院成立於民國44年，歷經50餘年的銳意發展，目前設有國文、英文、歷史、地理、臺文等5個學系、翻譯和臺灣史2個獨立所，以及全球華人寫作中心和國際臺灣學研究中心。除臺史所僅設碩士班，其餘6個系所均設有碩、博士班；目前專兼任教師近250人，學生約2500餘人。

本院早期以培養優秀中學國文、英文、歷史和地理教師為鵠的，臺灣中學語文和史地教育的實踐與成功，本院提供不可磨滅的貢獻。近年來，本院隨師範體系轉型而調整發展方向，除維持中學師資培育的優勢外，也積極朝理論研究和實務操作等面向前進。目前，本院各系所師培生的教師檢定通過率平均在95%以上；非師培生在文化、傳播、文學、應用史學及環境災害、地理資訊系統等領域發展，也已卓然有成。

本院各系所教師的研究能量極為豐富，參與國內外學術活動相當活躍。根據論文數量、引用次數等指標所作的學術力評比，本院居人文領域全國第2名。各系所之間，無論是教師的教學與研究，或學生的生活與學習，都能相輔相成、榮辱與共，彼此渾然一體，足堪「為師、為範」而無愧。

    Mail-Order Brides and Methamphetamines: Sinophone Burmeseness in Midi Z’s Burma Trilogy
    (英語學系, 2017-09-??) Melissa Mei-Lin Chan
    Midi Z’s Burma Trilogy—the films Return to Burma (2011), Poor Folk (2012), and Ice Poison (2014)—was covertly shot in Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, when much of Myanmar’s cinema was still under state control. Considering the political climate and restrictions in cinematic production, I argue that Midi Z’s films highlight the inextricable connection between cultural and economic precarity of the subjects depicted. Rather than being simply documentary or fiction, Midi Z’s Burma Trilogy occupies an interstitial space that allows for the remaking of identity that considers economic stratification and cultural negotiation. From depicting the lives of a scooter taxi driver, human traffickers, and drug dealers among others, the films emphasize the ways in which marginalized communities can co-opt structures of power and develop their own means of power even under oppressive regimes. Precarity does not simply serve as a limitation and is, instead, a position that is at once marginal but capable of reconfiguring cultural hegemonies. Though their Sinophone Burmese representation, Midi Z’s films critique what it means to be Chinese. Thus, Chineseness is under constant negotiation in the Burma Trilogy through the characters’relationships with their own ethnic identities, overturning the understanding of Chineseness as a shared identity that flattens local inflections and differences and focuses on the confluences of subjective identities and economic exchange.
