Fu Jen Language Center is one of the oldest non-degree Chinese language learning centers in Taiwan.  It was founded in 1964, under the direction of the then president of Fu Jen University,  His excellency Paul Cardinal Yu Pin, by the Society of the Divine Word (SVD), to address the need for the foreign missionaries to learn Chinese.  It was then named as  “Chinese Language Center”. 

To promote exchanges between Eastern and Western countries, to enable the foreign students in Taiwan to learn Chinese and to allow the local students to take short term courses in foreign languages, in 1969, with the approval of the Ministry of Education the center was renamed as “Language Center”.
