1960, in order to meet the needs of the development of the international and domestic situation at that time, the English major was formally established. In the same year, the Russian language department was officially renamed the Foreign Languages Department. At that time, Zhang Daming, then vice president, was in charge of the English teaching and research section of the Foreign Languages Department and was responsible for setting up English majors. 1974 the department of foreign languages began to set up a Japanese major, with two teachers, Bai Jinshan and Gu, as Japanese teaching tasks. Since then, the Department of Foreign Languages has set up three majors: English, Japanese and Russian.
After the reform and opening up in China, the Foreign Languages Department of Northeast Normal University entered a period of great development. After 1977, Professor Fu began to take over the work of the Foreign Languages Department. Under the guidance of the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, in order to improve teachers' professional level, cultivate more talents and create more scientific research achievements, the leaders of the foreign language department made wise decisions, began to take teaching and scientific research as the central work of the department, adjusted the teaching institutions, and set up eleven teaching and research offices successively, such as Russian teaching and research office, English teaching and research office, Japanese teaching and research office, and foreign language teaching and research office, and hired many English and Japanese experts to teach in our department, thus creating a foreign language. In addition, the Department of Foreign Languages also attaches great importance to the construction of teaching staff, creating opportunities for teachers to study abroad and exchange between schools, comprehensively improving the professional level and quality of young teachers, and cultivating a number of outstanding young teachers.
After 1978, under the situation that the state and schools attach importance to college enrollment, the Foreign Languages Department began to recruit graduate students from 1979 and entered the period of postgraduate education. In the same year, according to the agreement between the Chinese and Japanese governments, the Ministry of Education entrusted our school to set up a preparatory school for Japanese students studying in China, and the Foreign Languages Department undertook the task of setting up a preparatory school for Japanese students studying in China. 198 1, awarded the first master's degree in English language and literature; 1984, the Russian language and literature major is granted the right to master's degree; 1990 Japanese language and literature majors are granted the right to master's degree. The improvement of the level of running a school has laid a solid foundation for the foreign language department to improve the undergraduate teaching level and strengthen the discipline construction.
In the long-term process of running a school, a number of well-known scholars and foreign language education experts at home and abroad have emerged among the older generation of teachers. Professor Qu Bingcheng and Professor Zhao Min of Russian major, Professor Fu, Shu Yilun and Professor Yang Zhenxiong of English major, Professor Bai Jinshan and Professor Gu of Japanese major, and Professor Wang, Professor Wang and Professor Wang of Teaching Method major are outstanding representatives of this team. The academic thoughts and teaching ideas of the older generation of teachers are precious wealth that we should cherish. 1in April, 1996, according to the needs of the reform of the internal management system of Northeast Normal University, the Foreign Languages Department and the Foreign Languages Teaching and Research Department of the school merged to form the Foreign Languages College. The dean of the School of Foreign Languages is a professor, and the secretary of the General Party Branch is Professor Zhang. The establishment of Foreign Language Institute marks a new historical development period for foreign language majors. At the beginning of the college's establishment, the development goal of "12 1 March in a hurry" was put forward, that is, to strive for a doctorate, improve the level of teaching and scientific research, and raise social services to a new level. After several years of construction, at the turn of the century, the discipline construction of the college has achieved leap-forward development. 1998 received a doctorate in Japanese language and literature, and a doctorate in British language and literature in 2000. In order to meet the social demand for foreign language talents under the conditions of reform and opening up and market economy, the college put forward the development strategy of "developing both teachers and non-teachers", and established the department of e-commerce on 200 1 to cultivate compound foreign language talents. In the same year, the Department of Electronic Commerce began to recruit English electronic commerce undergraduates, Japanese electronic commerce undergraduates in 2003 and Russian electronic commerce undergraduates in 2005. 20 10 our hospital added a first-level discipline authorized by doctors and a first-level discipline authorized by masters.
