Teaching without research is superficial, and research without teaching is empty. In order to further explore the teacher education accreditation standard system and promote the accreditation of English teacher education courses, the Department of English successfully held a special teaching and research activity on May 22nd with the theme of ‘Interpretation of Standards and Discussion on the Determination of Teacher Education Courses and Practice Credits’.
