The Department of Foreign Languages and Literature

The Department of Foreign Languages and Literature is divided into two programs: English Program and Japanese Program. Both programs emphasize on basic four-skill training in order to give the students a solid language-training foundation. The design of the curriculum of the Department is based on cultivation of the students’ interests and development of their potential. Courses include applied writing courses, translation projects, literary courses, advanced English/Japanese oral presentation courses, and cultural studies. The Department also encourages students to engage in extra-curricular activities and participate in students’ activities on a global scale.

Department of Administration & Management

In order to follow government-mandated policy, the Department of Administration Management is committed to training students with professional abilities.

The Department is using the latest computer technology in planning, executing, and evaluating public policies. In addition, the Department is actively pursuing academic researches in related fields in order to obtain a leading position in this area.

Center of General Education

As the university puts equal emphasis on professional and liberal arts education, the Center of General Education is given the responsibility to promote the school’s cultural capacity. Teaching guidelines for the center are based on the following principles:

• Provide balanced education with diverse thinking patterns.
•Give students the ability to perform daily function.
•Cultivate college graduates with basic social knowledge.

Curriculum for general education is becoming more diverse, IT-driven and future-oriented. It also covers Chinese, constitution and history. Extracurricular activities encourage students to investigate local historical and cultural events and speeches.

The center aims to expand students beyond their expertise and promote balanced development of cultural and technical sides of youths. Thus the Center actively encourages teachers to pursue further education and teacher-student interaction in hopes of enhancing student vision with regard to knowledge and thinking by extending beyond classroom education. The Center will continue to build external partnership by participating in local arts and cultural events as well organizing arts/cultural and technology campaigns. Internally, the Center will enhance the diversity and practicality of programs as well as improve faculty quality in hopes of introducing diverse knowledge to and enhance cultural level of university students.

Experts and scholars are invited to host speech and seminar regularly. Focusing on both theory and application, the Center provides various professional courses to cultivate excellent middle-school teachers.
