Hiii, my name is Mai Anh (阮陳梅英), but you can just call me Mia. I’m a first-year GCIT student from Vietnam!

I’m into reading and journaling (yes, I even run a tiny blog where I ramble about my thoughts now and then).

I chose this class because I want to understand the roots of communication (which I keep telling everyone I’m studying about) and better explain the media effects and phenomena I see around me.

Looking forward to a joyful semester with all of you! 🌟

Hi! My name is Regina Oktaria Edithania (Chinese name is 唐若欣), but you can call me Regina. I'm 1st-year IMICS student from Indonesia.

I love taking a walk in the park enjoying the surrounding nature and watching all living creatures there, co-existing together. I also like listening to other people's stories, learning about what makes them, them. So, that's why communication becomes pivotal for me to understand myself and other people's perspectives better.

I was a Communication Science student about a decade ago, but I almost forgot the theories that I have learned in my college life. I believe taking this Communication Theories course will be like "refreshment" and "brain updates" to me. I look forward to attending TJ's class every Wednesday!

👋🏻 Hi everyone! My name is Piyatida Tungcheep (李美清), and I’m a first-year IMICS student. You can just call me “Elly.” I’m originally from Thailand. 🇹🇭🙏🏻✨

⭐️ Lately, I’ve been spending my free time watching series, also enjoy coming up with OOTD ideas.

💭I enrolled in this class because I want to put myself in an environment where I can openly exchange ideas and experiences about communication as well as diverse cultures, without being judged as right or wrong. I believe this class will help me gain broader and more creative perspectives on communication. (I’ll also try to speak up more ;-;)

📍 If I don’t wear glasses or contact lenses, I automatically become an introvert because I can’t see anyone 🥹 (I’m not ignoring or being arrogant at all).

Hiii, I’m Calvin 陳皇嘉. I’m 22 and from Chiayi, Taiwan.

I enjoy hiking, traveling, reading and spending time with friends.

I’m in the IMICS program, so that’s why I’m taking this course. I chose IMICS because I’ve had several internships in areas like social media marketing, policy research, and international affairs. Working in these different settings made me realize how much communication shapes the way people interpret messages, form opinions and make decisions. That curiosity led me to study communications more deeply at grad school.

I’m really looking forward to learning with you all •̀֊•́

I also have six years of work experience working in international business, research, digital strategy, and operations.

I've never studied comm theories or the social sciences before, so I am excited to learn these new theoretical foundations to jumpstart my communication studies and IMICS career!

Hi everyone! My name is Lisa (戴莉莎) and I'm a first year IMICS student from Munich, Germany 🇩🇪

I like watching shows and movies, doing yoga at home, fashion, and trying new cafes and restaurants with friends!

As an IMICS student this is a required course for me, but I'm interested in learning about communication theories because my previous degree was very practical and design-focused, so I decided to focus more on theory for my masters degree to understand communication from all angles. 😌

It's nice to meet you and I'm looking forward to learning with all of you! 🫶

Hello, my name is 許念慈 Crystal Hsu.

I'm from Changhua in Taiwan.

My hobbies are watching variety shows, listening to J-pop and K-pop, and sleeping. (I won't sleep in class for sure~)

The reason I chose this course is that I love learning about history, and I thought that wars have often occurred due to misunderstandings over a single word or sentence.

Hi! My name is Hsu Che-Wei (許哲瑋), and I’m a first-year Ph.D. student in Communication. Everyone calls me Michael at NCCU. I was born and raised in Taipei.

In my free time, I enjoy traveling, watching movies, and reading. One of my all-time favorite films is Mulholland Drive by David Lynch. I’m also deeply inspired by the works of Michel Foucault (my favorite philosopher!).

I earned my Master’s degree in Intercultural Communication from the University of Jyväskylä in Finland. Since it’s been over eight years since I graduated, I want to reconnect with the latest developments in communication theory.

I’m looking forward to exchanging ideas and learning together with all of you!

Hi, My name is Alice [愛麗絲] and I come from the south of France in Toulouse. I'm a master degree student enrolled in the IMICS department, studying international communication. During my free time I like to do creative things, cook, discover new places.. I also love play team sports, listening to music! I chose this course in order to get full insight of the fundamentals of communication. I think most of the courses I have taken so far do not really depict what really is communication itself. :)
