Foreign Language Teaching Assistants (TAs)
Since the academic year 2007, our department has employed Foreign Language Teaching Assistants (TAs) for the first time, and they have received unanimous praise from teachers and students. TAs not only assist teachers in preparing teaching materials but also help students with pronunciation and oral conversation practice, correct grammar errors, grade student assignments and exams, and more during class. This not only enhances the quality of teaching and classroom efficiency but also enriches teaching methods for teachers. Furthermore, serving as a TA allows students to actively participate in teaching and achieve mutual growth in the teaching and learning process. The TAs for Japanese courses mainly consist of graduate students from the Japanese Master's program and senior undergraduate students.
