The 2022 Teaching Reform Project in All-English Curriculum Construction Appraisal Meeting was held online at noon, Friday. This is the first face-to-face (online) teaching demonstration exchange for all-English curriculum construction held in Communication University of China (CUC) and presided by Deputy Dean of the School of International Studies. Three professors from Beijing Normal University, Capital Medical University and Beijing International Studies University were invited as external experts for the appraisal.

From 11 different schools of CUC, 14 teachers who had applied for the all-English curriculum project presented the key chapter contents, teaching methods and teaching ideas of their proposed courses in full English. Three experts highly appreciated their thorough preparations, and asked questions about the specific teaching links based on the contents of the applications, as well as conducted brief exchanges with the teachers on the teaching characteristics and the internal logic of course construction.

The review experts said that they were very pleased to see the young and middle-aged teachers in our school devote themselves to teaching activities and researches with vigor and enthusiasm. They praised the English teaching abilities of the teachers, especially those who don't teach English, and gave approval to the foundation of the courses taught in full English. The experts also emphasized that the difference between teaching in English and teaching in Chinese was not only limited to the change of the teaching language, but also covered the internal changes of teaching methods and teaching ideas, which require teachers to further study and explore.

Promoting the construction of all-English curriculum is an important tool for our school to propel the progress of education internationalization. It aims to encourage the young and middle-aged teachers as well as teachers with overseas study backgrounds in CUC to offer all-English courses for students to spur the undergraduate education of CUC on to adapt to the era development and achieve the leapfrog.
