Before the start of the study abroad program, professors from different nationalities will conduct a PBL program to immerse students with the English language, with the aim to equip students with the necessary English Language skills (reading, writing, conversation, group discussion and presentation) for students to conduct their research during their study abroad program. For the English immersion PBL program, the general rule is to use only strictly English, and there will be plenty of practice to enable students to communicate effectively at their study abroad university. International exchanges is further enhanced as students going on study abroad programs together with international students here on short term visit, organize and participate in joint seminars, research presentation sessions and social gatherings. On top of this, to encourage students to better their English Language skills and to measure the students’ improvement in their acquisition of the language fairly, we require all our students who are going for study abroad programs to sit for the TOEFL test before and after the study abroad program.
