Host: Dear netizens, hello everyone, welcome to the video interview on the Education Channel of People’s Daily Online. With the arrival of the employment season for graduates, students are paying more attention to what kind of jobs their majors can find and how practical they are in society. In response to this situation, this winter we launched a series of interviews on the development of w88 casino majors and student employment prospects. Today, the person invited to the studio is Wang Lifei, the dean of the w88 casino of English at the w88 casino. I would like to ask dean Wang to explain to us the employment situation of English majors. Hello, Dean Wang, welcome to People's Daily Online.

Wang Lifei: Hello, hello, netizen friends.

Host: The English major of the w88 casino should be one of the best in the country. Let us first introduce the current situation of w88 casino.

w88 casino of English, University of w88 and Economics: "60Over the years, we have trained a large number of professionals useful to the country and the economy and society”

Wang Lifei: w88 casino was established in1951, the beginning of the founding of New China. Our English major was also established at the beginning of the w88 casino’s establishment and has gone through a long time60Years of history. This60Over the years, it has grown and developed, and now it has become a well-known department and major in the country. For the English major, we have three majors, one is Business English, one is Translation, and one is Financial Journalism. The characteristic of training in these three majors is to focus on basic language skills, which is what we call English skills. Second, have professional knowledge and direction. In fact, it is an international and composite typeTalent trainingMode.

Moderator: Our English major now has60After many years of history, we can see that in our country, especially in terms of external relations, whether it is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the foreign affairs offices of some countries, or other external activities, the students who are on the front line are basically the English majors of w88 casino. How does w88 casino maintain such a good position?

Wang Lifei: The w88 casino actually has a good tradition. As a dean, I feel very proud in terms of the talents we train and the graduates we train. For example, former Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Yang Fuchang is our graduate, former Vice Minister of Commerce Tong Zhiguang, former Ambassador to the United States Zhou Wenzhong, General Zhan Maohai, Director of the Foreign Affairs Office of the Ministry of National Defense, Tang Weihua, the current simultaneous interpreter at the United Nations, and Lin Chaolun, the Queen's chief interpreter, are all graduates of our college's English major. Over the years, we actually feel that the talent training model and direction are correct, so60Over the years, it has trained a large number of professionals useful to the country and the economy and society.

w88 casino of English, University of International w88Features: Adhering to the international talent training model of applying what you have learned

Moderator: I feel that our country’s position in the world is growing day by day. Many of our communications in English are through English. It should be said that our college has made a great contribution to the progress of the country. What are the characteristics of w88 casino itself?

Wang Lifei: We adhere to the concept of applying what we have learned. The second is that the w88 casino places special emphasis on the mode of cultivating international talents. In accordance with the development strategy of our university, internationalization is the foundation of w88 casino, the way to strengthen the w88 casino, and the source of our characteristics. Therefore,60We have been emphasizing internationalization for many years, which is to cultivate students with an international perspective and a Chinese perspective. Furthermore, we emphasize the compound type. In addition to the professional skills of learning English, we require every student to have a professional direction. By studying economics, management, law, and finance, this combination of foreign language and professional training makes our talents not just a single talent.

Moderator: In the broad scope of English, there are many detailed majors.

Wang Lifei: Such a compound.60We have adhered to this training model for many years and achieved very good results. In fact, it also provides a very effective attempt and model for the next reform of the English major.

Created by four sub-teamsNational Business English Teaching Team

Moderator: When it comes to the strength of a w88 casino, the first thing to discuss is probably the teaching staff. Does w88 casino have any particularly strong advantages in terms of teachers?

