History

The Mandarin Training Center (MTC) was founded in 1956. It was briefly known as the Center for Chinese Language and Culture Studies from 2002-2004. The center attracts students from all parts of the world to Taiwan to study Mandarin Chinese language and literature. Students also have access to courses in Chinese calligraphy, martial arts (wushu), and traditional music and theater. Courses are offered in three-month quarterly terms throughout the year. This system enables international students to engage in intensive language study during their summer breaks and within single semesters. The MTC sponsors travel, hosts speech contests, and stages workshops and performances.

Enrollment

Over a thousand students from over sixty countries enroll for studies each year at the Mandarin Training Center. Nations represented include South Korea, Japan, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Germany, Spain, France, the UK, Kenya, South Africa, the USA, Canada, and countries in the Middle East and in Central and South America. This international presence makes the Shida area of Taipei one of the city's most cosmopolitan. The center's alumni association, the MTCAA, has been in existence since 1998.[1]
