為迎接春節到來，國立高雄大學語文中心日前舉辦「外籍生包水餃文化體驗活動」，邀請中心外籍學生走進臺灣的傳統家庭節慶文化，親手製作象徵團圓與吉祥的水餃。活動當日圓滿完成，現場氣氛溫馨熱絡，也為外籍生的在台學習經驗增添一段深刻的文化印記。

(To celebrate the upcoming Lunar New Year, the Language Center of National University of Kaohsiung recently organized a “Dumpling-Making Cultural Experience” for international students. The event invited students to engage with Taiwan’s traditional festive culture by making dumplings, which symbolize reunion and good fortune. The activity was successfully completed, creating a warm and lively atmosphere while leaving students with a meaningful cultural memory.)

活動使用果貿吳媽家新鮮在地食材的水餃DIY料理組，讓學生在安全、專業的準備下，專注於學習與實作，完整體驗從拌餡、包製到烹煮的過程。活動由老師示範包水餃流程，從食材介紹、餡料比例說明，到包製技巧與烹煮方法，循序引導學生完成每一步。外籍學生不僅學習如何包出飽滿美觀的水餃，更自行決定餡料口味、親手拌餡、動手實作，最終將自己的作品下鍋烹煮，完成一道道色香味俱全的水餃。

(The activity featured a DIY dumpling kit prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, allowing students to safely and fully engage in the cooking process—from mixing fillings and wrapping dumplings to boiling them. Instructors provided step-by-step guidance, including ingredient introduction, filling proportions, wrapping techniques, and cooking methods. Students not only learned how to make well-shaped dumplings, but also chose their own flavors, prepared the fillings, and completed the entire cooking process, resulting in dishes that were both visually appealing and delicious.)

語文中心表示，水餃在華人社會具有深厚的文化意涵，尤其於春節期間，象徵團圓、吉祥與分享。本次活動將語言學習延伸至節慶生活場域，不僅讓外籍生在實作中自然使用中文溝通，更透過體驗感受臺灣的傳統文化與節慶氛圍，拉近與臺灣社會的距離。

(The Language Center noted that dumplings carry deep cultural significance in Chinese society, especially during the Lunar New Year, symbolizing reunion, prosperity, and sharing. This activity extended language learning into a festive, real-life context, allowing students to naturally use Mandarin in communication while experiencing Taiwan’s traditional culture and holiday atmosphere.)

多位參與學生分享，從最初對水餃製作的陌生，到最後能品嚐自己完成的料理，過程充滿成就感，也深刻體驗到「一起動手、一起分享」的臺灣家庭精神。有學生表示，這次活動讓他們彷彿參與了一場春節前的溫暖聚會，而不只是學習一門料理技能。

(Several participating students shared that the experience—from being unfamiliar with dumpling-making to eventually tasting their own creations—was highly rewarding. They also gained a deeper understanding of the Taiwanese spirit of “cooking and sharing together.” Some students described the event as feeling like a warm pre-Lunar New Year gathering, rather than just a cooking lesson.)

國立高雄大學語文中心長期致力於打造結合語言學習與文化體驗的多元教學環境。透過貼近生活與節慶的活動設計，協助外籍生理解臺灣文化、融入社會，也讓語言不只是課堂知識，而是連結人與人之間的橋梁。未來，中心將持續規劃更多具深度與溫度的文化體驗活動，讓學習中文的每一刻，都充滿文化意涵與生活趣味。

(The Language Center of National University of Kaohsiung has long been committed to creating a diverse learning environment that integrates language learning and cultural experiences. Through activities rooted in daily life and traditional festivals, the center helps international students understand Taiwanese culture and integrate into society, making language not just a subject, but a bridge connecting people. The center will continue to develop more in-depth and meaningful cultural programs, ensuring that every moment of learning Mandarin is enriched with cultural insight and real-life engagement.)
