114級羅心彤同學參與國際少年運動會　 深化國際交流經驗　展現跨文化溝通與問題解決能力

2026年夏季，114級的羅心彤同學參與國際少年運動會（International Children’s Games, ICG），擔任國際聯絡員，協助來自匈牙利肖普朗（Sopron）代表隊，處理交通、住宿及行程安排等相關事務。透過此次國際賽事服務，羅心彤同學累積了國際活動接待與行政協調的實務經驗，也在跨文化互動中深化溝通能力、應變能力及國際視野，展現大學生積極參與國際交流、拓展學習經驗的成果。

她是初次擔任國際聯絡員，在面對接待國際代表隊領隊及副市長等任務時，難免會感到緊張和壓力，擔心自身的英語能力及缺乏實務經驗，但從確認集合地點、協調遊覽車空調，到處理飯店住宿及交通流程等問題，她皆須即時掌握狀況、協調相關人員並尋求解決方式。她逐步體會到，執行國際活動任務除了需要細心與責任感，更須具備主動溝通、臨場應變及解決問題的能力，然而，透過坦誠溝通與積極學習，她逐漸建立信心，並在實際服務過程中累積經驗。此外，她亦嘗試運用匈牙利語向隊員表達「Holnap találkozunk」（明天見），獲得對方隊友的熱情回應。從這段互動中，讓她進一步體會到跨文化溝通，不僅只是仰賴語言能力，更重要的在於建立尊重、真誠與主動交流的態度。

活動期間，羅心彤同學逐漸與匈牙利代表隊教練 Niki、József 及 Bálint 建立良好互動，交流內容從臺灣與匈牙利的文化差異延伸至個人興趣與生活目標。教練們知道她愛好古典鋼琴樂曲，也曾經繪製匈牙利的音樂家李斯特（Franz Liszt）的肖像，了解她希望擁有一輛公路車的心願，並在活動的最後一天，特別致贈一件紀念 Polo 衫，並附上一封祝福信，寫道：「We wish all your dreams come true!! Just like this bicycle!」（祝福妳所有的夢想都能實現，就像這輛自行車一樣！），這份溫暖的心意令她深受感動，也讓她體會到，六天的國際交流除了拓展自己的國際視野外，也促進文化理解與人際連結的意義。羅心彤表示，這次經驗讓她理解，語言能力並非參與國際交流的唯一條件；即使表達尚未完全流暢，只要願意跨出第一步，以真誠的態度面對他人，並積極尋求解決問題的方法，就能在實務參與中持續學習與成長。

本系重視學生專業知能、語言應用及國際素養的培養，鼓勵學生透過國際賽事與志工服務等多元學習機會，將課堂所學運用於真實情境。羅心彤此次參與國際少年運動會的經驗，展現學生在國際服務中培養跨文化溝通、團隊協調及問題解決能力的學習成果，也體現大學教育協助學生拓展國際視野、建立自信，並以專業與關懷回應多元社會需求的教育目標，羅同學的表現，足以展現出本系培育青年學子的傑出成果，更希望藉此經驗，鼓勵更多學子投入國際交流活動，培養自信，鏈結國際。

 

Hsin-Tung Lo Participates in the International Children’s Games (ICG)

Gaining International Experience and Demonstrating Cross-Cultural Communication and Problem-Solving Skills

In the summer of 2026, Hsin-Tung Lo, a student in the Class of 2025, participated in the International Children’s Games (ICG) as an international liaison officer. She assisted the delegation from Sopron, Hungary, with transportation, accommodation, and itinerary arrangements. Through her service at this international sporting event, Lo gained practical experience in international event reception and administrative coordination. She also strengthened her communication and problem-solving skills, developed greater adaptability, and broadened her international perspective through cross-cultural interactions. Her experience demonstrates how university students can actively engage in international exchange and expand their learning beyond the classroom.

As a first-time international liaison officer, Lo initially felt nervous and under pressure when assigned to assist the delegation leader and deputy mayor. She was concerned about whether her English proficiency and lack of practical experience would be sufficient for the responsibilities. During the event, she handled various logistical challenges, including confirming meeting points, coordinating bus air-conditioning arrangements, and resolving issues related to hotel accommodation and transportation procedures. These tasks required her to assess situations promptly, coordinate with relevant personnel, and identify appropriate solutions. Through these experiences, she came to understand that international event coordination requires not only attention to detail and a strong sense of responsibility, but also proactive communication, adaptability, and problem-solving skills. By communicating openly and remaining willing to learn, she gradually gained confidence and valuable practical experience.

Lo also made an effort to communicate with the Hungarian team members in their native language, using the phrase “Holnap találkozunk” (“See you tomorrow”). Her initiative was warmly received by the delegation. This interaction helped her recognize that successful cross-cultural communication depends not solely on language proficiency, but also on respect, sincerity, and a willingness to engage with people from different cultural backgrounds.

During the event, Lo gradually developed close rapport with the Hungarian delegation’s coaches, Niki, József, and Bálint. Their conversations covered cultural differences between Taiwan and Hungary, as well as personal interests and future aspirations. The coaches learned that Lo enjoys classical piano music and had once drawn a portrait of the Hungarian composer Franz Liszt. They also remembered her dream of owning a road bicycle. On the final day of the event, they presented her with a commemorative polo shirt accompanied by a heartfelt note that read, “We wish all your dreams come true!! Just like this bicycle!”

The thoughtful gesture deeply moved Lo. Reflecting on the six-day exchange, she recognized that international engagement not only broadens one’s global perspective, but also fosters mutual cultural understanding and meaningful human connections. Lo noted that language proficiency is not the only prerequisite for participating in international exchange. Even when one cannot yet express oneself fluently, taking the first step with sincerity and actively seeking solutions to challenges can create valuable opportunities for learning and personal growth.

The department places great emphasis on developing students’ professional knowledge, language proficiency, and international competence. It encourages students to apply what they learn in the classroom to real-world situations through diverse learning opportunities, including international sporting events and volunteer services. Lo’s participation in the International Children’s Games exemplifies the learning outcomes that students can achieve through international service, particularly in cross-cultural communication, team coordination, and problem-solving.

Her experience also reflects the department’s educational commitment to helping students broaden their international perspectives, build confidence, and respond to the needs of an increasingly diverse society with professionalism and compassion. Lo’s performance is a testament to the department’s efforts to nurture capable and globally minded young people. The department hopes that her experience will inspire more students to participate in international exchange activities, strengthen their confidence, and build meaningful connections with the world.
