By holding mega international events, such as top sports industries, many people have chances to contact with foreign athletes, referees, media reporters, attendants, audience, etc. On the other hand, many metropolis governments usually work hard on gym construction or reconstruction, make the metropolises look beautiful, and then run good business in top sports industries. If some universities or colleges integrate issues on international conferences and exhibition associations of top sports industries into their curricula, they will help students get to know the style, organization as well as many values of the industries (including developing an international friendship, connecting with foreign countries, building exhibition halls, promoting the city image, or increasing job opportunities.) Hopefully, they can help the students expand their world view. The purposes of the current study was to present the effect of a top sports industry, Kaohsiung 2009 World Games from three aspects, including English presentations, English meetings, and the content area instruction of the top sports industry. The subjects in this study were 25 graduate students from the master program of applied English, English Department, in a university. In a project of task-based learning, the graduate students had grown up in five aspects, including (a) promoting their motivations to make English presentations and to hold meetings on their assigned sports and subjects; (b) developing relevant skills, (c) varying the topics on their assigned tasks, (d) becoming familiar with the procedures of English presentations and meetings, (e) expanding their world views. Hopefully, the students would become international experts in different industries in Taiwan or abroad. 摘 要 近年來許多國際都會都加入國際會議及會展協會，以提升知名度，舉辦大型國際活動， 尤其是頂尖運動會，與許多來自世界各國的選手菁英、裁判、媒體人員、服務人員、各國觀 眾. .等進行溝通交流。該國際都會積極建設，重新整頓市容，帶動光觀產業，一舉數得。 若學校將國際會議及會展協會議題納入課程，讓學生知道國際會展之規模組織架構及價值(如 建立國際友誼、與國際接軌、大量建築展覽會館、提升都市形象、或創造就業機會等)，可以 擴展學生視野。 本特色教學研究計畫結合英語簡報、英語會議、及高雄「2009 世界運動會」會展產業， 讓<<應用英語研究所>>學生從做中學習，發展專業英文閱讀、寫作、及口說之能力，並幫忙 推動高雄「2009 世界運動會」會展產業。本特色教學研究計畫目標為(一)培養學生良好之英 3 語簡報與會議動機，(二)強調英語簡報與會議技巧，(三)變化英語簡報與會議主題，(四)落 實英語簡報與會議進行程序，及(五)擴展學生視野，期許將來成為臺灣國內外各產業所需的 國際人才。 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 Insert PPT papers 2x3 here (pages 5-15) 15 3Rs of Internationalization: Resistance, Requirement, Realization Pao-Ann Hsiung 熊博安 Professor and Dean of International Affairs National Chung Cheng University, Taiwan Who does not want internationalization? Just because we are involved in internationalization, we think everyone is interested. However, the opposite is often true. In any department, there is always a colleague who refuses to teach in a non-mother tongue language (English in Taiwan). There are colleagues who will not advise international students. These issues can be resolved by creating “requirements,” which is a basic marketing technique. In this presentation, we try to create requirements corresponding to each different type of issues that university internationalization encounters. How to instill a strong desire for internationalization for professors, management staff, and the university is the focus of this presentation. Talk Objectives 1. To identify issues that can be resolved through inducing requirements. 2. To formulate strategies to resolve the identified issues. 3. To apply the formulated strategies to resolve the issues and obtain reviews on the result of application. 4. To redesign the strategies based feedback. Talk Contents 1. How to alleviate the resistance from professors in teaching courses in English and in supervising international students? 2. How to alleviate the resistance from students who are not willing to go abroad for studies (especially for long-term) and afraid to collaborate with international students? 16 Introduction of Globalization at National Yunlin University of Science and Technology Dr. Shi-Chang Tseng 曾世昌, Professor & Dean, Office of International Affairs National Yunlin University of Science and Technology Abstract Founded in 1991, National Yunlin University of Science and Technology

