        The School of Foreign Languages at NCEPU was established in November 2003 and is composed of the English Departments at Beijing and Baoding.

        Currently, our school has 150 faculty members, of which 132 are full-time instructors, including 10 professors and 32 associate professors. More than 70% of teachers have obtained the master’s degree or correspondence educational background. The school can confer bachelor’s and master’s degrees in English Language and Literature. There are 15 graduate student supervisors, and it makes an annual recruitment of 90 undergraduate students and 40 graduate students of English language and literature. At present, there’re 368 undergraduates and 93 graduates at the school.

        The school now has 22 digital language laboratories with 1094 seats. It undertakes the foreign language teaching tasks for undergraduates and graduates from English majors and offers university-wide courses related to English, Japanese, French and Russian for the graduates, undergraduates, adult education and correspondence students as well.

        Our school attaches great importance to academic research and has won scientific research project and teaching achievement awards at provincial and ministerial level several times. A lot of academic papers have been published in“Modern Foreign Languages”, “Foreign Language Teaching”, “Foreign Languages Research”, “Foreign Language World”, “Chinese Translator’s Journal”, “Media in Foreign Language Instruction”, “Shandong Foreign Language Teaching Journal”,“Teaching English in China”, “Foreign Language in China”, and “Curriculum Teaching Material and Method” .

        The school emphasizes the cultivation of faculty with the existing resources and tries to build a high-quality team in four ways: young teachers are required to earn a master’s degree; those with a master’s degree are encouraged to do PhD study; some teachers will specialize in academic research; other teachers are expected to become experts in pedagogy.

        In recent years, our school has sent a large number of outstanding talents to society. The students cultivated in our school have good command of English language and extensive cultural knowledge. The rate of eligible graduates who have passed the Postgraduate Entrance Examination was at 20 percent or more. Many graduates with outstanding achievements were admitted to Peking University, Renmin University of China, China University of Political Science and Law, Beijing Normal University, Fudan University, Shanghai International Studies University and other prestigious universities, majoring in English, law, education and so on. The graduate employment rate was above 95 percent and they are well received by the employment units. The students won many honorary titles awarded by the nation, the province or ministry. They also won various nationwide English contests with the top awards.

        ForeignLanguages Schoolwill keep pace with the times, seek truth and innovation and determine to reform within the framework of development plans of the University’s “11th Five-Year Plan”. Centering on the undergraduate education, we’ll build some new specialties on the basis of improving the quality of existing professional education, form an academic research echelon focusing on graduate education, sparkplug the research-teaching mode for postgraduates, and introduce cross-discipline and inter-discipline academic achievements into the curriculum based on high teaching quality.
