On the afternoon of April 15th, 2018, the Faculty of Foreign Languages (FFL) of Ton Duc Thang University (TDTU) celebrated its 20th Anniversary (16/04/1998-16/04/2018) with the attendance of the Presidential Board, faculty leaders, staff members, students, alumni, and many business partners.
Delivering a speech at the anniversary, Dr. Ngo Thi Thanh Van, Dean of the Faculty of Foreign Languages, has briefed key milestones in the Faculty's 20-year journey and appealed for voluntariness in the teacher-student community to work together to build a strong, united family and achieve greater accomplishments in the future.
As one of the first specialized faculties at TDTU, the FFL has overcome many difficulties to achieve numerous successes in the fields of education, research, international relations, business partnership, etc.. These positive outcomes have resulted from rigorous, committed efforts of faculty members as well as the contributions of many business partners and batches of students. The FFL’s rate of graduate employability has reached 100% after 1-year graduation. Moreover, the FFL has been proactively implementing the political tasks of the university, namely training students on TDTU’s other campuses in Nha Trang, Bao Loc and Ca Mau, raising the total number of students of the Faculty of Foreign Languages over the past 20 years to nearly 8,500 in 3 disciplines: English Studies, Chinese Studies, and Chinese-English Studies. Particularly, the FFL has successfully defended the proposal for Master's program in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) and is planning to enrol the first cohort in June, 2018.
