I want to be a foreign exchange student for free?
I want to be a foreign exchange student for free?
My friend is going to Beijing this summer and it gave me the idea of being a foreign exchange student. I'm from Indianapolis and I really want to go to Italy, Taiwan, or Spain. I'll be a freshman in the fall, and I want to spend my sophomore year in one of those countries. Could you provide a local or International website that will help me or sponsor me for this? Note: I only want to stay for 1 or 2 months. Thanks :]

Hahaha I can't believe you want to go to Taiwan! I'm living in Taiwan right now as a foreign exchange student through Rotary International. I'm glad someone else shows intrest in this awsome little Island. I only know of three really good exchange agencies and one is Rotary International. They provide a year long excahnge (that's me) and a short term (you stay for about a month). The other exchange agency is AIFS. I really don't know much about this program I just know that it's made for people living in North America. I wouldn't go with this one though it is the worst out of the three. The last but not least is People to People. My friend mentioned this one to me and I have no Idea what the requirements are but it would be worth checking out. I hope your exchange plans work out nicely and I HIGHLY suggest going through Rotary International. It's safe, cheap and a TON of fun.

How do you help a foreign student in english when he tends to think in two different languages?
How do you help a foreign student in english when he tends to think in two different languages?
I tutor a kid who just immigrated from Taiwan, and he's having trouble learning the language. It took me about six months to realize that it's not that he doesn't understand what he's reading, but rather he's thinking in two different languages, and he's getting confused as to how to answer me. Just wondering if there are any tricks so that I can help him a little better.

get one of those talking translaters or the book and when you guys want to talk just use it to clear things up
2 :
The student has to sort it out for himself... Many interpret english in to their home tongue and try to distiinguish the results... Keep working with him. English is spoken in Taiwan and Korea as second language...
3 :
It's called first language interference. Since you are tutoring him, take some time to let him use his first language to his benefit. This code switching can help him figure things out, and might help him with acquisition. If you can share (have him tell you what things mean in Taiwanese, or how the structure varies), it might help him sort things out on his own. It's a natural part of second language acquisition, and it will work its way out on its own. I wouldn't try and suppress it.

What is the disposition of Taiwan under the San Francisco Peace Treaty of 1952?
I am a student in International Relations, and need to have an exact determination of Taiwan's international legal position according to the terms of the post-war San Francisco Peace Treaty of 1952.

According to the SFPT of 1952, japan has to give up all the rights and legal authority on taiwan and its related islands. that's all its about, the treaty did not mention any other things about taiwan
2 :
Japan renounced the territorial sovereignty of Taiwan in the peace treaty, but no recipient was designated. According to authoritative research on international treaty law and the laws of war, under such circumstances the title to Taiwan territory escheats to "the conqueror," which in the post-Napoleonic period is "the principal occupying power." Article 23 of the peace treaty confirms that the United States is the principal occupying power.

huh?

Washington B 's answer sounds pretty good, but how does Mainland Communist China have any claim to it. When the Communists came in to China, they murdered all the Christians, intellectuals, and businessmen and persons of any wealth who would not "Convert" to communism and give all their possessions to the state. A few fled and went to Taiwan and began their own democratic republic. They have been totally loyal to the United States, giving us military bases there and open trade. Now, Wal*Mart has kissed up to Communist China big time, and our balance of trade is in their favor, our President is about to give over our friend Taiwan to the Communists. I don't understand that at all and feel that they are an independent country, why should we give up our free friend to the communists. Something here really stinks.

Where can I rent film equipment or hire actors in Taiwan?
Where can I rent film equipment or hire actors in Taiwan?
I'm looking to film a short Super 16mm film and am looking for the most affordable equipment (lights, cameras, tripods, etc) as this is a student production. I will be shooting in the Southern part of Taiwan around Linbian or Pingtong.
