Conferences have become one of the most effective ways to generate and disseminate knowledge on important issues. This book touches on all aspects of a conference, so readers can become more familiar with the specific vocabulary and phrases used in an English conference.
The author of the book served as the first WTO ambassador of Taiwan from 2002 to 2005. Throughout the book, readers will become equipped with knowledge of how to function in different roles for business, political, or academic conferences.
The second edition contains more useful phrases—as well as new examples of speeches and dialogues to better prepare readers for international conferences. There are also two new sections in this edition; giving readers a more profound view of the expressions used in speeches.
Dr. Yen is currently the Chair Professor of Law in CK Yen Foundation, Soochow University. Serving as finance minister from 2000 to 2002, he brought about the first-ever financial reform to Taiwan’s financial market. A longtime expert in GATT/WTO law, Dr. Yen was appointed to serve as Taiwan’s first WTO ambassador from 2002 to 2005. He also has been a prolific author of taxation and GATT/WTO law.
