Interview: Life as an OeAD lecturer in Taiwan

Since August 2022 Julia Renner has worked as an OeAD lecturer at the National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology (NKUST). Recently she was invited for an interview by Radio Taiwan International. In the interview Julia tells us, among other things, what the OeAD does, what her tasks at the German Department at NKUST are and what difficulties she has observed with her Taiwanese students learning German.

Listen to the interview (in German).

The OeAD’s lectureship programme is a mobility programme for teaching German language, Austrian literature and Austrian regional studies at universities abroad. It invites applications from graduates with Magister or master’s degrees in the humanities and cultural studies. As graduates teach for several years these lectureships make it possible to develop sustainable relationships between Austria and the host country and therefore are an important tool of Austrian cultural and science education in higher education abroad.

For further information about the programme see the Lectureship Programme website.
