Small class teaching: this major adheres to the concept of running a small but precise school and emphasizes the close and harmonious communication atmosphere between teachers and students. All specialized courses are taught in small classes. Our training system not only attaches importance to solid language skills, but also emphasizes the comprehensive ability and thinking level that high-level university students should have.
Free choice of research direction: students can have different development directions according to their own interests and specialties in senior grades. For example, people who are interested in continuing their studies and engaging in scientific research or education can prepare for becoming academic talents who study German linguistics, German literature or the national conditions and culture of German-speaking countries by taking relevant courses under the guidance of teachers.

We encourage students to learn to arrange their own time, read more books and communicate more after class, expand their knowledge, and exercise their expressive and critical skills. On the other hand, I actively participate in various activities, such as various student associations and student union organizations, and various cultural festivals (such as welcome party and foreign language culture festival). Various practical training programs (such as innovative training programs for college students, scientific research training programs for college students) and competitions (such as sports meeting and national German professional debate competition) can not only make college life happier and more substantial, but also broaden their horizons and enhance their comprehensive ability.
