As internationalization entails more varied and frequent interaction/negotiation with other cultures and societies on formal occasions, this course will provide training for those students who are interested in pursuing careers in public relations and conference organization. Students will learn about professionalism in this developing field as well as the special register of English used on such formal occasions, the rhetorical skills of negotiation, and the logistics of conference management. In addition, students will be required to attend international conferences during the course of the semester and to make reports on the operation of conferences during class.

Students are expected to keep up with weekly readings, attend classes, make group reports and individual reports, and carry out other assignments.

Grading: in-class performance 40%, group report 40%, Homework 20%
