Published:2018-12-21  Author:Yang Dongdong

In this new era, governments, educators, technology entrepreneurs and linguists are facing new and urgent problems. How can we use big data, cloud computing, AI and other technologies to do a better job in language teaching and research? How can we cultivate first-class talents when building a world-class university? How can we deal with language science and technology transformation?
In line with these questions, the School of Foreign Languages is welcoming experts in politics, industry, education and researchers to a discussion forum on a variety of topics, including the reform of language education, talent cultivation in the AI era, innovative models for the cooperation between universities and enterprises, machine translation, language teaching, language intelligence and related laws and regulations.
This forum will be held on January 5th (afternoon) and on January 6th 2019, in School of Foreign Languages of Shanghai Jiao Tong University (Minhang campus) and will focus on two main concepts: reform and cooperation, aiming to create a platform for industry linked cooperation. 
Experts and entrepreneurs interested in language intelligence are all welcome to join this forum.
