On September 23, 2023, Wenzao Ursuline University of Languages held its third "OUR TOWN Community Sustainable Cross-Domain Collaborative Platform Project" foreign language guided tour community event at Shoushan National Nature Park. This event provided excellent foreign language guided tour skills training and practical opportunities for volunteer guides. During the event, volunteer guides engaged in English conversations to review the course content and express their thoughts on various daily topics in English.
Volunteers had the chance to practice expressing themselves in English, learn different ways of English expression, and take turns delivering oral presentations in English. Through the use of props and photos, volunteers shared the tour materials they had prepared. In the third community event, volunteer guides promoted the local community culture and cultural preservation of Kaohsiung Zuoying Old Town in English, showcasing Wenzao University's commitment to local care and social responsibility.
The training of English-speaking humanities tour guides not only contributes to enhancing the awareness of foreign visitors about the local community but also demonstrates Wenzao Ursuline University of Languages' international perspective and commitment to social engagement.
