Beijing Foreign Studies University is a key institution of higher learning in China. Selected as one of the universities supported by the State for "2 1 1 Project" and "985 Project".

First of all, the background of Beiwai being selected as "2 1 1 project" can be traced back to the early 1990s. At that time, the country carried out profound reforms in higher education and put forward the goal of building a number of first-class universities in China.

Under this background, the "2 1 1 project" aimed at supporting and cultivating a number of internationally competitive universities came into being. As one of them, Beijing Foreign Studies University has obtained a lot of funds and preferential policies, which is very beneficial to promote the development of colleges and universities and improve the level of teaching and scientific research.

Secondly, the background of Beiwai being selected as the "985 Project" can be traced back to the late 1990s and the beginning of this century. This project is developed on the basis of "Project 2 1 1" and is also an important part of the national innovation-driven development strategy.

As one of the universities selected by the "985 Project", Beijing Foreign Studies University undertakes more social responsibilities and historical missions. We should not only make greater achievements in traditional disciplines such as language and culture, diplomatic translation, but also strengthen basic theoretical research and actively promote the transformation and application of major scientific research achievements.

Beijing Foreign Studies University is a key university supported by "2 1 1 Project" and one of the universities selected by "985 Project". This means that Beijing Foreign Studies University plays a very important role in the higher education system, with rich academic accumulation, superior resource conditions and policy support, thus making outstanding contributions to higher education and foreign language talents training in China.

However, as a university selected for "2 1 1 Project" and "985 Project", Beijing Foreign Studies University still faces many challenges in its future development. The first is the challenge of the transformation of teaching mode. With the rapid development of Internet and information technology, students' learning styles and needs have changed greatly. How to adapt to the trend of the times and transform into a digital and intelligent teaching mode has become a problem to be solved at present.

Secondly, the challenge of language talents training under the background of internationalization. Under the trend of globalization, language ability and intercultural communication ability have become more and more important qualities. Beiwai needs to actively respond to the national "going out" strategy, cultivate more internationally competitive language talents, further strengthen exchanges and cooperation with higher education institutions around the world, and enhance Beiwai's influence and reputation on a global scale.

Finally, there is the challenge of innovation. Beijing Foreign Studies University needs to strengthen basic research, attach importance to the exploration and application of innovative achievements, actively promote the deep integration of Industry-University-Research, further promote the combination of science and technology and industry, and better serve the social and national economic development.

In the future development, Beijing Foreign Studies University needs to take the times first, keep up with the pace of scientific and technological innovation, conform to the changing needs and trends, actively explore new teaching and research models, train more outstanding language talents and cross-cultural communication experts, further enhance its popularity and influence at home and abroad, and make greater contributions to the development of higher education and foreign language undertakings in China.
