Since the 2014 academic year, in line with the university’s overall development, the department has shifted its focus to cultivating international English professionals in tourism and business. The relevant professional courses are divided into two modules: Tourism Services and Business Applications. In addition to cultivating students’ excellent English proficiency, they are encouraged to develop tourism and business skills and cross-disciplinary expertise, and to assist students in obtaining relevant professional certifications, thereby becoming the versatile English professionals needed in the globalized era. Furthermore, through collaboration with other departments, we have developed diverse and cross-disciplinary English courses, such as the “International Hospitality English Cross-disciplinary Program” and the “Green Catering Program” jointly offered with the Department of Culinary Arts and Hotel Management and the Department of Food Science and Technology.
