Peter Han, senior manager of INFLUENCE and an author of "Presentation Latte," dealt with "Skills for English Presentations." And Ho-Yul Lee, director of the Int'l Operations Team of HUMC and an author of "English for Meetings," gave a lecture on "English for Meetings and Discussions and Expressions for Chairpersons."

"I am very delighted to have this opportunity to share some of English experts' experiences. I am certain that to all of you including doctors, nurses, administrations who are working for the hospital, a command of the English language is a must to compete with others in the era of globalization. So I will endeavor to provide you with this chance again to learn advanced English," Dr. Hyung-Jik Kim, committee chairman, said in his opening remarks.
