Foreign language teaching and learning is a complicated process. This issue has different aspects which need to be dealt with. In order to promote foreign language teaching and learning it is worthy to study the practice of top universities in the world to know what they do to have a good language program. Studying top university experiences can be a quick way to check how well the theories of language learning and teaching have been put into action. To do so, a qualitative study is conducted. Four top universities based on QS ranking were chosen as the samples of the study. Each university website was studied fully to find out useful points about their language program. Since the Iranian context has a lot of problems in foreign language teaching and learning especially at university level, the results of this study could also be useful for that context.
