Description
Taiwan's "Bilingual by 2030" policy, set in motion in 2017, aims to achieve a Taiwanese society fluent in both Chinese and English by the end of the decade. With this ambitious undertaking, the government hopes to more deeply connect Taiwan's workforce with the world, and to attract more international businesses to Taiwan. Now that we're around seven years into this ambitious task, how is it going? As mentioned in this episode, Taiwan's Ministry of Education has provided online resources for anyone interested in teaching English in Taiwan: https://tfetp.epa.ntnu.edu.tw/en/tfetp/web/apply_now And more English-learning resources can be found on the Hope English website: https://www.hopenglish.com
