Outline of the event
As the globalization of higher education accelerates, such as the enhancement of support for international students and the promotion of collaborative projects with overseas universities, it can be said that the time has finally arrived when the English proficiency of university faculty and staff is indispensable as a basic ability. The program will be implemented from 2013 with the aim of improving the English proficiency of faculty and staff of member universities and junior colleges that can respond to such times, as well as raising awareness of language learning in the future.
