校長致詞稿

Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen, Good Morning.

On behalf of I-Shou University, I would like to express my cordial welcome to all of you for attending the Conference on Applied English Teaching at our University.

Due to globalization, English has become the most important international language. It is crucial for us to know how to adapt to diverse concepts and cultural recognition in applied English teaching. The teaching strategies and English learners’ motive and attitude are also important issues for successful teaching. We should understand the global trend and revise the content in English education to boost the competitiveness of our students in job market.


The main purpose of this conference is to discuss the applied English education in Taiwan, to share the opinions of English teaching theories among scholars, professors and researchers from all over the world and to brainstorm the new ideas in practical usage. I hope through this conference, we can have innovative conclusions on important issues such as course design and evaluation, teaching methods and researches, learner’s attitude and cultural recognition.

I-Shou University is a distinguished comprehensive university in Taiwan. We have 8 colleges and 16,000 students. We are determined to make our university as an internationalized university. Currently we have MOU with over 170 universities in the world. Our honorable guests are most welcome to collaborate with us.

Kaohsiung is the 2nd largest metropolitan city with about 3 million populations and has many beautiful sightseeing places. Kaohsiung port is the 6th largest container port in the world. I hope all of you will enjoy your stay in our beautiful campus and Kaohsiung city.

Finally, I wish all of you have a fruitful meeting, good health and prosperous career. Thank you very much.
