1. The EMI Teaching Resource Center of our university, in collaboration with The University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin), will organize a customized overseas EMI teacher professional development training program. The program includes classroom observations of UT Austin faculty, workshops, micro-teaching sessions, post-return lesson plan implementation, and outcome tracking.
This program emphasizes the practical application of EMI course design. Through a balanced approach combining classroom observation and hands-on practice, participating teachers will develop EMI lesson plans, implement them in their own classrooms, and thereby promote teaching innovation and professional growth. The program tuition will be fully covered by this project.
