Based on whole-person education, we emphasize the acquisition of professional knowledge, teaching skills, and the formation of sound work ethics to cultivate professional personnel in foreign language teaching who, in consequence, will have a well-balanced personality, strong ethical values, and a positive and healthy attitude toward educating young people. Students will also acquire a solid academic foundation to enable them to pave the way for better foreign language teaching quality in Taiwan.

Our courses largely focus on training students to teach foreign languages, and to design foreign language curriculum and multimedia materials. Courses include enhanced competence in two foreign languages, expertise in language teaching in theory and practice, cultural and cross-cultural communication courses, implementation of instructional technology in language teaching, literature for children and young adults, testing and evaluation of foreign language learning, methodology of education research, and domestic and overseas internships.
