With a history that dates back to 1985, the Department of Second Foreign Languages, formerly the Section of English Teaching, is a very important part of the College of foreign languages. We offer courses in four languages: Japanese, French, German and Spanish, which cover the compulsory second foreign languages for undergraduate and postgraduate students in the School of Foreign Languages, as well as general courses in second foreign languages for undergraduate and postgraduate students across the University.

Our team has eight teachers, all of whom have overseas study experience, and over 70% of whom have PhDs. Thanks to the work of generations of devoted and knowledgeable faculty members, the teaching achievement of DSFL is evidenced. Apart from teaching, the DSFL is also known for the research accomplishments of its faculty members, many of whom have undertaken major research projects at municipal and national levels. In recent years, the DSFL faculty members have published at home and abroad many papers, textbooks, dictionaries and works of translation.

DSFL is actively planning its development goals in line with the orientation of the School of Foreign Languages and is striving to cooperate with the university in building a high-level university with distinctive international characteristics.
