A presentation for the 15th Asia TEFL International Conference-64th TEFLIN International Conference, held in Yogyakarta, July 2017
Business degree courses taught in English is one of the greatest growth areas in education. Because English medium programs are being taught around the world, even less developed countries, off the beaten path, such as Cambodia, are receiving international and exchange students. Delivering business courses in an English medium presents a number of issues, for example, who will be the teachers? The three options explored in this presentation are: 1. Local professors with subject knowledge, but questionable ability to teach in English, 2. Very expensive foreign professors who may not know how to scale their language and workload to meet the needs of a second language audience, or 3. ESL teachers who know how to communicate well with and motivate L2 students, but who may not be subject experts.
An inspirational presentation at Blue Mountain, Torrens University, Suzhou, China Campus
By Antonio Graceffo, PhD, China-MBA, Diplom Licentiate TESOL
Antonio draws parallels from his own life to those of his literary heroes Edgar Rice Burroughs, Sir Richard Francis Burton, Jack London, Louis L’Amour, and Ernest Hemingway. These men all lived incredible lives and were unusually prolific.
China's One Belt One Road Initiative is one of the largest projects ever undertaken by humans. It includes roads, ports, fiber optic cables, and pipelines, running from Singapore, North through ASEAN, to China, Xinjiang, Central Asia, Pakistan, and Iran. Along the route, the project brings
economic growth, human development, and the spread of the Chinese language. In Cambodia, The Belt and Road is also bringing about a resurgence of Chinese identity among Cambodia’s ethnic Chinese community. This presentation looks at the history of Chinese education in Cambodia and how it has dramatically increased, due to the Belt and Road Initiative.

British Author, George Orwell (1903-1950) was a socialist and adventurer, British Empire policeman in Burma and a volunteer in the Spanish Civil War. He lived among the poor in London and Paris, as well as among coal miners in Wigan. He was a socialist, but one who wrote commercially successful works. His greatest contribution to both literature and political science was 1984 which has been used by both the left and the right to prove the evils of the opposing political view.
America was born in a revolution, tempered in a civil war and passed its adolescence in the Jazz Age. F. Scott Fitzgerald was author of that age, and all of the famous notables who moved within his sphere were characters he created. The stock market crash in 1929 signaled the end of the feast. The Great Depression was an adult tragedy which had no place for America’s eternal youth. Finding no place in this world, Scott chose to move on to the next one. In 1940, he moved on leaving us with four and a half novels and 178 short stories. Of all the books written about the jazz age, Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby is the one which is universally regarded as the best and most accurate depiction of the era. Many scholars believe The Great Gatsby is the Greatest American novel.
On November 8, 2016 Donald Trump was elected president of the United States. His election sparked protests across the United States and demonstrated how divided the nation is on President Trump. He assumed office on January 20th, 2017, with an approval rating of only 48%, one of the lowest of any incoming president in history. He banned travel to the US from 7 Muslim countries, insulted the leaders of Germany, Mexico, and Australia, pulled America out of the Transpacific Partnership, threatened protectionist tariffs and taxes on foreign imports, and he packed his cabinet with pro-Taiwan and anti-China pundits.
War hero, big game hunter, fisherman, and arguably the greatest American writer of all time. Hemingway gave the world 10 novels, 10 collections of short stories, 5 works of non-fiction, and 21 movies based on his writing.
In return, he was awarded Pulitzer Prize for Fiction (1953) and the Nobel Prize in Literature (1954).
Some say that his greatest literary work was his life. He became the character, Ernest Hemingway. He believed boxing, war, hunting, and bull fighting were the bravest things a man could do.

China is ASEAN’s largest trading partner and a growing economic force in the Asia-Pacific region. Thousands of miles away, America has a new president, Donald Trump, who is threatening to enact anti-China trade policies and to remove the United States from the Transpacific Partnership. This presentation will explore China’s importance in Asia, as well as how changes in Trump-China trade policies will impact ASEAN.
Donald Trump has packed his cabinet with advisors who are pro-Taiwan and anti-China. Most notably,
Trump's Anti-China Triumvirate:
Robert Lighthizer - US trade representative
Wilbur Ross - Secretary of Commerce
Peter Navarro - Newly created White House National Trade Council
He says he will withdraw from the TPP and levy a 45% tariff on Chinese imports. This report will explore the impact of these actions on US small businesses.
The US is China’s number one export partner. For most of the last eight years, China has been the largest holder of US debt. The two countries are closely linked economically. As the world’s number one and number two economies, trade between these giants effects the entre globe. Donald Trump is accusing China of currency manipulation and unfair trade, vowing to remove the US from the Transpacific Partnership and to levy a 45% tariff on Chinese products. He is also threatening a 35% tax on US companies who export jobs to China. This presentation will explore these concepts in detail as well as look at the possible outcome of a trade war between the US and China.
