  teachers of English at Chinese colleges, senior
  schools, with the knowledge of economic and
  technological globalization and growing
  interdependence between nations, as well as the
  their impact on education, social life etc. and
• 3) to promote the understandings between nations
  and countries, and the need of taking actions to
  contribute to the common good of the human beings
  all over the world.

Resources and needs

• NENU has rich resources in teaching and learning.
  Over 40 teachers in English Department and
  e-business Department of Foreign Languages School
  can communicate in fluent English. Many teachers
  and researchers are interested in American
  studies (i.e. U.S Studies Center offering M.A and
  PhD degrees Comparative Education Center,
  offering PhD degrees Curriculum Design
  Teaching Methodology Center, offering both MA and
  PhD degrees American Literature Studies,
  offering MA degrees Comparative Literature
  Studies, offering, PhD degrees Linguistics and
  applied linguistics offering both M.A. and PhD
  degrees. Computer labs are available all over the
  two campuses, which make it possible to work on
  the internet for the course. Books and magazines
  are available in Chinese concerning issues of
  globalization and educational reforms. However,
  translations are needed from Chinese into English
  and references need updating when the materials
  are sorted out and compiled to use for the course
  and so on (ef. Budge is together with the group).
• Name of the course needs to be changed into
  possibly Current World Studies or Globalization
  Studies (rather than globalization alone) in
  order to conform to the Chinese context or the
  current curriculum.
