吳依屏 Yi-Ping Wu, 博士生, 俄亥俄州立大學 March 23, 2015

     窗外飄著細雪，客廳的地毯上放著還沒打包完的行李箱，書桌上散落著期末報告的相關書籍，我又打開電腦默默地敲打著要交給傅爾布萊特的心得報告。這麼忙碌的生活，就是來到美國後的日常生活寫照。總是在準備著下一份報告，總是在規劃著另一個申請計劃，彷彿無止盡的學習，努力，這就是我來到俄亥俄州立大學攻讀博士的實際情況。

美國體驗

蔡雨芹 Yu-Chin Tsai, FLTA, 奧勒岡州太平洋大學 March 23, 2015

     申請傅爾布萊特華語教學獎助計畫之前，我做了好一陣子的線上華語教學，從各國學生的學習反應、造句、作文，能聽聞各地的奇聞軼事，能領會與語言的妙處。有次我讓學生用手勢比出我所說的中文動詞，我說：「吃。」學生同時作勢拿叉子，只有我一個人伸出食指和中指作勢拿筷子扒飯。華語教學的樂趣讓我期待著這次到美國大學教華語，順道體驗與我迥異的生活和文化。

風城印象

Chun-Wei Tsai 蔡純瑋, FLTA, Boston University March 13, 2015

       在八月中前往美國之前，我待在終年受海風吹拂的臺灣島上二十餘年。從大學入學到研究所畢業後的那段期間，我住在臺北城裡，花了三分之一的人生摸索與搏鬥。和生活搏鬥，也和自己。有時候覺得已經知道自己要的是什麼，但是困惑總是一而再再而三地回來。所以無論何時，我總是在包包裡放著一把傘。既然不知道什麼時候放晴，什麼時候會下雨，那麼確保能在雨滴落下時打傘撐著，總是不那麼狼狽一些。
