碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 國際傳播英語碩士學位學程(IMICS) === 105 === I would first like to thank my thesis advisor Dr. Sumei Wang. Dr. Wang’s office has been always accessible. I could always go to her whenever I needed help in regard to my research or writing. She has allowed me to pursue my research interest, and has guided me back on track whenever I lost track of my work. It is through her support, when I ran into personal problems and was finding it difficult to carry on with my research, that my research endeavor has been successful. She has been a constant source of inspiration and strength. I would also like to thank the experts, who were committee members for this thesis, Dr. Tingyu Kang and Dr. Eva Tsai. Their critical and encouraging comments have been helpful in carrying out this research. I must not fail to acknowledge the contribution of students of the International Masters in International Communication Studies (IMICS) and other Taiwanese students who participated in my focus group discussions. They took time from their busy schedules to participate in them. I must express my profound gratitude to my parents and to my friends for providing me with unfailing support and continuous encouragement throughout my study and research. This thesis would not have been possible without them. Finally, I would like to thank the Government of Taiwan, Taiwan’s Embassy in India and the Taiwan Education Center in JMI University, New Delhi. They provided the Ministry of Education (MOE) scholarship, which allowed me to undertake this master’s degree and research. I’m here, under the blue sky of Taiwan, but I feel India so close to my heart. It’s a matter of pride to tell my friends about India. Describing the beauty and incredibleness of my country to my friends here gives me immense pleasure.
