The programme for French language learning of Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) is based on SPEIT language curriculum. SPEIT meets the demand of the society for non-English foreign language specialists by implementing the educational philosophy of value promotion, knowledge exploration, capacity building and character development. With SPEIT’s French instruction as a result of its Chinese-French joint educational endeavors, students can choose one from three engineering programmes (information engineering, mechanical engineering, and energy and power engineering) as an academic secondary programme while studying the French language as well as cultural and social sciences courses. Hence, while meeting the goal of nurturing conventional language specialists, this would help develop interdisciplinary French language specialists who have not only strong linguistic and literary skills but the expertise in engineering, management and international communication, giving SPEIT the unique edge of developing French language specialists in science and technology application.
