The Department of Foreign Languages and Literature (FLLD) was one of the original departments of Tunghai University, established in 1955. At present, the Department focuses on undergraduate courses for English Majors, with courses in the MA Program in Teaching English as a Foreign Language and language courses in German, French, and Spanish for all Tunghai students. Approximately 400 students are majoring in English, 50 students are enrolled in the MA Program in TEFL, and around 600 students taking second foreign language courses. The Department has 24 full-time and 18 part-time faculty members to support these different programs. Tunghai FLLD’s unique tradition mandates small classes taught in English, and teacher-student relationships are close providing students with plenty of individual attention. In its long history, the Department of Foreign Languages and Literature has cultivated many well-educated students who are at the forefront in their fields.
