會議與溝通技巧
Jo Ho (Wed  2-5pm, C2-109)   office hour: Tue 2-5pm, C2-338


Course Description 

As internationalization entails more varied and frequent interaction/negotiation with other cultures and societies, this course will provide training for those students who are interested in pursuing careers in academic studies and public relations.  Students will learn about the special register of English used on such formal occasions, the rhetorical skills of negotiation, and the logistics of conference management.  Students will be required to attend a number of different international conferences during the course of the semester and to make reports on the operation of conferences during class.  They will also be required to actually run an international conference to be held on November 27, 2004 as the most important performance test for this semester.
