Over years of development, SFLS is now rich in teaching resources and scientific research achievements. It has advanced language labs including package for simultaneous interpretation system and a Japanese culture experience room. With approval of the university authorities, SFLS set up the Research Centre for Foreign Language & Literature, which has been orientated itself gradually in the research fields of George Orwell, children’s literature and translation, applied linguistics and TCM translation and culture communication. According to statistics, about 110 research projects have been funded by various resources, 12 books and 230 papers published in the past five years.

 

SFLS has been striving for international cooperation in education from the very start. Mutual friendly relations have been established with Tokoha University and Hokuriku University in Japan. The cooperative agreement initiated the “2+2” programme model, in which the applicants from SFLS are permitted to complete the first two years of study in their home institution and then transfer to the designated university to finish their final two years and, upon completion of all the courses and if requirements of both sides met, will be conferred double B.A. degrees. Besides, a dozen of collegiate exchange student programs provide the students each year with exciting oversea experience as well as transfer credits.

Mission Statement

SFLS is dedicated to helping students of all disciplines and specialties of WMU to achieve success in college by going all out to enhance their English proficiency as a useful means of communication, which will help make a difference to their individual career and to the community as well. With much emphasis upon the cultivation of the students' overall quality, their participation in various events for truly whole-person education is encouraged. These events will help them learn how to make their time at WMU not just academically rewarding, but also part of a fuller and richer personal learning experience.

Curricular Goals

Our courses of English and Japanese major programs are designed to provide the learners with the target language skills and knowledge necessary for effective communication in English/Japanese. Therefore, the students reinforce their fundamental abilities in foreign language listening, speaking, reading, writing, translating and interpreting while at the same time the curriculum offers a wide range of choices in various concentrations, either to meet the needs of those who plan to continue their graduate study or to provide those who plan to enter the job market with professional knowledge. In order to prepare students to face a technologically advanced, globally competitive and culturally open community, the two programs train the students in textual analysis, communication and critical thinking, thus preparing them for any job requiring English language proficiency, imaginative thinking, analytical thinking and/or communication skills. Equipped with high quality, communicative skills and wide knowledge, the students will find job opportunities in numerous fields, including, but not limited to: international business, marketing, teaching, law, medicine, publishing, advertising and media.
