Then he introduced the authentication criteria for the teacher education, expounding the concept of “product-oriented education”, analyzing the objective, basic principles and kernel connotation of the authentication, interpreting the secondary authentication indicators, comparing and contrasting the professional accreditation and the professional auditing, and finally pointing out the differences between the authentication criteria of Jiangsu province and those of the Ministry of Education and the differences between the 2018 version and the previous versions. To conclude his lecture, Dean Wang Jinquan shared Yangzhou University’s experience of the authentication with the audience, offering constructive suggestions to and nailing down the key orientations for the School of Foreign Languages, Jiangsu University.
