研討會背景與主題：

Conference Theme and Topics:

EMI has been a global trend in higher education institutions. In 2021, MOE (Republic of China, Taiwan) launched the "BEST Program," which aims to enhance English Medium Instruction (EMI) courses development. Under this new bilingual education policy, colleges and universities in Taiwan are encouraged to offer EMI courses. As the BEST program has run for nearly two and half years, instructors, students and administrators alike have witnessed some major changes in pedagogy and experienced accompanying stress and challenges. Hence the organizers notice the need for calling such a conference, given the development of ChatGPT and emphasis of SDGs.

College of Management, Asia University, is ranked the second position in Taiwan by Times Higher Education in the subject, business and economics, and is accredited by AACSB. Here, this 2024 International Conference on Multidisciplinary Bilingual Education and Management will be held on Jun. 14, 2024 at Asia University (AU), Taichung, Taiwan. The conference aims at providing a platform for dialogues and interactions between practitioners and academics in higher education on issues related to EMI, with special emphasis on the six tracks below:
