Message from the Dean


The world is witnessing a transformation unseen in a century. Against this backdrop, to deepen mutual learning among civilizations, to tell Chinas story well, and to foster bonds between hearts has become a strategic mission unprecedented for foreign-language studies. With strong support from the university’s well-known subjects of finance, economics and management, the School of Foreign Languages keeps the country’s needs in mind. We serve China’s opening-up policy and the economic growth of our region, train high-level graduates who know both Chinese and foreign cultures, and work hard to improve teaching, learning and research.

Setting sail across the boundless sea of translation, we embark on a new voyage powered by intelligence. The surging wave of AI is profoundly reshaping the landscape of language services. We are keenly aware that, in this new era, graduates must command not only linguistic skills but also intercultural literacy, subject-matter authority, critical thinking and entrepreneurship. The School is therefore spearheading a comprehensive reform of College English teaching model and has meticulously engineered a “golden curriculum” system - GE, ESP and EAP - that significantly elevates our students’ comprehensive communicative competence. These courses have greatly improved our students’ language skills and kept our programme at the top of Jiangxi Province. Meanwhile, we have intensified our investment in signature programmes: BA Program in Business English, designated a national first-class undergraduate specialty, and the Master of Translation and Interpreting (MTI) coalesce into an integrated, feature-rich continuum that seamlessly links undergraduate and postgraduate education. Furthermore, the school also pays special attention to translating Chinese academic works into English and has led several national projects that help Chinese ideas reach the world.

Underpinned by a venerable academic tradition, a structurally balanced faculty and modern facilities, the School is unremitting in its endeavour to foster a superlative intellectual habitat. Our students have won many prizes in national contests such as the National College English Competition, the “FLTRP Cup” series, the National Interpreting Contest and the Japanese Essay Contest. Our team scores have stayed first in Jiangxi Province and show the high level of “JUFE foreign language learners”.

To teach the best young people is the greatest joy. In line with this philosophy, we warmly welcome outstanding young talents who have aspirations to integrate Eastern and Western cultures, engage in international exchanges, and serve national strategies to join the School of Foreign Languages. Here, you will walk alongside knowledgeable  teachers who are dedicated to education , and make progress together with like-minded classmates who pursue excellence. Let us use language as a key to open the door to dialogue between civilizations, and use culture as a bridge to build understanding and trust. On the great road to a shared future for all people, let us spread Chinese wisdom, help every culture grow, and give our language power to the great renewal of the Chinese nation.
