[Uniting in Strength and Fortifying Foundations:] School of Languages and Communication Studies Advances All Aspects of Undergraduate Teaching During Epidemic Prevention Period. 

To implement the university’s “Notice on Arrangements for Online Undergraduate Teaching During the Postponed Spring Semester 2019–2020” and the school’s “Work Plan and Contingency Plan for Undergraduate Teaching During the Epidemic Prevention Period”, and to thoroughly complete all preparatory tasks for undergraduate teaching before the semester begins, the School of Languages and Communication Studies has formulated the “Checklist for Online Teaching Preparations During the Spring Semester 2020 Epidemic Prevention Period”. This aims to fulfill the teaching inspection requirements outlined in the “University Notice on Completing and Inspecting All Teaching Preparations Before the Semester Starts”. Currently, the school has fully completed the “one-course-one-plan” contingency proposals for all 106 courses and the relevant teaching preparations for 206 classes scheduled for the 2019-2020 Spring Semester. Faculty members are required to actively participate in training on the use of online platforms organized by the state, the university, and the school, as well as in related testing and trial broadcasts. All members of the school’s laboratory have been working diligently, extensively exploring and recommending online platforms and software, while providing robust technical support and guidance to the school’s teaching staff. All 92 undergraduate course instructors at the school have established WeChat groups for their classes. Through the joint efforts of the Academic Management Office and the Student Working Group, details such as course delivery methods, schedules, online teaching requirements, and assessment methods have been communicated to every student in each class, ensuring full coverage of notifications. The school has also completed checks on the online access conditions for both teachers and students. While teaching facilities for instructors have been properly arranged, efforts have been made to resolve online learning access issues for a small number of students. Additionally, the school’s supervision team has reviewed 114 “one-plan-per-course” contingency proposals and assessed 22 MOOCs selected by faculty members. Courses deemed unsuitable have been replaced to ensure the smooth operation of teaching activities. During the epidemic prevention period, the School of Languages and Communication Studies will continue to proactively advance and diligently carry out all preparatory tasks for undergraduate teaching. Throughout the online teaching process, the faculty members will uphold a highly responsible attitude, remain committed to their mission and responsibilities, strictly uphold professional ethics, and spread positive energy. This ensures the steady progress of undergraduate teaching, maintains course quality, and fulfills the university’s overarching requirement to “suspend classes without stopping learning.”
