Total enrollment of undergraduate students (by class size) accords with the numbers prescribed by the Ministry of Education for elementary-teaching students, with 35 students in each class. The master’s program recruits 12 students per year, in principle, but also accepts ethnic Taiwanese students who were born abroad, exchange students, and students from Mainland China. Currently the department defines itself as an educational unit specializing in the training of English instructors that works to integrate both English education and general knowledge in its students. Its educational goal is to prepare global-minded English educators and related professionals for participation in today’s society.
