The School boasts 192 faculty members, including 19 professors and 45 associate professors. The school now has seven undergraduate programs in English, Japanese, French, German, Russian and English-Chinese translation.

Now, we have five second-class doctoral degrees in English language and literature, Japanese language and literature, French language and literature, Russian language and literature, foreign linguistics and applied linguistics, one first-class master degree in foreign linguistics, six second-class master degrees in English language and literature, Russian language and literature, French language and literature, Japanese language and literature, German language and literature, and foreign linguistics and applied linguistics.
