Students of the Polman Negeri Babel TRPL Participate in a Mandarin Language Training Program in Taiwan
A student at the Bangka Belitung State Manufacturing Polytechnic (Polman Babel) has once again achieved impressive international recognition. Nitalia, an eighth-semester student in the Applied Software Engineering Technology (TRPL) Undergraduate Program, successfully qualified for the International Talent Circulation Base (Taiwan-Indonesia) program to participate in Mandarin teaching training in Taiwan.
The training program lasted one week, from July 5th to 13th, 2025. Organized by a Taiwan-Indonesia collaboration agency, the program aimed to improve the quality of Mandarin teaching in overseas locations, including in Indonesia.
The course was designed intensively, incorporating a practical analytical approach and the sharing of experiences from professional teachers. Through this training, participants are expected to develop comprehensive teaching skills and adapt their learning methods to current trends.
Confirmed on Friday (July 18th, 2025), the Head of the Informatics and Business Department, Yang Agita Rindri, M.Eng., expressed her pride in Nitalia's achievement. She explained that Nitalia received this opportunity through a recommendation from her internship provider.
"She truly possesses excellent personal and academic qualities. It's no wonder her internship provider placed their full trust in her and even awarded her a scholarship to participate in this training," she said.
She further stated that she hopes this achievement will motivate other students to continue developing their potential, both domestically and internationally.
Meanwhile, Nitalia expressed her gratitude and pride in being part of this international program. She said the training broadened her understanding of cross-border teaching cultures.
"In addition to learning teaching techniques, I also learned to understand the approaches used in Mandarin language education in Taiwan. This greatly enhances my skills if I one day aspire to become a professional teacher," she said.
She also expressed her gratitude to her supervisor, the university, and the internship provider for their support in ensuring her selection for this prestigious program. "For me, learning should never stop. We must continue to learn, develop, and be ready for future opportunities," she concluded.
