By 2020, BFSU plans to teach 70 languages, with the ultimate goal of 90.

"As China opens more to the world, more young people in China can speak foreign languages, especially English. So, we have to seek new advantages," said Han, who took the position of president about a year ago.

"Therefore, we are aiming at bringing up students with multi-language skills and multiple-skills other than languages. Mastering a foreign language better is only a basic requirement for students right now. We require the students to learn at least three languages. We also have schools or departments of international politics, international law, economics, finance and media."

Han believes that the internationalization of the campus is another point for his university to be proud of.

"We are always making an effort to create an international atmosphere for the students on campus, since internationalization is the reason BFSU exists," Han said.

"We have more than 7,000 students here, some 1,000 are foreign. Of the more than 600 teachers, about 140 are foreigners. Students who major in those less-commonly used languages all have a chance to study in countries where the language is spoken, for up to a year."

Questions:

1. Who is finding jobs this year?

2. How many languages are taught at Beijing Foreign Studies University?

3. How many international students are at BFSU?
