随着新学年的开始，外国语学院又迎来了11名新聘外籍教师。其中4名具有博士学位，6名具有硕士学位，并且其专业研究方向基本为文学、教育或语言学。在上一学年的基础上，我院目前外籍教师共有27名，分别来自美国、英国、日本、葡萄牙、爱尔兰、新西兰和澳大利亚7个国家。
11名新外教纷纷于9月10日及11日到达我校，这两日也正是我院新生报到之际。新外教们不仅领略了校园的美景，更感受到学生们的朝气蓬勃和无限生机。因此在学期尚未正式开始之前，他们便表达了自己对在我院工作的兴奋和期待。另外，这次的接待工作虽然任务繁重，时间紧迫，但在陶文好院长的指导下，由谢文婷副院长和学院外事秘书谭媛鑫老师带领几名大三大四的学生志愿者有条不紊地顺利完成。在接待的过程中，老师和志愿者们的热情让新外教们感到十分温暖。9月12日上午学院安排的校园游也使他们很快便熟悉了整个校园。当天中午，陶院长及其他院领导一同邀请新外教们在国际交流中心中餐厅进行午餐，欢迎他们的到来。
新外教的加入无疑是对我院师资力量及教学水平的又一提高。截至2012-2013学年上学期，我院共有外籍教师27名，约占全院师资力量的50%。
