The study was designed to prioritize a plethora of factors that may affect or impede the success of implementing a MICE professional English program as an educational innovation at a tertiary context in Taiwan. Through the utilization of modified Delphi method and analytic hierarchy analysis (AHP), priorities were generated in a comprehensive format pertaining to the top five factors critical to successful implementation of the intended program. The study offers practical implementations by pointing to the importance of detecting highly prioritized factors. It was recommended that the intended group of implementers reduce the hindering factors and maximize the supportive ones for all engaged in the implementation process. The method introduced will help future researchers understand how ESP programs can be implemented effectively in other settings to achieve maximum impact. Several practical and research implications were discussed.

Emotional and psychological health is being recognized as one of the key determinants of an individual's overall wellness. The objective of the study was to detect a sample of university students' dominant lifestyle type with a focus on emotional aspect of health function. A sample of 280 university students in Taiwan was assessed by the Lifestyle Type Indicator (LSTI). The results indicated that the dominant lifestyle type for the sample of university students was Believer (Type B). A gender breakdown analysis showed that there existed a significant difference between male and female students' dominant lifestyle type. Achiever (Type A) was the dominant lifestyle type among male students, while Believer (Type B) was the dominant type of female students. Through the extension of the assessment and intervention processes, the study will provide new opportunities for helping college/university students navigate and pursue meaningful life throughout the challenges and transitional phase of their university life.
