Call for Applications: 2026 Teacher Teaching Development Community Subsidy Program
Teaching alone is tough. Join our teacher community and connect with instructors from different disciplines. Let’s work together to create a supportive environment where we can learn from each other and grow both personally and professionally.
To encourage our faculty members to engage in English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) teaching and enhance course quality, the University will provide discretionary subsidies for speaker honoraria and expert consultation fees from the University’s Bilingual Education Project budget to communities whose proposals focus on EMI/Bilingual Teaching and are successfully approved. This subsidy will be granted on a case-by-case basis during the project execution period, depending on the nature and content of each activity. [[Event Information]

【Lecture Title】What does EMI mean for Taiwan?
【Time】October 13, 2025 (14:00–16:00)
【Location】First Conference Room, Administration Building 7F
This lecture explores the significance and impact of EMI (English-Medium Instruction) in Taiwan’s higher education. With universities placing increasing emphasis on internationalization, English has emerged as a key medium for global engagement, shaping not only curriculum design but also the practices of teaching, learning, and campus life. The discussion will highlight the diverse roles English plays in academic settings, draw on research to present Taiwanese faculty and students’ attitudes, beliefs, and experiences with EMI, and consider the challenges and opportunities it brings to the local educational landscape. Ultimately, it will address a core question: “What does EMI represent in the context of Taiwan?”
