1. At the glance
The Department of Foreign Languages has a 30-year history starting in 1990 on the basis of the Division of Foreign Languages under the Board of Directors. In the early years of its founding, the Department of Foreign Languages received valuable support from VSA (New Zealand). VSA has regularly sent its English teachers to assist the Department in teaching English. In addition, with the help of the University Leaders, the Department of Foreign Languages established close ties with the American Language Institute (ELI). For many years, the Department of Foreign Languages received the services of 2 to 3 ELI teachers, which contributed enormously to improving the quality of English training of the Department of Foreign Languages.
Up to now, the Department of Foreign Languages has grown up with a staff of highly-qualified lecturers, undertaking the task of teaching English, French, Chinese to the University’s students.
In the next phase, the Department of Foreign Languages will continue to develop in the direction of expanding the scale of training. At the same time, the Department will submit the proposal for the runnning of the Theory & Methodology of English Language Teaching and PhD English Language programs to help the Department become a prestigious foreign languages training center in not only Central Vietnam and the Central Highlands but also the whole country, contributing greatly to the continuous development of Quy Nhon University and its educational innovation of the country.
