First Director on 64 Years of Chinese
Professor Albert Dien, Stanford professor emeritus and the first director, returned to Taipei and toured ICLP on June 1. He spoke about his experiences as a student of Chinese and head of one of the earliest Chinese training programs in Taiwan. Professor Dien is now in his eighties and his speech offers a rare and truly vivid early account of the study of Chinese as a foreign language from a man who helped shape the field. What follows is a transcript.
台灣新客 New Visitors to Taiwan
每到鳳凰花開，蟬鳴聒噪的時候，也就是本所暑期班開始的時候。火紅繽紛的鳳凰花樹與高潮迭起的蟬鳴，正如張燈結綵與鑼鼓、銅鈸、嗩吶交織而成的喜慶景象，為的是迎接一批批台灣新客的到來。
In Taiwan, the blooming of the Royal Poinciana flowers and the singing of cicadas signal the arrival of summer and the beginning of the ICLP summer program. The decorated scene naturally paints itself as if preparing to welcome our new visitors to Taiwan.
A Certain Four Letters
ECFA...
Although memorizing dialogues from Everyday Far Eastern Chinese or the protracted sentence patterns of Thought and Society has its masochistic appeal, new students, no doubt harried by their first two weeks of intense Chinese training, are probably ready to test the mettle of their growing vocabularies outside the classroom.