Wang Lifei: The training of teachers has always been the top priority of our schools and colleges, because if a university does not have first-class teachers, the quality of the university will not be guaranteed, so,60Over the years, the construction of our teaching staff has always been very distinctive. Many important teachers and some well-known experts have worked in the w88 casino and are famous at home and abroad. For example, Professor Zhang Peiji, the expert who wrote China's first English-Chinese translation tutorial, is from our college. Over the years, we have focused on building teachers. The teachers are mainly through: First, building a national-level business English teaching team. This is what we are doing200818571_19056

The first and second classrooms are linked to cultivate students’ comprehensive abilities

Moderator: Very practical. The students trained under such a strong teaching team must be talents with comprehensive abilities. Now when it comes to comprehensive student abilities, more attention is paid to them. Especially in recent years, many students in our university have had some problems. For example, their professional performance is very good, their academic performance is very good, but there are many shortcomings in psychological construction or other abilities. How does w88 casino cultivate students in terms of comprehensive strength?

Wang Lifei: The w88 casino has always emphasized that as an international foreign economic and w88 talent or business English talent, you must have good psychological quality and relatively high emotional intelligence. In order to carry out work, you must have good communication, be good at communication, and be able to communicate. In fact, the w88 casino has done a lot in this regard. Inside and outside the classroom, we call the first classroom and the second classroom to be linked. In the classroom and in student management, we provide students with various opportunities. For example, classes are not just lectures by teachers. Our students have many, many opportunities to do projects and demonstrate, so that students continue to have the opportunity to exercise their speaking skills and demonstrate their hands-on skills in front of others. Therefore, their self-confidence continues to improve. I remember very clearly that some classmates were very shy when they came here, especially some girls, whose voices were very small and weak. They were good girls to their parents, but after several years of training, they became very bold and confident. Our teacher has a set of training methods, which are similar to the business communication methods used by companies to train corporate employees. My classmates jokingly call them University of Economics and BusinessCPU, why is it calledCPUWhat about? It is a university that is crazy about giving speeches. It constantly gives big speeches, small speeches, big lectures, small lectures, grade lectures, w88 casino lectures, and competitions. This is a good exercise for students. In addition, many activities are organized outside the classroom, such as foreign language cultural festivals, business English negotiation competitions, campus music English singer selection competitions, and various competitions to give students the opportunity to exercise. After these few years, I found that many students have very strong self-marketing abilities when they are employed.

Moderator: Very good at self-promotion. I can feel that the children studying foreign w88 and economics live a very happy, fulfilling and solid life.

Wang Lifei: More than a hundred clubs are active every day, so students are very busy.

Facing the general environment and actively reforming and developing, cultivating business English and transnational litigation professionals

Moderator: So my overall strength has indeed been greatly improved. We have just talked for a long time about the w88 casino's curriculum and teacher matching, including the performance of students' comprehensive abilities. Today we will focus on the confusion faced by students majoring in English in terms of employment. Is there a big demand for English majors in the country now?

Wang Lifei: The English major was established before the reform and opening up and has gone through decades of history. In the early days, employment was very good because no one knew English. Those who knew a little English were particularly in demand, so at that time, the employed emperor’s daughter did not have to worry about getting married, and reform and opening up30After 24397_24463| years, English has become a tool that everyone can use in daily life, so this advantage is being lost. The employment of students has been a big challenge. According to the Ministry of Education this year6Information released in March, English majors in the country30Provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions have26A major that has been regarded as difficult to find employment is actually on the blacklist. It is a red card major and serves as a warning.

The English major should actually have reached a critical period in urgent need of transformation, improvement, reform and development. If there is no reform and no new connotation construction, the English major may slowly become a major that is no longer needed in society and disappear. Faced with this, many students are actually very worried about their future employment when applying for English majors. This annual graduation season is here again, and students are even more worried about their employment prospects. w88 casino has taken some measures, first, in2006In 2014, we saw the crisis lurking in the English major, and we took the lead in making reforms.2006At the end of the year, the University of Foreign Economics and Business took the lead in applying to the Ministry of Education to be the first to open a business English major, and the English major was transformed into a composite major of English plus business, which was more detailed. Moreover, for the purpose of piloting by the Ministry of Education at that time, we were the first to open the business English major in the country. After six or seven years of development, more than 200 colleges and universities across the country now offer business English majors, and there are about a thousand English majors in total. Therefore, there are still many students graduating from English majors every year, and they all face employment pressure. From the perspective of employment for students majoring in Business English, our scope has become very broad, and the employment pressure is not too great, because we can engage in both English-related work and business-related work. In fact, employment for students broadens their employment scope and fields. The country is actually in great demand for English talents. The main reason is that everyone knows it. However, there are relatively few top-notch English talents among us, including those in key positions. According to the forecast of some graduates in Shanghai, including the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Commerce, the country is actually in short supply of several types of talents. One is high-quality simultaneous interpretation talents, which is in short supply. Now international events, international conferences, large-scale exhibitions, and business negotiations all require good simultaneous interpretation. However, the quality of simultaneous interpretation is guaranteed by the state except for a few key departments of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. However, a large number of enterprises and employers do not have access to first-class simultaneous interpretation talents, which is a gap.

