About the Department of Applied Foreign Languages
In December of 2018, the Executive Yuan approved a blueprint drafted by the National Development Council to develop Taiwan into a bilingual nation by 2030. This department was established on August 1st, 2019 under the supervision of the Ministry of National Defense, the Army Headquarters, and the Ministry of Education. In response to the challenges posed by the increasing reliance on the Internet and the emergence of the online world, and the need for multinational military operations, our program has been designed to cultivate NCOs who, first and foremost, see themselves as the backbone of the R.O.C. Army, and also as members of this international community, i.e., as global citizens. They are expected to learn to use foreign languages, specifically English as the first foreign language and Spanish or Japanese as the second foreign language, for a practical purpose in the military field in which they specialize.

To help the cadets to monitor their own improvement, they are encouraged to take the annual TOEIC test on campus at the end of their first year of study at the Army Academy.
