Summary of the Features and Achievements of the Program on Bilingual Education for Students in NTCU

      Under the framework of NTCU's academic development plan, the strategy of "Widespread Enhancement" serves as the backbone. Through strengthened bilingual education integrated with systematic teaching of professional knowledge, we aim to promote and achieve overall improvement in English proficiency and internationalization among all teachers and students.

2. Progressive Development of EMI Courses:
   1. Providing incentives for teaching hours devoted to EMI courses. In the 113 academic year, 22 ESP/EAP courses and 28 EMI courses were offered.
   2. Support from 18 teaching assistants and 33 collaborative teaching with consultants experienced in EMI instruction, both within and outside the school.
   3. Implementing measures such as guiding language learning in listening, speaking, reading, and writing dimensions to concretely support and enhance the quality of bilingual teaching and students' learning outcomes.
3. Enhancement of International Sustainable Development:
