School of Foreign Languages Holds the Second Lecture in the 2026 National Project Application Guidance Series & the Industry Expert Guidance Session for English Major
(Correspondent: Lu Weijia) On the afternoon of March 30, 2026, the School of Foreign Languages successfully hosted the Second Lecture in the 2026 National Project Application Guidance Series and the Industry Expert Guidance Meeting for English Major in the Fourth-floor Conference Room. Professor Yan Chunmei, a doctoral supervisor from the School of Foreign Languages at Central China Normal University, was invited as the guest speaker. The event aimed to assist faculty members in enhancing the quality of their national project applications and provide professional guidance and cutting-edge ideas for the development of the English major and the cultivation of teacher education talents. Hu Chongzhi, Secretary of the Party Committee of the School of Foreign Languages, Ye Huiying and Feng Ting, Vice Deans, as well as teachers from the national project application team, members of research platforms and all faculty of the English Department attended the lecture. The lecture was presided by Vice Dean Ye Huiying and conducted both online and offline simultaneously.
Professor Yan Chunmei has been deeply engaged in the field of foreign language teacher education for many years. She currently serves as Director of the Foreign Language Teacher Education Research Center and Deputy Director of the Chinese Rural Foreign Language Education Research Center at Central China Normal University. She also holds several concurrent positions, including Executive Council Member of the Professional Committee for Foreign Language Teacher Education and Development under the Chinese Association for Comparative Studies of English and Chinese, Editorial Board Member of the journal Basic Foreign Language Education, Member of the International Advisory Board for the UK journal Educational Action Research,and Committee Member of the “Jingchu Master Teachers” Expert Committee. Her long-term research focuses on English teaching methodology, foreign language teacher development, and foreign language education reform and assessment. She has led over 20 projects at various levels—including the National Social Science Fund of China—published 5 monographs and textbooks as author or editor-in-chief, and published over 60 academic papers in domestic and international journals, possessing extensive experience in project application and review.
At the beginning of the meeting, Vice Dean Ye Huiying, on behalf of the School, extended a warm welcome to Professor Yan and expressed heartfelt gratitude for her taking time out of her busy schedule to share her invaluable expertise. She briefly reviewed the School’s overall performance in applying for national-level projects in recent years, emphasizing that such projects are a crucial benchmark for measuring the School’s scientific research strength and disciplinary development level. She hoped that all attending teachers would cherish this learning opportunity, carefully absorb the expert’s guidance, and meticulously refine their application materials to lay a solid foundation and make full preparations for the 2026 national-level project applications.
Professor Yan’s guidance was structured around three core parts. Progressing logically and full of practical insights, the lecture combined theoretical depth with hands-on instructional value.
Part 1: How to Write a Competitive Project Application Proposal
Professor Yan opened the lecture with a core question – “What is the core significance of writing a project application?” – and provided a precise answer: the essence of an application is to convince readers of the research topic and implementation path, clearly present the research action plan, and explicitly clarify the theoretical positioning of the research and its academic connection with existing studies. These three points constitute the three core cornerstones of application writing, namely credibility, feasibility, and academic continuity. Her insightful remarks pointed out the fundamental direction for writing project applications.
On this basis, Professor Yan further refined the five key elements of a high-quality research application: the title should be conciseyet comprehensive; the theme statement should be straight to the point and hit the core; the research plan and methods should be rigorous, scientific, clear and concise; critical reflection on the strengths and limitations of the research is essential; and high-quality literature citations are an important embodiment of academic accomplishment. These five interlocking elements precisely addressed the key points and provided teachers with specific and feasible practical guidelines for writing applications.
Part 2: Open Q&A and Free Exchange Session
Participating teachers actively raised questions about the practical difficulties they encountered in national project applications, academic research, daily teaching practice and personal professional development. Professor Yan Chunmei answered each question patiently and provided detailed insights. She specifically urged young teachers to value the long-term accumulation of academic writing, emphasizing that academic research cannot be achieved overnight. It requires a persevering attitude, a focused mindset, physical and mental well-being, and a positive outlook to engage in academic life. Meanwhile, she encouraged all teachers to actively participate in various academic community activities, transforming the undertaking of research projects and continuous reading, writing, and thinking into a routine academic lifestyle. She also advised them to cherish every opportunity to write proposals. Furthermore, Professor Yan pointed out that the academic development of university teachers cannot be separated from strong institutional and school-level support. Safeguards such as the provision of research resources, opportunities for doctoral studies, academic exchange visits, peer and expert review guidance, and academic community discussions are all crucial pillars supporting teachers’ academic growth. Part 3: Thematic Guidance on the Development of English Major
Centering on core topics such as the construction of the teacher education system, the optimization of the training path for normal university students, the implementation of the tuition-free normal student policy and the high-quality development of normal majors, Professor Yan Chunmei engaged in in-depth discussions with the school's leaders, head of the English Department, program directorand all faculty members. Combining the development trend of the industry and her own research practice, she put forward a series of highly targeted and operable development suggestions. In response to the practical problems and challenges in professional development, Professor Yan shared her own professional experience and encouraged all teachers toremain committed to the original aspiration of fostering virtue and nurturing talent, face difficulties bravely, take the initiative to solve problems, and promote the high-quality development of the English normal major.
The lecture lasted for more than three hours, with substantial and exciting content. All participating teachers remained enthusiastic and felt that time flew by quickly. Professor Yan Chunmei's sharing featured both high-level guidance on education, teaching and research concepts and down-to-earth methods for project application and professional development. She elevated proposal writing from a mere “writing technique” to a systematic engineering project involving the shaping of academic identity, the construction of an academic lifestyle, and the cultivation of an academic ecology, bringing a brand-new academic perspective and innovative ideas to the faculty.
In her concluding remarks, Vice Dean Ye Huiying stated that the lecture offered both an in-depth analysisofthe logic behind national project evaluations and precise guidance on application practice and professional development. With rich and highly practical content, it benefited all participating teachers a great deal. She once again expressed sincere gratitude to Professor Yan Chunmei on behalf of the school, and encouraged all teachers to take this guidance as an opportunity to translate what they have learned into practical actions, refine their application materials, deepen their professional development, and strive forward with determination to fully prepare for the 2026 national project applications and continuously elevate the school's research and professional development to new heights.
