英語教學資源中心即將迎來兩場令人期待的國際學術交流，積極推動雙語教育深化與國際合作的契機。4月17日（四）下午14:45–15:45，本中心將接待來自美國紐約市立大學（CUNY）史泰登島學院的兩位學者——Koral Caruso 講師與 Tatiana Pankratova 講師，他們將蒞臨中心交流。

兩位學者分別來自英語教學及大學預備課程領域，專長於寫作教學與語言支持策略。Caruso 講師長期教授大一寫作課程，擅長鼓勵學生透過主動參與和反思來建構知識，以及實踐文化回應教學策略，尊重並融入不同學生的文化背景。Pankratova 講師則在 CUNY Start 計畫中，致力於幫助英語非母語學生發展語言與學術能力，強調實用與互動並重的教學設計。此次來訪將聚焦於EMI教學策略、學術寫作輔導及多語學生支持系統的經驗分享，並洽談未來潛在的合作可能。

此外，我們也即將於4月21日（一）上午11:30迎接來自捷克的呂維倫（Wei-Lun Lu）副教授蒞臨本中心。呂博士現任馬薩里克大學（Masaryk University）文學院副教授，研究領域橫跨認知語言學、文化語言學與語用學，特別關注語言與文化的交互關係。他對 EMI 教學有豐富的理論貢獻與實務洞見，預計將與本中心探討語言教學設計、隱喻與文化視角在課堂中的應用，激盪出更多跨文化教學的創新靈感。

感謝三位國際學者蒞臨政大英語教學資源中心！政大英語教學資源中心持續以國際學者交流為橋梁，拓展教師視野、深化雙語教育實踐。我們誠摯期待這兩場精彩的交流活動，為政大打造更具國際力的教學環境與學術社群！

The NCCU EMI Resource Center is delighted to welcome two upcoming international academic visits, which marks important steps forward in the advancement of bilingual education and international collaboration at National Chengchi University. On Thursday, April 17th, from 14:45 to 15:45, we will be meeting two esteemed faculty members from the College of Staten Island, City University of New York (CUNY): Lecturer Koral Caruso from the Department of English, and Lecturer Tatiana Pankratova from the CUNY Start Program. They will be visiting our center to engage in professional dialogue and mutual exchange.

Both visiting scholars bring expertise in English instruction and college preparatory education, with a focus on writing pedagogy and language support strategies. Lecturer Caruso has extensive experience teaching first-year writing courses and employs a student-centered approach grounded in active learning and reflective thinking. She also implements culturally responsive teaching practices, integrating diverse student backgrounds into the learning environment. Lecturer Pankratova, as part of the CUNY Start Program, specializes in supporting English language learners in developing both linguistic and academic skills, emphasizing interactive and practical teaching design. Their visit will center on exchanging ideas about EMI (English as a Medium of Instruction) strategies, academic writing support, and multilingual student engagement, while also exploring opportunities for future collaboration.

In addition, we look forward to welcoming Dr. Wei-Lun Lu, Associate Professor at the Faculty of Arts, Masaryk University, Czech Republic, on Monday, April 21st at 11:30 AM. Dr. Lu’s research encompasses cognitive linguistics, cultural linguistics, and pragmatics, with a particular emphasis on the interface between language and culture. His work offers both theoretical and practical insights into EMI instruction. During his visit, he will engage with the NCCU EMI Resource Center to discuss the design of language teaching, metaphor in classroom discourse, and cultural framing, aiming to inspire further innovations in cross-cultural education.

We extend our sincere thanks to these three international scholars for visiting the NCCU EMI Resource Center. The center continues to use international academic exchange as a bridge to broaden instructional perspectives and deepen the implementation of bilingual education. We look forward to these exciting visits and the rich conversations that will help us build a more globalized and inclusive academic community at NCCU.