  • DUKLA Bulletin 2009 Eng.Pdf
    Military Sport Centre Editorial The Military Sport Centre DUKLA does not stand only for a tradition of more than forty years of great sport achieve- ments, it is also a brand of international significance and a guarantee of quality and top results into the future. It joins the majority of the best Slovak individual sportsmen and provides the best possible conditions within the whole Slo- vakia. My relationship with DUKLA’s colours and emblem is a very intimate one. I have spent here more than twen- ty years as an active competitor and so I could get closely acquainted with the obvious quality of the most successful Slovak sport club. During my active professional career, I was honoured to wear the state coat of arms on my jersey and I felt always proud, when I could promote the country of the honest, hearty and hardworking people by means Peter Korčok of sport. I highly appreciate the top sportsmen and their world’s achievements, as I appreciate fair-play and also the challenging work of coaches and support teams. Every day, I do see how demanding, responsible but also necessary is the constant care for and support of sport with DUKLA’s emblem. Therefore I highly appreciate and support those who were helping DUKLA in the past and also those who are still contributing to its prosperity and quality of work at every level. We, in the Military Sport Centre DUKLA, will give our best to work in such a way that would make our annual summing-up more successful than the previous one.

  • Visible Or Invisible Games? a Critique on the Future of the World Games
    PHYSICAL CULTURE AND SPORT STUDIES AND RESEARCH DOI: 10.2478/v10141-010-0003-3 Visible or Invisible Games? A Critique on the Future of the World Games Li-Hong (Leo) Hsu International Olympic and Multicultural Studies Centre (CEO), Da-Yeh University, Taiwan ABSTRACT As the crowded calendar of world sport and the increasing competition between sporting festivals is likely to affect more second-tier global sporting festivals than the Olympic Games (Cashman 2004, p. 134), this paper attempts to answer a few questions concerning the future of the World Games, i.e. a multi-sport mega event. The first and primary question is whether it is worthwhile to host the World Games. In this paper reasoned justification will be provided with a critical eye. Furthermore, questions will be raised about the when and particularly about the where. The content of the World Games’ programs will be briefly discussed and critically evaluated as well. As an example the author will use the 2009 World Games in Kaohsiung, Taiwan for discussion. KEYWORDS World Games, mega event, Kaohsiung I. Introduction For the world of mega-sporting-events, many would agree that the Olympic Games have drawn the most attention, because of their ultimate level of athletic performance. One can also note that there is constant evolution and change in mega-sporting-events around us. With the hope of achieving political, cultural, and economic benefits mega-sporting-events have become a useful means for many countries. With these objectives in mind, the process of bidding for an internationally well-known mega-sporting-event has become very competitive ever since.

    George Pickard, former President of FIRS Inline Hockey and current Chairman of USA Roller Sports Inline Hockey Committee, has through team interviews provided the following assessment of the 2009 year’s American men’s triumphal inline hockey campaigns: XV FIRS MEN’S INLINE HOCKEY WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP The 2009 MEN’S TEAM USA has again successfully defended their International Federation of Roller Sports (FIRS) World Inline Hockey Championship in Varese, Italy, July 6 through 11, 2009. Eight new players formed the 13 man roster after a come-back win last year restored their title in Dusseldorf, Germany. Team USA was not afforded the favorite’s designation this year, as one might expect of the defending champion, largely due to the complete absence of veteran stars that have carried the USA team through the past decade and a half since the organization by FIRS of world inline hockey. The strong national teams of the Czech Republic, Switzerland, Canada and France presented formidable obstacles for these young Americans to overcome. The Czech inline hockey team, as usual, was liberally sprinkled with ice hockey veterans recruited from their nucleus of hockey talent which radiates throughout the professional leagues of Europe and into the NHL of North America. The Swiss and Canadians teams consisted of veteran players who considered hockey victories their natural right and looked upon such accomplishments as mere fulfillment of their national heritage.
