113年參訪淡江大學及國防大學

應外系參訪 第一天 
本次陸軍官校應用外語系學生有幸參訪淡江大學外語學院，並與該校的師生共同參與了一場別開生面的學術與文化交流課程。在這次參訪活動中，淡江大學的一位講師特別分享了她在西班牙巴塞隆納擔任導遊的珍貴經歷，帶領我們展開了一場充滿藝術與文化氣息的虛擬旅行。
講師以她豐富的見聞與深厚的文化知識，細緻地介紹了巴塞隆納這座城市的歷史、藝術與建築魅力。從高第的標誌性作品聖家堂到畢卡索博物館，以及古老的哥德區，無一不展示了這座城市多層次的文化底蘊。她強調，巴塞隆納不僅是一座擁有世界級地標的城市，更是一座文化與生活氛圍交織而成的藝術寶庫。
除了耳熟能詳的地標與熱鬧的市集，講師還特別提到巴塞隆納各個區域獨特的節慶與人文特色，這裡的街道充滿文藝氣息，匯聚了書店、手作皮革店與咖啡廳等創意小店，同時展現出當地人悠閒自得的生活方式。在這個區域行走，彷彿可以深刻感受到巴塞隆納豐富且多元的城市脈搏。
講師還提到，哥德區是巴塞隆納歷史的核心，它擁有超過兩千年的遺跡，見證了城市從羅馬時期到現代的歷史發展。而恩典區則以其充滿藝術氣息的氛圍賦予了巴塞隆納一種新生的生命力。無論是充滿創意的建築風格還是當地人的日常生活，都讓人對這座城市充滿向往。
在這場分享中，講師也提及了西班牙獨特的飲食文化，特別是以Tapas為代表的美食記憶點。透過多樣化的小吃文化，我們得以一窺當地人的飲食習慣與生活態度。這種結合美食、藝術與歷史的城市魅力，讓我不僅從不同的角度重新認識巴塞隆納，也重新思考了語言學習與文化交流的價值。
這次參訪活動帶給我的不僅是知識上的豐富，更是一種文化感知的提升。透過講師的生動分享，我們深刻感受到語言與文化的緊密聯繫，並對探索世界、了解不同文化有了更多的渴望。
應外系參訪 第二天
第二天的參訪，我們去到位於北投復興崗的國防大學國際與國防事務學院、國防大學遠朋國建班、國防大學語文中心參訪。
第一站我們到國防大學國際與國防事務學院，一進到裡面就要用全英文來溝通，姚副教授說明，國防大學國際與國防事務學院是為了要為深化國家安全與戰略研究的學術研究能量，培育國際安全事務與溝通談判的優秀軍官幹部，新學院設有戰略研究所與國際安全研究所等兩個研究所，以肆應國防事務實需，建立國防外交及軍文交流的多元教育平臺。近期中共持續強化對我軍事威懾作為，運用網路戰及認知作戰等手段，企圖消耗我方戰力；他期勉該院學員們把握進修機會，以嚴謹的學術訓練，強化哲學思考，學習科學方法，協助決策判斷，使哲學、科學與兵學三者融合應用，進而達成建軍備戰的使命。
第二站我們到國防大學遠朋國建班，在執行長的帶領之下，我們了解到遠朋國建班存在的重要性！首先此國建班是加強與民主國家合作，共同維護區域和平穩定；共同促進彼此國家的進步發展，也成為推動國際和平與穩定的關鍵力量。
最後一站我們到達國防大學語文中心，在語言中心陳主任的自我介紹之下，他精通英文及阿拉伯文並且有多次的外派經驗，鼓勵我們要能夠精進自我能力、累積好自己的實力，才能夠在機會到來的時候把握住機會！以上就是此次的參訪心得。

