The Overseas Community Affairs Council Expands the Overseas Network of Mandarin Teaching and Announces the 2024 List of Newly Established “Taiwan Center for Mandarin Learning (TCML)” The Overseas Community Affairs Council, R.O.C. (Taiwan) (OCAC) recently released the list of 21 new establishments of “Taiwan Center for Mandarin Learning (TCML)” for the upcoming year (2024). The list includes 14 centers in the United States, 2 in Italy, and 1 each in the United Kingdom, Belgium, Spain, Poland, and the Netherlands. The OCAC has stated that, to expand its presence in the overseas Mandarin learning market and share the distinctive features of Mandarin teaching in Taiwan, it has formulated the “Overseas Mandarin Learning Cultivation Plan.” The primary focus is the United States and Europe. Leveraging the networks of overseas compatriot communities and educators, the OCAC has set up the TCMLs worldwide. These TCMLs aim to enroll individuals from non-Mandarin-speaking backgrounds in the local communities, and over the past three years, the centers have attracted over 5,000 participants, demonstrating tangible progress in promoting Mandarin learning. This year, overseas compatriot schools and organizations enthusiastically applied for the establishment of new TCML. After convening a review meeting, a total of twenty-one applications were approved, including Tzu Chi Academy, San Dimas, San Diego Chinese Academy, EFCI Chinese School, San Mateo County Chinese School, Tzu Chi Academy, San Mateo, Tzu Chi Academy, Washington D. C., Tzu Chi Long Island Education Center, Pittsburgh Tzu Chi Academy, Plainview Chinese Learning center Inc, Houston Taiwan Institute for Senior Citizens (HTISC), Sun Ray Chinese School, Buddha's Light Private School, Little Rock Chinese School, Formosa Plastics Chinese School from the United States, Associazione Taiwan e Italia (ATI), Associazione Culturale Taiwanesi in Italia from Italy, Taiwan Buddhist Compassion Relief Tzu Chi Foundation UK Limited from the United Kingdom, Taiwan Mandarin Association in Belgium from Belgium, Asociación Cultural Educativa de los chinos de ultramar en Madrid from Spain, Taiwan Culture and Language Exchange Association from Poland and Taiwan Business Families in the South Netherlands from the Netherlands. The OCAC initiated the “Establishment Program for Taiwan Center for Mandarin Learning” in 2021. By 2023, 66 centers have been set up across 54 locations in the United States, 2 each in the United Kingdom, Germany, and France, and 1 each in Austria, Ireland, Sweden, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Belgium. In 2024, an additional 21 centers will be added, enhancing the comprehensive promotion system of Taiwan’s Mandarin learning. In recent years, Taiwan Mandarin learning courses around the world have attracted local businesses and governments for various collaborations. The relevant achievements have also received recognition and support from the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT). The aim is to promote the beauty of Mandarin globally through these TCMLs, engaging with mainstream communities in Europe and America, and actively sharing Taiwan's Mandarin learning education. This initiative not only provides opportunities for adult learners in these mainstream communities to learn Mandarin with Taiwanese characteristics but also invites young learners of TCML from Europe and America to participate in Language Study Program, Taiwan Study Tour, English Teaching Volunteer Service Program for Overseas Youth in Taiwan. These approaches allow learners to directly experience Taiwanese culture and life, promoting mutual cultural exchange and language learning. These activities also contribute to achieving the goal of the “Bilingual 2030.”
