On August 23, 2023, Wenzao Ursuline University of Languages organized the "OUR TOWN Community Sustainable Cross-Domain Collaborative Platform Project” foreign language guided tour community event at the Shoushan National Nature Park Visitor Center. The aim of the foreign language guided tour community event is to provide high-quality language training for volunteer guides, combining the unique attractions of Shoushan Park and the
Kaohsiung Zuoying Old Town to deepen and promote the local culture and humanistic characteristics of Zuoying's old town in Kaohsiung. Under the professional guidance of Professor Gong Shu-Yong, volunteer guides acquired core English expression skills. Through English interactive activities during the course, they applied their knowledge effectively, successfully launching a new chapter for local community English guided tour courses. The first session of the foreign language guided tour community class began with mutual introductions in English, where volunteer guides, instructor, and the team learned effective foreign language guiding techniques. They transformed their understanding and passion for local culture into English, eagerly anticipating serving more visitors in the future.
