政大外文中心「英語與創意文化產業」課程在謝思蕾老師帶領下，前往臺北國家兩廳院進行田野參訪，實地了解文化表演場館的空間設計與運作模式。

本次參訪首先來到國家戲劇院，寬敞的舞台具備靈活變化空間與現代化聲光設備，能因應不同演出形式營造戲劇張力。觀眾席的椅子不僅舒適，還能導熱散溫，提升觀演體驗。此外，舞台上的大型拱門也讓整體氛圍更顯莊重典雅。

接著前往國家音樂廳，外觀屋頂上的神獸裝飾與東方建築風格呼應，展現深厚文化底蘊。廳內的銅雕作品出自藝術家楊英風之手，與音樂主題呼應，營造藝術氛圍。最令人驚艷的是廳內不需擴音設備，聲學設計極佳；而亞洲最大的機械管風琴更是音樂廳的重要地標，雖無法拍照，仍令人印象深刻。

導覽過程中，師生也參觀了大廳、展演空間與藝術品收藏，包含舊舞台拆解後的創作畫布、典雅的大理石牆面與中西融合風格的水晶吊燈等，處處可見藝術與建築的巧思。導覽員以流利英文解說場館歷史與細節，熱情的講解讓整場參訪充滿啟發與興趣。

學生們表示，這次參訪讓課堂學習內容具體實踐，深入認識臺灣文化創意產業的運作與美學，是一趟難忘且極具啟發性的學習經驗。

On April 23, 2025, students from National Chengchi University’s English for Creative and Cultural Industries course, led by Dr. Cheryl Sheridan, visited the National Theater and Concert Hall (NTCH) in Taipei. The field trip offered students a hands-on experience with Taiwan’s leading cultural performance venues.

At the National Theater, students learned about the flexible stage design, modern sound and lighting systems, and thoughtful seating that enhances audience comfort. The grand arch around the stage added a touch of elegance.

At the National Concert Hall, they were impressed by the stunning acoustics, traditional rooftop decorations, and bronze sculptures by artist Yuyu Yang. They also saw the largest mechanical pipe organ in Asia.

The tour also included a look at artistic installations, including repurposed stage panels and unique interior designs. Guided by a passionate and knowledgeable English-speaking docent, the students gained valuable insights into the intersection of art, space, and cultural management.

The trip helped connect classroom learning to real-world experiences and deepened students’ understanding of Taiwan’s creative industries.
