Foreign Languages and Literature and Applied Linguistics at Nanjing Normal University is an undergraduate program that combines advanced study of foreign languages and literatures with the scientific analysis of how language is learned, used, and taught. The curriculum develops comprehensive language skills — including listening, speaking, reading, writing, translation, and intercultural communication — while also grounding students in linguistic theory, language acquisition, sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, and applied language methodology. Students explore the literary, cultural, and historical contexts of foreign languages alongside practical and theoretical approaches to language teaching and learning, giving them both deep cultural insight and a strong methodological foundation. Through a blend of language study, linguistic analysis, and pedagogical engagement, graduates develop critical thinking, communication, and research skills. This prepares them for careers in language education, translation and interpretation, curriculum design, international communication, and language policy, as well as for advanced study in applied linguistics, TESOL, linguistics, or related humanities and social sciences fields.
