第三則：中文博士難生存？頂大推全英文教中文惹議
頂尖大學為因應外籍生增加，開始徵求中文博士以全英文教授國文通識課程，專家指出，此舉不僅忽視華語專業，過度重視英文能力，恐讓中文博士就業更困難。
專家建議，學語言還是應以中文講授中文，否則學習者可能難以開口或理解，最有效的學習途徑，是與母語者多交流，讓語言自然融入生活中，才能達到沉浸式學習。
Chinese PhDs Under Pressure? Top Universities Stir Controversy Over All-English Mandarin Teaching
Leading universities are hiring Chinese PhD students to teach general Chinese courses fully in English to meet the rise in international students. Experts say this move overlooks the expertise of Chinese language PhD graduates and places too much emphasis on English skills, which may make it harder for them to find jobs.
Experts suggest that Chinese should still be taught in Chinese; otherwise, learners may find it hard to speak or understand. The most effective way to learn is to communicate more with native speakers, letting the language naturally blend into daily life for true immersive learning.
第四則：效率高不代表會管理 測驗揭盲點
MAP管理才能評鑑能幫助測驗者了解自己管理上的優勢與不足，進一步掌握個人管理風格。
報告分析顯示，在時間管理方面，效率並不等同於效益，好的時間分配是將時間聚焦於最重要的任務，此外，管理的核心不在於控制他人，而在於發揮影響力。唯有誠實面對不足並持續反思，才能成為成熟的管理者。
Being Efficient Doesn’t Mean You Can Manage Well, Test Reveals Hidden Weakness
The Managerial Assessment of Proficiency helps test-takers understand their strengths and weaknesses in management and gain a clearer picture of their personal management style.
The report shows that when it comes to time management, being efficient is not the same as being effective. Good time management means focusing on the most important tasks. It also notes that management is not about control but about influence. Only by facing weaknesses honestly and reflecting continuously can one become a mature manager.
第五則：網紅宣傳網紅！《中文怪物》顛覆傳統媒體權力
YouTube 節目《中文怪物》爆紅，截至系列第四集已累積超過 1,200 萬次觀看，該節目由 YouTuber 酷製作，動員上百位外國人參與，以新台幣 500 萬打造六集中文競賽實境節目。
節目未依靠傳統宣傳，而是透過參賽者粉絲社群的自然擴散，形成網紅宣傳網紅效應。此現象顯示媒體權力正從電視台轉向個人與社群，YouTube 節目逐漸具備大型製作水準，同時也面臨社群壓力與網路暴力等新挑戰，反映新媒體倫理界線的考驗。
Influencers Promote Influencers! Mandarin Monster Redefines Media Power
The YouTube show “Mandarin Monster” has become a viral hit, gaining over 12 million views by its fourth episode. Produced by YouTuber Ku, the program brought together hundreds of foreigners and was made with a NT$5 million budget for six episodes of a Mandarin language competition reality series.
The show spread naturally through contestants’ fan communities, creating an “influencers promoting influencers” effect. This shows how media power is shifting from TV networks to individuals and online platforms. YouTube shows now reach high production quality but also face challenges like social pressure and online bullying in the new media era.
Let’s wrap up today’s episode. We’ve learned about some important events happening around the world.
Taichung has contained its African swine fever outbreak to a single farm and is strengthening measures to prevent the virus from spreading further.
The Taiwan issue was not discussed at the Trump-Xi meeting, but Trump later stressed that China knows the consequences of using force and that U.S. support for Taiwan is unwavering.
Universities’ shift to English-taught Chinese courses has sparked debate, with experts warning it may weaken language learning and limit job prospects for Chinese PhD holders.
The MAP report emphasizes that effective managers focus on key tasks, use influence instead of control, and keep improving through self-reflection.
The viral success of Mandarin Monster highlights how YouTube creators are reshaping entertainment, shifting influence from traditional TV to social media-driven productions.