Second, those who can pass the test in English, are proficient in English, have excellent English, and understand the law at the same time, we call such talents who can handle transnational litigation. There is also the issue of transnational operations and management, because Chinese companies are now going global. In fact, in addition to having professional background knowledge and the ability to communicate in foreign languages, if professionals are strong in this area, they are actually very competitive. There is also cross-border w88 and cross-border negotiations. Talents in this area are actually in short supply. Some central enterprises have suggested that we are willing to accept any number of such talents. But we often see that people who know English are not good at their majors, and people who know their majors have English that cannot reach our ideal state. Therefore, talent training actually shows a kind of disconnection, or a state of inability to be highly integrated. This may be the next step for us to focus on reform.

Moderator: I feel that this has raised high requirements for English majors. Usually, whether we are at the w88 casino or other universities that offer English majors, we usually learn a foreign language and treat it as a tool. Now just knowing English is not enough. We also need other more professional basic backgrounds, and they are still under the category of English. Will this cause a lot of pressure for our currently employed students, such as finance?

Wang Lifei: If you want to find a job this year, in fact, if some colleges and universities train talents according to the past talent training model of English majors, there may be a certain amount of pressure in finding a job. If the w88 casino transforms, upgrades, develops, reforms, and adopts the training of compound talents, it may face a new round of opportunities. Crisis and opportunity coexist. We should look at this issue this way. Therefore, I think our students should first have confidence that their talents will be useful. Secondly, we should also focus on improving our own abilities and qualities to see what our shortcomings are. For example, I am very strong in foreign languages. Can I catch up on my professional knowledge so that when I apply for a job, it will make people feel that I am a talented person with abilities in both aspects? You have learned a lot of professional knowledge. Can you strengthen and improve your foreign language so that you can adapt to the requirements of the job as soon as possible when you go to the workplace? This is my opinion.

International w88 casino brand: graduates everywhereNational ministries, state-owned enterprises, foreign enterprises

Host: Listening to your analysis, I feel that our English majors are not unable to find jobs now, but have added some thresholds when looking for jobs. If you have enough ability and pass this threshold, you can find a good job. However, this threshold has been stuck, and most of the students are outside. The graduation index of w88 casino over the years can reach98%, this is already quite high, has it remained till now? How did we do it?

Wang Lifei: It has remained so until now. First, the brand effect of the w88 casino plays a certain role. Over the years, because talent training has always been more suitable for social and economic development, many employers have recognized the knowledge, abilities and qualities of the w88 casino. Some large employers, such as China Construction Bank, have set a very high threshold and only admit employees from eight universities. We are one of the eight universities.

Host: Why do you think they have such changes in their selection of personnel?

Wang Lifei: After they recruited the students, they went through on-the-job training and after taking the job, they were satisfied with the overall quality and ability of these students based on the on-the-job inspection. So in this case, he set such a high threshold. Of course, this threshold is not necessarily completely correct. But, that's how it's set up. This gives our students a good priority for employment, which is also a good encouragement to the students.

