Coordinator
Sophia Chiang
Hi, I'm Sophia, the coordinator of the team. I grew up in Kaohsiung, studied in PingTung, and now, I’m in Tainan! Drawing upon my educational background from National PingTung University in Applied English, I am dedicated to supporting the integration of grantees into Tainan's daily routines and school environments. It brings me great satisfaction to be part of a program that contributes to the advancement of English education in Taiwan.
In my role as a coordinator, I am responsible for arranging plans, general administrations and assisting our team here at NCKU. Since our team just arrived in 2023, we are looking forward to promoting and letting more people know about us! Here you can deepen yourself in supporting EMI, teaching skills and enriching cultural sharing and exchange. We welcome you to be creative, open-minded and cooperative with resilience!
