Bachelor Program in Innovative Teaching Chinese as a Second Language (ITCSL Program) is a four-year program for international students. Here are 5 things you may want to know.

創新華語文教學學士學位學程是專為國際生設立、相當於大學科系的4年制學程，以下是華語學程的介紹。

1. If I don't know any Chinese, can I still apply for the ITCSL program? 

如果不懂華語，是否能夠申請就讀？

YES! If you are a complete beginner with no knowledge of Chinese, the ITCSL program offers 40 required credits and 20 elective credits in 2 years.

來！你來！華語學程規劃在大一、大二開設華語文能力課程，共有40個必修學分以及20個選修學分提供給零基礎的華語學習者。

2. The ITCSL program requires 40 credits of Chinese language proficiency, I have studied Chinese before and don't need to take those courses, will the ITCSL program be a good choice for me?

華語學程規劃40個華語文能力必修學分，如果先前已經學過華語，還適合申請就讀嗎？

YES! If you've studied Chinese before, you can apply for a credit waiver and transfer of up to 40 credits. You can choose your preferred courses from the Cultural Chinese Group or Business Chinese Group offered by various departments at National Taipei University. Courses accepted for credits are listed here:

• Cultural Chinese Group: https://reurl.cc/rLd7xb
• Business Chinese Group: https://reurl.cc/jlMn7L

來！你來！如果已經學過華語，不論程度為何，皆可申請抵免與免修多達40學分，並選修本學程「文化華語學群」與「商務華語學群」中的課程代替。這兩個學群所列出的課程由臺北大學人文學院與商學院開設。學群選修課程如表列：

• 文化華語學群: https://reurl.cc/rLd7xb
• 商務華語學群: https://reurl.cc/jlMn7L

3. If I am really not interested in Chinese language and teaching, can I change my major?

如果申請就讀之後，發現沒有興趣是否可以轉系？

YES! Students in the ITCSL program can change their major if they are interested in other departments.

來！你來！走！你走！臺北大學華語學程，來去皆由你。

4. If I don't know what I want to study and I just feel attracted to the Chinese culture with the atmosphere of freedom and democracy in Taiwan, what choice do I have?

如果現階段對自我的認識不足，不確定想要就讀的科系，只想到臺灣來體驗一下大學生活，有什麼合適的選擇？

For beginners in Chinese, the ITCSL program offers courses on Chinese language skills; for advanced learners, the ITCSL program is equivalent to the "Department of Chinese Literature and History" or "Department of Business and Management" for international students; for those who just want to study in Taiwan, the ITCSL program serves as a language institute. With such high flexibility in course arrangement, the ITCSL program is your best choice!

對於華語零基礎的學生，華語學程提供從入門到高階的華語課程；對於已有華語基礎的學生，華語學程相當於「國際生專屬的文史學系」、「國際生專屬的商務管理學系」；而對於未來動態不明，邊走邊想的學生，華語學程可以是語言學校。還有什麼比臺北大學華語學程更好的選擇？

5. What are the tuition fees?

學費怎麼收？

Tuition fees are NTD 45,691 / USD 1,523 (USD 1≒NTD 30) per semester and there are two semesters in an academic year.

臺灣的大學學制一學年有兩學期，臺北大學境外生收費標準為每學期新台幣 45,691 元。

P.S. Given the popularity of business Chinese and the fact that it should be easier to find a job as a business Chinese teacher, the administration of ITCSL has worked to integrate the profound resources of the College of Business at the National Taipei University. That's why we've made minor revisions to the previous curriculum plan.

說明：考量到商務華語的熱門程度，以及華語文教師若是具有相當的專業商務管理背景會更具競爭力，ITCSL 的行政團隊努力整合臺北大學商學院豐富的學習資源，這是我們此次對於課程規劃進行微調的原因。
