The Keshan Disease Surveillance in China
In June, the teachers from the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) gave a short course of Intensive English Training in Speaking and Writing to HMU faculty members. The trainees were recommended by various colleges, with the potential to improve in their English speaking and writing. Mr. Steve Holland-Wempe and Mrs. Xanath Caraza-De-Holland from the UMKC Applied Language Institute offered the trainees the opportunity to enjoy the glamour of genuine American teaching. In the class, the communicative approach inspired the trainees to interact between themselves and with the instructors. The trainees seemed to study in a classroom of UMKC.