The employment of our classmates, in fact, has been in a wide range of fields over the years. They are not what ordinary people or society think of as English majors. They may be employed in the field of English. In fact, our classmates are employed in a wide range of ministries, such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the International Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Ministry of Commerce, and some of them are in multinational companies. For multinational companies, English is actually a must for him. He has to carry out foreign-related work, and his professional knowledge is also used in many positions, so this is also an advantage.

In addition, state-owned enterprises did not recruit many compound talents with foreign languages and majors. However, a new trend has emerged in recent years. Because Chinese companies are now going global, many companies hope to recruit such extroverted talents. For example, last year, CNOOC admitted several of our classmates. Once they knew the news, they immediately sent their human resources director to the w88 casino and conducted a special recruitment. After the discussion, they made a decision on the spot and admitted five. This year, the CEO of human resources said that this year I will dedicate the entire recruitment to the English w88 casino. I especially hope that such students can join our overseas companies of CNOOC. He can pass the test in English and understands business, which is what we want. We will recruit a total of 100 students in one session160classmates, basically one point nationwide, one point at home and abroad, basically there is not much employment pressure. As a dean, I am quite pleased with this.

Moderator: In addition to the direction you just mentioned in some national units and ministries, as well as some foreign companies, state-owned enterprises and enterprises, are there any new employment directions in w88 casino?

Wang Lifei: Some students are e-commerce companies and want to start their own business. It is called cross-border w88 or cross-border e-commerce. In fact, when it comes to cross-border, it is a foreign language. After completing their studies, some students felt that they were young and energetic. They wanted to give it a try, struggle once in life, and try once to see how capable they were. Therefore, some students did not apply for jobs in state-owned enterprises and governments, become civil servants, or apply for exams. Instead, they started their own businesses. Therefore, I opened my own company to engage in cross-border e-commerce, and it got off to a pretty good start. Over the past few years, the accumulation of capital, as well as the development of some w88 and business, actually gave him a lot of confidence, and he went back to the college to recruit junior students to see if anyone was willing to join. I think this is also worthy of encouragement. When looking for a job, you don’t necessarily have to focus only on national ministries, civil servants, central enterprises, and state-owned enterprises. Starting your own business is also a good way. Think about Jack Ma. A few years ago, who would have known that he was an English major student and teacher? Who would have thought that he would become the richest man in the world today, surpassing Bill Gates, because he has an entrepreneurial heart. He said that he always strives with entrepreneurial blood and has made brilliant achievements. Therefore, there is more than one path to success in life.

Moderator: Especially in this era of such a good environment, in fact, for many students with ideas, having a professional background is helpful for them to go out and find their own way. After our students start working, how much room for improvement will they have? Do you usually stay in government agencies for the rest of your life?

Wang Lifei: According to our follow-up survey of employed students, there will generally be some changes in three to five years after employment. Especially for graduates in foreign-related and foreign w88, the changes are relatively large. Changing jobs, positions, companies, and even countries are relatively frequent. We can see this trend. When a person finds a job, the first job is not a permanent job. The first job is for you to start a business, and then find your suitable position and what suits you. In fact, when you get a job, you are still a bit blind. You follow everyone, the society, and some publicity, so you go there. It turned out that after going to that field, it was not suitable for me to make some achievements there. Maybe it would be better to change to another field. Therefore, some students have adjusted after three to five years. After adjustment, some have been very successful. Of course, there are also some who work in state agencies and ministries and are relatively stable, and have become department directors, mayors, etc., or even ministers.

Host: We are not talking about English majors alone. Most graduates will have a job adjustment three to five years after graduation.

Wang Lifei: English majors, like students from other majors, are also a normal norm.

Career Suggestions: Calm down+Enrich yourself

Host: As the current graduates are at the peak of their busy job search, as the dean, do you have any particularly good suggestions for our students in choosing a job?

