A. degree. The first dean of the College was Prof. Dr. Baqir Abdul-Ghani Al-Baldawi; the first departments were the Department of English , the Department of Spanish, the Department of French, and the\u00a0 Department of German. The first students to graduate in the new College (Who were originally enlisted as students at the Higher Institute for Languages) gained their B.

The history of teaching foreign languages \u200b\u200bin Iraq goes back to the \u0661\u0667th century when Iraq witnessed the emergence of modern schools that used Turkish as their official language. Schools of Religious Minorities in Iraq adopted other foreign languages \u200b\u200bin education in addition to the official Turkish language. English entered the educational curricula during the era of the British occupation, and then it enjoyed\u00a0 an important position later on during the monarchy and the republic eras. It keeps its prestige up to the present day, due to the importance of this language and its wide use in the world, in addition to being the language of modern technology. College of Languages \u200b\u200bis concerned with teaching the mentioned languages, graduating academic competencies in the fields of simultaneous and written translation and teaching foreign languages. College of Languages is not only interested in the undergraduate studies, but it has opened the door for post- graduate studies in the nineties of the last century. The College, today, enjoys self-sufficiency of senior professors who have provided Iraqi and foreign universities with academic competencies. College of Languages \u200b\u200bhas a well-referred academic journal \u201cThe Journal of the College of Languages\u201d that publishes academic specialized researches on foreign languages and their teaching. This academic approach has emerged clearly during the last two years by holding academic symposium, academic conferences and cultural days for its departments. It seeks to deepen these academic activities and raise the College to the best levels.<\/p>\n
