To encourage U.S. students to interact with local Taiwanese people and improve their daily Chinese communication skills during their stay in Taiwan, we are looking for Taiwanese families who are interested in American culture and willing to welcome international students into their homes.
This is also a great opportunity for Taiwanese host families to meet international students, learn about different cultures, and share their daily lives.
