First of all, Vice Dean Zhang elaborated on the relevant requirements and material preparation for curriculum evaluation work. He emphasized that curriculum evaluation is a fundamental work to ensure teaching quality and continuously improve curriculum teaching. He required all teachers to adopt a rigorous and pragmatic attitude, sort out and submit supporting materials including curriculum syllabuses, assessment documents and records of formative evaluation in accordance with the requirements for evaluation materials on schedule, so as to ensure that the evaluation data are true, complete and valid, thus providing a reliable basis for the scientific decision-making of major development.

Subsequently, Gu Yulan, Director of the English Teaching and Research Section highlighted the core task of the first phase of normal university certification rectification work — comprehensively optimizing the supporting relationship and intensity of each course to the graduation requirements. Based on the certification report, she provided feedback to the teachers on the major issues existing in the connection between the curriculum system of the English major and the graduation requirements, and put forward specific optimization principles and adjustment ideas. The seminar made it clear that this work is the cornerstone of the rectification work, aiming to ensure that the teaching objectives, contents, methods and assessment methods of each course can clearly, effectively and strongly support the achievement of graduation requirements. The completion of this work will lay a solid foundation for the comprehensive revision of curriculum syllabuses and the promotion of in-depth reform of curriculum contents and teaching modes.

This seminar has unified the thinking, clarified the direction and assigned responsibilities, laying a solid foundation for the orderly and efficient implementation of the normal university certification rectification work for the English education program. Moving forward, the SFL will continue to take certification rectification as the key focus, deepen the reform of education and teaching, constantly improve the talent cultivation system, and make contributions to cultivating high-quality and professional English education talents.
