in English, and instructor highly encourages students to give your opinions and ideas to contribute to this course in English in any time. In each class, students will be required to read at least one academic article. Also, the instructor might assign a primary text, a video, or a picture as the core of each class to direct students to discuss culture and society in Taiwan. This course is welcome students to share your opinions, experiences, and ideas in any time. By taking this course, I inspire students to know Taiwan, in a broader definition, more deeply and to construct a crystal clear view of culture and society in Taiwan.
English-language ability is required, preferably intermediate level or above.
