The Department of Foreign Languages at University of Chinese Academy of Sciences was established in 1978. Founded by Li Pei, the Mother of Applied Linguistics in China, the Department of Foreign Languages offered the first-ever master’s program in applied linguistics in China. It has graduate programs in linguistics as well as a Master of Translation and Interpreting program. It also provides English courses for non-English majors at both the undergraduate and graduate levels and provides second foreign language courses in Japanese, German, and French. The Department of Foreign Languages has established multiple study and research centers — including the Academic English Writing Center, Language and Cognition Center, Academic English Teacher Development Center, and Translation Studio — to support and facilitate the interdisciplinary research, especially at the intersection of liberal arts and sciences, which is the focus of the Department of Foreign Languages.