Wang Lifei: First, calm down. The first job is actually the beginning of life and an attempt. Don’t think too seriously about it and think it is my lifelong future and happiness. If you think about it this way, you are going into battle carrying a baggage and will often fail. In fact, after calming down, such an open society in modern times provides talents with many opportunities. In the process, it may be more important to look for opportunities, discover one's own value, and achieve success. This is my first one. Second, you must enrich yourself. You cannot say that learning is over when you leave w88 casino. Learning is a person's lifelong pursuit, and it is important to continue learning even at work. What’s more, I often tell my classmates that there are three things that cannot be wasted. One is time, the other is opportunity, and the third is emotion. It cannot be wasted. You must cherish it and make good use of it, so that you can succeed in life. For students, the road to job hunting, graduation season, whether you love it or not, it is there. Whether you hate it or not, it's there. Therefore, you should face it bravely, work hard, and pursue it, and you may get unexpected gains.

New concept for the future development of the college: equipped with dual tutors+Increase the construction of professional connotation

Moderator: Today I talked so much with Dean Wang about the situation of English majors studying in w88 casino, their professional development, and their professional prospects and trends in employment. After we have analyzed it, we can also feel that this era, just like what you just said, is an era full of opportunities and challenges. If you seize this opportunity, you have to take many steps faster than other students. But it is also possible that in the face of this challenge, there is no way to enrich and improve one's abilities, or that the opportunity may be missed.

Finally, please have Dean Wang talk to us. Regarding what you just said, the current employment trend is changing, and the international environment is also changing, full of opportunities and challenges. Does our college have any new plans and ideas for future professional settings or future professional development?

Wang Lifei: We have also made some reforms, such as assigning double tutors to students. The w88 casino teachers are responsible for imparting knowledge systems and basic knowledge in the classroom. This is very important and must be solid. At the same time, we hired industry elites for him, including people from all walks of life, including government, financial institutions, and enterprises. These successful people serve as his practical mentors. First, they provide him with practical internship opportunities. Second, give him some life and career guidance at the appropriate time, because these people are very experienced and have had successful experiences and failed lessons themselves. Therefore, their words are very inspiring to the students. After our classmates implemented the dual tutor system, they generally felt that they gained a lot. In fact, many jobs were also successful through the recommendation of the dual tutors. I think this can be used as an experience for other colleges and universities to try when reforming the English teaching major. This is one.

Second, in terms of talent training, we must further increase the construction of professional connotations. In the future, I think the trend is to shift from learning general English, general English, to professional English, which is more targeted and targeted, targeting industries and occupations, and future development. Learning professional English will give him a good foundation and preparation in w88 casino. Once he takes up the job, he will shorten the distance from the job requirements. This is very important. If we learn general English and then go to work and fumble for a few years before we can master this professional English, the time in our institutions will be wasted. Now the opportunity cost is very important to a person.

Simultaneous Interpretation for China-Europe Senior Interpreter: Obtained Master's Degree and Simultaneous Interpretation Certificate

Project running12year, very high reputation

Moderator: Does w88 casino offer a major such as simultaneous interpretation?

Wang Lifei: We and the European Union Directorate-General for Interpretation have jointly organized a simultaneous interpretation project for senior translators from China and Europe. This project is already running12In 2008, we cultivated very good simultaneous interpretation talents. Now in society, the reputation is very high. For the simultaneous interpretation project, students who graduate from the center obtain a master's degree and have simultaneous interpretation certification issued by the European Union, so they can perform simultaneous interpretation in English and Chinese throughout the EU countries, so some students have also gone to work abroad. There are also some large enterprises and companies that have hired these students from us. Because we did a meeting and simultaneous interpretation for them, they were valued by the chairman. Bank of China, for example, values ​​our students. Now this classmate has been recruited to Bank of China. In the Secretary's Office, he specializes in serving the chairman and simultaneous interpretation. There are many international affairs and interactions that require professionals in this area. Therefore, I think qualified colleges and universities across the country should increase their efforts in cultivating simultaneous interpretation.

Moderator: Thank you, Dean Wang, for sharing so much valuable experience with us today. All our English major students will achieve very good results in this year’s employment season. Thank you, Dean Wang.

Wang Lifei: Thank you host.

Moderator: Thank you for watching this video interview. Please pay attention to our other interview programs.
