University's Involvement in Bridging Language and Cultural Gaps among Immigrants
ChanLin, Lih-Juan; Tseng, Sheng-Yi
Online Submission
Language and cultural support for immigrant workers is needed in Taiwan due to the increasing foreign employment in recent years. Adopting the concept of university social responsibility, educating immigrants in language and cultural learning encourages university members to solve societal problems, and to help the community meet the needs of the changing society. In this study, activities for empowering immigrants' learning abilities were implemented as a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) approach by a university in northern Taiwan. To analyze the implementation process and participants' responses to the approach, observations and teaching records were analyzed. Several themes were summarized, including "Volunteer training," "Managing activities," "Integration of pedagogy," and "Inter-institutional relationships." Immigrant participants also reacted positively toward the learning opportunity based on CRS criteria and teaching evaluation.
