About us

The Language Training and Testing Center (the LTTC) came into being in 1951. Thirty-five years later in February 1986, it was registered with the Ministry of Education as a cultural and educational foundation. Since the outset, it has offered language teaching, training and testing in order to meet the needs of social and economical development in Taiwan.

Currently, the LTTC provides classes in English, Japanese, French, German, and Spanish. The school serves a broad cross-section of society, providing training for business people, college and university students, and other adult members of society. The LTTC is also an accepted language learning institute for civil service employees.

In February 2002, the Taipei City Department of Education approved the LTTC to open an independent branch, the LTTC Language Institute (LTTC-LI). The new branch is located at Zhongxiao E. Rd., Sec. 1, No. 31, 4F.

Courses at the LTTC-LI begin every January, April, July, and October, and each of the four terms last for ten weeks. Most courses run from Monday to Friday. Depending on the kind of course, these last for either one, two or three hours a day. Saturday courses, which are generally three hours a day, are also offered. In addition, there are short-term classes and other types of courses which are available on demand.

Areas of instruction covered include listening, reading, conversation, writing, news, business, and English for Specific Purposes (ESP). The variety of types of courses and times at which classes are held meet a wide range of needs, with the exception of exam preparation. Students are placed into classes appropriate to their ability. Those who wish to study Japanese, French, German, or Spanish can start at beginners’ level, and they do not need to sit a placement test. All classes are limited to eight to eighteen people. The school’s experienced local and foreign teachers use communicative and interactive teaching methods in order to provide students with the opportunity to practice everyday usage and to further intercultural understanding.

All of the classrooms are fitted out with various electronic devices, such as computers, DVD players and digital projectors that are often used to assist the instructional process. Online courses are also offered. In addition, the school is working on different kinds of teaching research projects as well as course and textbook development. From time to time, workshops and cultural lectures are held in order to improve teaching and service quality.
