Workshop on Academic Teaching Excellence

In order to improve our EMI (English as Medium of Instruction) environment, we will hold the same EMI workshop that has been held by top universities (such as National Taiwan Normal University and National Tsing Hua University) in Taiwan and look forward to improving the EMI quality at Wenzao.
