EMI Enhancement Program

In order to promote EMI and ESP programs and encourage our full-time teachers to form professional EMI communities (EMI & ESP, EMI², and EMI Companions) to share teaching experiences, improve teaching methods, and develop innovative teaching materials, this grant program is hereby established. This program applies to all English-medium professional courses offered by full-time teachers at EMI, with at least half of the students enrolled in the courses being local students, and with priority given to university-level courses. This program does not include language training courses, English-related courses, departmental internships, projects, book discussions, lectures, or service learning courses.
