Department History and Faculty Members

Teaching Myanmar as a foreign language course was first offered in 1974 at Institute of Foreign Languages (IFL). Since the Department of Myanmar had not yet established then, the teachers from Yangon University came to teach Myanmar. Department of Myanmar was established at Institute of Foreign Languages in 1985. Only Myanmar proficiency classes were opened there till 1988- 1989 academic year. Undergraduate program was begun in 1997-1998 academic year and Diploma program from 1999-2000 academic years. There are altogether 1727 foreign students who were taught Myanmar language in YUFL from 1974 to 2016-2017 academic years. Most of the students who came to learn Myanmar Language are scholarship holders, army officers, diplomats, businessmen, those who want to learn Tharawada Buddhism and the university students who come by the partnership program so the students are from various countries who speak various languages with various ages.

Now, Centre of Excellence for teaching of Myanmar as a Foreign Language is founded and drawn future plans in order to support the department and the students studying Myanmar language, literature and culture.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
