打破時空藩籬, 讓台灣的中小學生能輕鬆地與國際接軌, 並讓在台留學的外籍生, 也能深入了解台灣的在地文化。 

ICL (International Companion of Learning) is a program from NTU(National Taiwan University) which engages students to communicate with foreigner exchange students in English.   Students have a change to know about local and foreign cultures.  This is the meet-up activity for our students to meet their foreign companions.  It is an exciting moment.

WE finally MEETＵP! The hosting student, 201, exceeded expectations. Alongside a well-planned campus English tour, there was a circular introduction activity. Each host played their role as an English guide expertly, showcasing what they had learned in their art classes with lively performances. The welcoming dance brought our student and partners closer, and after a warm welcome speech from the principal, we get started to experience fun activities.

During the hands-on afternoon tea experience, we introduced authentic Taiwanese desserts and beverages. We made chewy handmade mochi with peanut and sesame flavors, providing our partners with a taste of traditional Taiwanese cuisine. Following that, they personalized their own bubble tea drinks, which they absolutely loved, truly experiencing the charm of Taiwanese beverages. Paired with mochi, it was a perfect combination. Our local students acted as excellent hosts, guiding and accompanying their partners throughout, fostering cultural exchange through shared experiences.

竹北國中參與國際學伴計畫至今已邁入第五年，在計畫期間，學生透過與國外大學生的視訊交流，認識了不同國家的文化與風俗，拓展了國際視野。

在視訊交流中，學生與國外大學生分享了自己的學校生活、興趣愛好等，也學習了彼此的文化。此外，國際學伴計畫也促進了學生們的英語學習。在準備視訊交流的過程中，學生們需要練習英語口語，這有助於提升他們的英語能力。

透過國際學伴計畫，本校學生有機會與來自不同文化背景的學生交流，不僅增進了國際觀，也學習到不同的語言和文化。未來，我們將繼續推動國際學伴計畫，讓更多學生有機會與世界接軌。

We had ICL from the UK, Japan, Indonesia, Austria and Germany.  We were very happy to meet them at school. At first we had a campus tour, and then we played a taboo word game. 

After than, we experiencedw two hands-on activities. One was to shake our own bubble milk tea, and the other was to make red turtle cake, which is a kind of traditional Taiwanese sticky rice cake served on every happy occasion becasue it looks like turtle shell that means long live for Chinese and its red color means good luck to us. We had a great afternoon. 

This time, we invite our international companions to Water Moon Fish Farm.  Just after welcome dance, we go fishing at the fish farm. Have you ever fished without a hook? Let us show you how. This is an unusual experience not only for our students but also for the local and foreign students from NTU.  And then we enjoy making fresh shrimp sandwishes for ourselves. Yummy!

We are happy to meet our international companions at CBJH.

We showed them around the campus. We made Mochi together.  We made bubble milk tea, too.  It was an unforgettable experience. 

This time we made red turtle cake and milk tea with international companions. We had a great time.