Off-Campus Visits Day 1:
We had the privilege of visiting the College of
Foreign Languages and Literatures at Tamkang University. We are honored to
participate in an extraordinary academic and cultural exchange session with the
university’s faculty and students. During the visit, a lecturer from Tamkang
University shared her invaluable experiences as a tour guide in Barcelona, Spain,
showing us her love to Barcelona.
Drawing on her extensive knowledge and rich
experiences, the lecturer provided a detailed introduction to Barcelona’s
history, art, and architectural wonders. From Gaudí’s iconic masterpiece, the
Sagrada Família, the Picasso Museum to the historic Gothic Quarter, every
aspect of the city revealed its multifaceted cultural depth. She emphasized
that Barcelona is not merely a city of world-renowned landmarks but also a
treasure trove where culture and daily life intricately intertwine.
Beyond the well-known landmarks and bustling
markets, the lecturer highlighted the unique festivals and cultural features of
Barcelona. The streets of Barcelona are imbued with an artistic atmosphere,
home to creative shops such as bookstores, handmade leather workshops, and cozy
cafés, while reflecting the leisurely lifestyle of the locals. Walking through
these areas, one can truly feel the vibrant and diverse pulse of the city.
The lecturer also described the Gothic Quarter
as the historical heart of Barcelona bears over two thousand years of relics
and to witness the city’s evolution from the Roman era to the present.
Meanwhile, the Gràcia district, with its artistic ambiance, brings new life
into the city. Those elements present a deep sense of admiration toward
Barcelona.
During the session, the lecturer also touched
upon Spain’s unique culinary culture, particularly Tapas, which serve as a
distinctive culinary highlight. Through this diverse small-plate dining
culture, we gained insights into the eating habits and lifestyle of the locals.
This seamless blend of cuisine, art, and history showcases the city’s charm and
allows us to rediscover Barcelona from multiple perspectives and reconsider the
values of language learning and cultural exchange.
This visit provided not only an enrichment of
knowledge but also a heightened cultural awareness. Through the lecturer’s
vivid storytelling, we deeply felt the intrinsic connection between language
and culture, sparking a greater desire to explore the world and its diverse
cultures.
Off-Campus Visits Day 2 
On the second day of our visit, we traveled to
the National Defense University (NDU) located in Fuxinggang, Beitou. We had the
opportunity to visit the College of International and National Defense Affairs
(INDAC), National Development course (MOFA), and National Defense University
Language Center. This enlightening and inspiring journey offered us a deeper
understanding of the significance and multifaceted aspects of national defense
education.
First Stop: College of International and
National Defense Affairs (INDAC) at National Defense University
Our first stop was the College of International
and National Defense Affairs (INDAC). From the moment we stepped into the
college, we were required to communicate entirely in English, immersing us in
an internationalized academic environment. Associate Professor Yau introduced
the college’s background and mission, explaining that the college is dedicated
to advancing research on national security and strategies while cultivating
outstanding military officers in international security and negotiation skills.
The college includes the Graduate Institute of Strategic Studies and the
Graduate Institute of International Security, providing a diverse educational
platform to enhance defense diplomacy and military-civilian exchanges.
Professor Yau also highlighted the increasing
military threats from China, including cyber warfare and cognitive operations,
which aim to weaken our defensive capabilities. He encouraged the students of
the college and us to seize the opportunity for rigorous academic training to
strengthen philosophical thinking, master scientific methods, and integrate
philosophy, science, and military strategy to support decision-making and
fulfill the mission of national defense readiness. This insightful session gave
us a deeper appreciation for the academic depth of defense education and an
understanding that national defense research requires not only tactical
considerations but also strategic thinking about the country’s future security
and development. 
Second Stop: National Development Course (MOFA)
Next, we visited the National Development Course
(MOFA), where the director guided us through the facilities and explained its
significance. This course plays a critical role in fostering international
collaboration with democratic nations to maintain regional peace and stability.
The director emphasized that National Development Course (MOFA) actively
promotes progress and development among participating nations and serves as a
key force in advancing global peace and stability.
The curriculum of the course encompasses
international affairs, strategic cooperation, and cultural exchange, fostering
mutual understanding and support among participating countries. This effort not
only strengthens Taiwan’s diplomatic capabilities but also contributes to the
broader cause of global peace. The major role in bridging nations through
education and dialogue left a profound impression upon us.
Third Stop: National Defense University Language
Center
Our final stop was the National Defense
University Language Center, where we listened to a presentation by Director
Chen. Fluent in both English and Arabic, and with extensive overseas
experience, Director Chen shared his journey and encouraged us to continuously
enhance our language skills and professional expertise. He emphasized that
language learning is not just a tool for communication but also a key to
understanding different cultures and building international connections. He
inspired us to develop a global perspective and leverage language skills to
broaden our horizons.
We also learned about the National Defense
University Language Center’s diverse educational resources, including practical
training for overseas assignments and cultural language courses designed to
meet various communication needs. The center aims to cultivate talents with
exceptional international communication abilities, contributing to the nation’s
diplomatic and defense efforts.
Reflection
This visit provided us with a profound
understanding of the importance of national defense education. From research on
international security to promoting multilateral cooperation and enhancing
language proficiency, each stop demonstrated NDU’s dedication to nurturing
talents, strengthening national defense, and fostering international
collaboration.
Moreover, I realized that whether it is through
language learning or strategic studies, only by pursuing excellence and
accumulating professional knowledge can we truly contribute to our nation’s
future. This visit was not just an academic inspiration but also an experience
that broadened our global perspective and deepened our appreciation for
national defense education.

The Department of Foreign Languages of ROCMA has just held an impromptu speech contest for English majors, and a speech contest for non-English majors. These English speech contests aim to examine the students’ organizational structure, speech delivery, stage performance, English proficiency and the international view. Professor Harrison Wang from Department of Foreign languages commented, "The participants have done a remarkable performance, which shows their dedication and hard work from both the teachers and the cadets. In addition, it would be better to use gestures, variations in tone, and eye contact when giving a speech."
