Tamkang university, back then (1963) Tamkang science and literature institute, created a French language section which became French language and literature department. We signed a agreement of cooperation with the French university of Franche-Comte in November 1989 and since 1994, 20 or so students of our department are send there for their 3th year. In the future, we will enhance the distant learning capabilities of our department, in order to adapt to an ever-changing world; but we will also never depart from our foremost duty : teaching French.
