The outsourcing/co-sourcing is one of the (new) ways to utilize outer resources including companies in order to make educational outcomes at university more meaningful to the students.

Moreover, by clarifying advantages of co-sourcing of English education at universities, it practiced one co-sourcing trial at the final year on the field of study abroad operation at A university.
