Harvard Summer Academy in Taipei, Taiwan

Description

Demanding curriculum that focuses on pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary. Five hours of class per day in various modes, weekly exams and daily materials outside of class.

Intense coursework and structured program schedule leave little time for independent engagement with local community and informal conversation practice with people outside of the program. The program provides a connection to local instutition, NTU, and allows for engagement with teachers and students outside of the classroom. Students interested in improving spoken fluency, building relationships with local people, leaving the "Yale bubble", or exploring Taiwan independently should consider other programs that facilitate and allow more time for engagement with local people and culture.
