The School of Languages features interdisciplinary studies of literature and economics, business English studies, WTO literature translation, and corpus studies. Our research, based on the humanities and conjoining the humanities, business, is mainly on interdisciplinary studies of literature and economics, and Scottish and Irish literature. In addition, we have published several representative works and textbooks, focusing on studies of business ethics, cultural trade services, and business translation and interpretation theories and practices. Moreover, we have translated the Foreign Market Access Report and other documents for the Ministry of Commerce for seven consecutive years. The research on the application of business translation corpus and the discourse system has also made progress.

Adhering to the principle of pursuing innovation based on what has worked in the past, the School has, taking the opportunity of developing the new liberal arts and keeping in line with the trend of AI, digital economy, and social development, strived actively for research on cooperative learning and dynamic language ability supported by human-machine conversation and education technology. In the past five years, we have succeeded in applying for 8 national projects and 27 provincial/ministerial projects and published more than 200 papers in journals with high impact factors.
