Each on-post teacher undertakes at least one teaching task on English professional course every semester.
为拓展学生的国际视野和跨文化交际能力，英语系长期聘任国际教师进行教学并积极寻找其他国际合作的机会。英语系不定期邀请国（境外）知名学者（如宾夕法尼亚州立大学游晓晔博士、香港中文大学Icy Lee教授、美国亚利桑那州立大学Paul Kei Matsuda教授和台湾政治大学刘怡君博士）进行学术交流活动。英语系教师已建成了省级精品课程《综合英语》，主要研究方向包括：英语文学、英语教育、语言学和文化研究等，在国际和国内核心期刊上发表了多篇论文，并通过国际著名学术出版机构罗德里奇出版过专著。当下，英语系全体成员正锐意进取，追求卓越，致力于培养基础扎实、口笔头交流能力强、有竞争力的教学研究型英语专业人才。
In order to expand the students’ international perspective and develop their intercultural communication skills, the Department of English has been actively engaged in hiring international teachers and seeking opportunities for international collaboration. Currently, one American teacher teaches spoken-English-related courses. The Department has invited well-known scholars from home and abroad (such as Professor You Xiaoye of Pennsylvania State University, Professor Icy Lee of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Professor Paul Kei Matsuda of Arizona State University, and Dr. Liu Yijun of Chengchi’s University in Taiwan) to conduct academic exchanges. The Department has provided a Provincial-level Excellent Course "Integrated English." Its teachers’ research primarily focuses on English literature, English education, linguistics, and cultural studies. Some of its teachers have published papers in top international and domestic journals and monographs through internationally acclaimed academic presses such as Routledge. At the present, the members are forging ahead to pursue excellence through action research and teachers’ workshops. They are committed to developing competitive English professionals who have a solid foundation, a global outlook and good communication skills important for language teaching and research in the contemporary world. Below is a list of the English Department’s current teachers and their related professional information.
