The NSYSU 2026 Conference for EMI Quality Assurance, themed "The Art of Observation," builds on the university's 2025 conference, "Quality Ensured, Outcomes Assured," which examined student learning outcomes and course quality assurance mechanisms. This year's conference turns its focus to EMI faculty professional development, classroom observation, and support mechanisms, deepening the practice and application of teaching quality assurance.
Through talks by scholars from Taiwan and abroad, experience sharing by benchmark and key cultivation universities, cross-institutional dialogue, and a poster session, the conference gives universities the opportunity to share their experience in advancing EMI faculty professional development and teaching support systems. It also takes an in-depth look at classroom observation procedures, assessment tools, and feedback mechanisms, as well as the design, practice, and application of microteaching.
Through this exchange of cross-institutional experience and practice, we hope to encourage peer learning, professional dialogue, and teaching reflection among faculty, turn the principles of quality assurance into concrete actions for continuous teaching improvement, and work together to raise the quality of EMI teaching and student learning outcomes.
