Teacher Feng-du shi, from the Thai Nguyen University who attended the camp this summer vacation, shared with us that in these short period of time （two months）, it was possible for him to understand the advantage of coming to Taiwan and getting into the amazing culture, because a few decades ago in Vietnam there was really difficult issue that was not easy to discuss about and along with it Chinese teaching skills. Regarding the Issue, In Taiwan the range of topics that can be discussed is quite wide compared to Vietnam and some examples are, the Taiwanese local conditions and customs, Aboriginal Culture, Sky lanterns, night market and the Ghost month , etc. But it gets wide and freely to discuss as plastic surgery, Genetically 'engineered' food, surrogate motherhood and death penalty, and more controversial topics, stimulating the thinking skill on the students. Regarding teaching, Chinese teachers in Taiwan use so many different ways to guide students to express themselves not matter the topic, as when is needed to work in groups for discussion, designing the menu, or even a travel plan and news discussion, etc, through this way of teaching the students are trained to be prepared to be in different context using the Chinese skill acquired.
