Guided by the vision of "Professional Bilingual Education for Practical Competence," the University established the Bilingual Education Resource Center in 2021 and formed the Bilingual Curriculum Promotion Committee to integrate institutional resources and coordinate the development of bilingual education in curriculum design, faculty development, student learning, and educational support. The initiative aims to achieve the goals of institutionalizing bilingual education, strengthening students' professional bilingual competence, and promoting bilingual teaching and learning across the campus.

1. Enhancing Students' English Proficiency

To support bilingual instruction, the University implemented an English proficiency placement system, revised instructional materials, and provided remedial and enhancement courses based on students' proficiency levels. Between 2021 and 2023, the University's English assessment was upgraded to evaluate all four language skills—listening, speaking, reading, and writing—and incorporated the Professional Vocabulary Quotient Credential (PVQC) to strengthen discipline-specific English vocabulary.

The English curriculum for undergraduate students was redesigned with proficiency-based placement and learning portfolios to monitor learning outcomes. Additional initiatives include bilingual teaching assistants, English presentation competitions, PVQC contests, TOEIC preparation courses, and academic English support for graduate students to enhance professional communication, academic writing, and presentation skills. In Academic Years 2022 and 2024, 84, 147, and 358 senior students, respectively, fulfilled the English learning portfolio graduation requirements and received certificates recognizing their outstanding achievements.

To foster an immersive bilingual learning environment, the Language Center equipped nine classrooms with lecture-recording systems and regularly offers extracurricular language-learning activities in the Foreign Language Learning Center, providing students with diverse opportunities for autonomous learning and English interaction.

2. Establishing a Comprehensive Bilingual Teaching Support System

The University established institutional regulations, funding mechanisms, and quality assurance procedures for bilingual courses through the Bilingual Education Resource Center and the Bilingual Curriculum Promotion Committee. Orientation sessions were conducted to introduce EMI (English as a Medium of Instruction) policies and faculty support measures. The University offered 40 bilingual courses each semester in Academic Year 2023 and expanded to 50 EMI courses per semester in Academic Year 2024.

Faculty development has been strengthened through EMI mentoring, recruitment of international instructors, and professional training programs. Three international faculty members have joined the College of Engineering to support bilingual teaching. Faculty members have actively participated in EMI training programs provided by Cambridge, Oxford, and Studio Classroom. Bilingual teaching performance has also been incorporated into faculty evaluation, teaching excellence awards, and merit-based compensation to encourage sustained participation.

3. Continuous Quality Enhancement

The University has expanded digital teaching resources by developing an online learning platform with bilingual interfaces, remote teaching functions, online learning materials, and language assessment tools. EMI workshops and professional development seminars are regularly organized to strengthen faculty competence in course design and instructional strategies.

Since 2021, institutional research has been conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of bilingual education through student surveys. Results from Academic Year 2023 indicate that approximately 85% of students reported understanding more than 50% of bilingual course content and presentations, demonstrating positive learning outcomes. These findings provide valuable evidence for continuous curriculum improvement and the sustainable development of bilingual education.
