![]() ![]() ![]() That is one of the main way that Taiwanese students interact with each other in the written words format. Tools: As mentioned in the interviews most TSAs in America has their own Facebook group.Maybe the event last year started something in them. In the future, maybe the transitioning is happening gradually that it is just not apparent enough for Taiwanese students to notice. As Tsai and Kuo had mentioned in the interview that only when big events occur that is probably going to be one of the reason prompting the Taiwanese students to introducing Taiwan to other student on campus.
