答非所問啊唉～ ※ 引述《yoyoyoII ()》之銘言： : 感謝J 大分享，這事件真的可能會影響申請者的權益， : 小弟不才，請教完老師後，也寫了一封信寄給ETS ， : 信也寄到ETS 總部和發言人的兩個信箱，歡迎大家複製信件內容一起寄， : 雖然希望不大，但該發聲就該發聲！ : 收件者： : etsinfo@ets.org : tewing@ets.org : 主旨： : Regarding the change from "Taiwan" to "Taiwan, China" on the ETS website : 內文： : To whom it may regard at ETS: : We are more than 5,000 students who plan to/are taking TOEFL this : year. A few days ago, we noticed that on the ETS website, “Taiwan : ” has been changed to “Taiwan, China” in both the nationality : column upon registering for a test and in the address section. We : find this change really disappointing and firmly believe that this : is against the values ETS strives to protect. Therefore, we, the : test-takers from Taiwan, strongly urge ETS to change the : nationality back to “Taiwan” only, or to “Taiwan, R.O.C” as : that is what is shown on our passport. : While we appreciate the effort ETS has spent on improving testing, : teaching and learning, we think it is essential that the nonprofit : ETS fights back on threats or temptations to alter the pre- : existing “Taiwan” nationality, for the action steers away from : ETS’ mission to “advance quality and equity in education for all : people worldwide”. We the Taiwanese test-takers firmly believe : that with “Taiwan, China” shown on our transcript, ETS not only : denies the diverse student background it acknowledges and : respects, but deprives the Taiwanese students of the chance to be : seen as different from the Chinese students by universities and : graduate schools we wish to apply for. Born and raised in Taiwan, : we find our life stories very different from the Chinese : applicants and consider it essential to emphasize the diversity we : can bring to the foreign institutions we are applying for, and : thus, we strongly urge ETS to change our nationality back to “ : Taiwan” only. : For the past years, most of the Taiwanese test-takers prefer TOEFL : to IETLS. However, the sudden change of “Taiwan” to “Taiwan, : China” seems to us antithetical to the values that ETS as a : nonprofit should protect and also steers away from what form the : cornerstones of both U.S. and Taiwan’s democracy. This change : then has to deal with the full force of the Taiwanese test-takers : and perhaps even the foreign institutions we wish to apply for. : More than 5,000 of the Taiwanese test-takers this year and in the : years to come might change our minds to take IELTS instead, as : IELTS still lists “Taiwan” as a nation on its website and on its : transcript. We have also started writing to schools we wish to : apply for, complaining about this change and asking the admission : committees to value IETLS scores more. To avoid this action : turning into a movement, once again, we suggest ETS to change “ : Taiwan, China” back to “Taiwan” only. : All in all, we don’t see ETS’ concerns and action being : legitimate in this case, and we not only urge ETS to put “Taiwan : ” back on its website, but ask for an explanation to why this : action has been taken. We strongly feel that only by listing “ : Taiwan” as a nation on the ETS website, can ETS live up to its : mission to “advance quality and equity in education for all : people worldwide”, and can it win continuous support from the : Taiwanese test-takers as well as the schools from around the : world. : 建議大家點下方的網頁版連結，以方便複製， : 寄出後應該會收到ETSinfo 寄來的48 hr 內回覆通知，大家一起捍衛權益吧！ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 27.52.227.145 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/TOEFL_iBT/M.1535549643.A.33D.html
