History
      During internationalization, the contact, study and application of foreign languages has become the new generation's way of life. Though English is the main international language, but because Japan and Taiwan are geographically, historically, and economically close to each other Japanese has become the next most popular foreign language here. Seeing this, our university established the Department of Applied Japanese Language. The establishment of our department is dedicated to developing Japanese applying personnel, strengthening personal abilities and promoting a global view helping students match the needs of this internationalizing world.

       Da-Yeh University's Department of Applied Japanese Language was approved for admitting students by the Ministry of Education in 1990 and started participating in the joined national college student recruitment, as well as taking up the responsibility of the planning and establishing of the whole university's Japanese curriculum. Then, in 2006 the Department of Applied Japanese Language started to recruit Japanese group graduate students into the Graduate Institute of Applied Linguistics.

Purpose

　  Our department's uses an omnibearing direction of development to nurture "Japan experts". Using Japanese culture as our aim, we expect students to be active in Japanese educational, academic research and economic arenas and further becoming their backbone members. Our department using internationalization as guide has been cooperating with Japan's Gakushuin University Japanese Language department's in the fields of teaching and teachers as well as many other prestigious schools. In the field of student education to strengthen our student's Japanese abilities and broaden their international vision we have since the June of 2001 been sister schools with Japan's Meikai University allowing juniors and seniors to study abroad for a semester as exchange students.

Curriculum Features
      The Department of Applied Japanese Language does not only emphasis the development of language listening, speaking, reading and writing abilities but also basic literature and culture, such as traditions and religions, making students not only able to speak fluent Japanese but also truly understand Japan, becoming "Japan experts".

      Besides the regular methods of teaching we are also cooperating with Meikai University using transnational international video-teaching to teach students. Through live video feeds students have chances to chat directly with local Japanese students, naturally this enhances the student's Japanese language skills. And besides in-class-education our department is also actively leading all sorts of Japanese related activities, such as the annual Japanese graduation dramas, Japanese speech contests and etc. as well as holding Japanese cultural Bon dance festival activities during the anniversary school founding celebrations, letting students practice and present their Japanese, making them come to love the language.

Here you will find administrative computers, printers, projectors, document cameras, portable audios, digital cameras, television units and other kinds of equipment that can be borrowed by the teachers and students for class, department held lectures, new arrival ceremonies, seminars and other kinds of activities. In the department reception area there is a number of public computers and printers provided for the students to search for information, print reports, homework, and papers.

      The tatami matted classroom is a 90 mats large Japanese style space equipped with a Japanese kotatsu table, leather zabuton pillows, bbok shelves, shoes cases, lockers. It is used for classes such as "Japanese Tea Ceremony and Ikebana", "Japanese Society and Culture", "Japanese drama", activities such as Japanese tea ceremonies during the anniversary school-founding celebrations and Japanese week, as well as a space which students can study in.
