When international students face culture shock in a new environment, they might feel confused and anxious or want to know more about the environment and culture. If they wish to do so, not only can they seek advice from teachers and students on campus, but also learn about Taiwan culture and local customs by participating in host family events.
Beginning in 2023, the Ministry of Education’s "Taiwan Hostfamily Program” has been continuously promoted by the Office of Network for International Student Advisors. Now MOE launchs the Taiwan Hostfamily Program 2.0, with a brand new name of “Light a Match, Meet a Family - LMMF Host Family Program” and new arrangement. To attract more host families, international students, as well as education institutes to participate in the new host family program to engage and embrace the culture differences in Taiwan, as a result to develop a good impression of Taiwan’s warm and friendly cultural environment for international students. Therefore, if you are an international student and interested in participating the events held by host families, please refer to the following webpage: https://www.nisa.moe.gov.tw/lmmf/index/activity/activityType/family/lang/en
