Can teaching keep up with the development of society? Regarding these issues, the Education Channel of People's Daily Online specially launched a series of interviews on w88 casino professional development trends and students' employment prospects. Today I am honored to invite Xu Yongbin, Executive Dean of the w88 casino of Foreign Languages ​​at the w88 casino. Hello, Dean Xu.

Xu Yongbin: Hello host, hello all netizens.

Host: Dean Xu’s visit to People’s Daily Online today is mainly to explain the relevant situation of foreign language majors. Please tell us about the development history of the college and one of its advantages. How to give full play to the advantages of the college?

The w88 casino of Foreign Languages is of the same age as the w88 casino, and its subject ranking ranks among the top ten of the top 100 universities

Xu Yongbin: The w88 casino is a university that features economics, management, liberal arts, and law. The history of the w88 casino of Foreign Languages at the w88 casino is the same age as the history of the w88 casino. We are all1951Founded in year, passed60After years of development, we now have11Majors in languages, this11languages covering the world100With multiple countries, we are known as the Little United Nations.201312187_1223692Ranked among the top ten universities. We are very proud to be able to keep pace with Peking University, Beijing Foreign Studies University, Shanghai International Studies University and other schools with dozens of language majors. As a philosopher said, learning a language is to get the key to a city. Master a language, and the residents there will open their hearts to you.

“Insisting on small class teaching, the cohesion and centripetal force of teachers and students are particularly strong”

In w88 casino of Foreign Languages, we pay special attention to correcting students' academic thoughts and guiding students to pay attention to the politics, economy, history, and culture of the language target country. We carry out a series of activities to mobilize students' enthusiasm for learning. For example, making full use of the geographical advantage of w88 casino being located in Beijing, we carry out a series of history lectures and alumni lectures, as well as language corners, and some such activities as film screenings to mobilize students' interests. The college is established through the China Scholarship Council, inter-w88 casino exchanges, embassy projects, etc. There are approximately 10 students in each session50%13439_1350820People, this facilitates the interaction between teachers and students and the relationship between teachers and students. Therefore, the relationship between teachers and students is very harmonious. We start with2006Starting from 2016, the college has implemented a class teacher system. This class teacher is not only responsible for tutoring coursework, but also responsible for the construction of class style and study style, and will organize some very rich and diverse activities. In this way, compared with other colleges, our college's cohesion and centripetal force are very strong.

Here is a little story,12In August, a student from the w88 casino of Foreign Languages suddenly foamed at the mouth during class and fainted in the classroom. We immediately sent the student to the China-Japan Friendship Hospital, where he was diagnosed with massive cerebral hemorrhage. This student is a boy from Shandong. His family is very poor.13When his father died when he was 14224_14279|his mother took care of this child. In the case of a large-scale cerebral hemorrhage, the hospital decided to perform a craniotomy on him. The craniotomy would cost at least $30More than ten thousand yuan. Under such circumstances, the Youth League Committee and the Student Union of the w88 casino of Foreign Languages organized a fundraising event. This fundraising event was very successful and received unexpected results. From current w88 casino leaders to previous w88 casino leaders, we all participated in the fund-raising activities. Our alumni who have graduated for decades and freshmen students all participated in the charity activities. after48After hours of fundraising, we raised it48Ten thousand yuan in medical funds. After ten days, we have raised more than one million yuan in donations. There are many touching things among them. We have an alumnus who graduated more than ten years ago. This alumnus suddenly donated 100,000 yuan to support his classmates. We have an alumnus who graduated20A graduate for many years, now serving as a bureau-level cadre in the Ministry of Commerce. He sent someone to make a special trip to the University of Economics and Business to donate love. When we handed over the first donation to the student's mother, our student's mother said that she would never forget this life-saving grace in her life. Maybe our love was passed on to the student invisibly. The student's condition has improved now. We communicated with the doctor, and the attending doctor said that he might be transferred to a general ward for treatment this weekend. The students of our college actively participated in this matter, which led to the participation of teachers and students of the whole w88 casino. The enthusiastic participation of teachers and students of the whole w88 casino also led to the active participation of all alumni and the entire society. This matter fully reflects the strong cohesion and centripetal force of our small class teaching.

Opened11foreign languages2015Planned to offer Greek language

Three key words for training goals: international, compound and applied talents

Moderator: I also hope this student can recover soon. Dean Xu also mentioned just now that the w88 casino is also international and has certain cooperation with some well-known universities, including academic cooperation with students. Dean Xu, how is the w88 casino's teachers allocated? What advantages does it have?

Xu Yongbin: Currently open in our college11Foreign languages, from the perspective of Western languages, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Italian and Portuguese, from the Eastern languages we offer Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Arabic and Persian, in total11languages, we plan201517379_1741621Century society needs comprehensive and applied talents with solid basic skills in foreign languages, innovative ability, cross-cultural communication ability and international competitiveness, and international characteristics. The key words in our training goals are three words: international, compound and applied talents. The w88 casino of Foreign Languages ​​of the University of Economics and Business started early in cultivating compound and applied talents. We have accumulated some experience and achieved some relatively good results.

The five major advantages of the college:

High-level teachers, curriculum system, national characteristic projects, brother college resources, teaching resource library construction

The advantages of our college can be said from several aspects. First, the teaching team just mentioned, we have a high-level teaching team. The w88 casino of Foreign Languages, w88 casino currently has nearly 100 teachers on the job100People, including domestic teachers78person,78Among the people42People have a doctorate degree, and the master's degree rate has reached54%90%The above teachers have experience studying abroad or working abroad. In this case, the international vision will be broader, and there will be year-round employment20Many foreign teachers.

The second aspect of the advantages of the w88 casino of Foreign Languages is that we have established a relatively complete curriculum system. The construction of our curriculum system is a core content of undergraduate teaching. Our curriculum system includes four aspects, the first is professional foreign language courses, the second is economic and w88 courses, the third is general courses, and the fourth is public foreign language courses. After our students enter the w88 casino, the first two cohesive forces cultivate students' language skills, that is, their abilities in listening, speaking, reading, writing, and translation. We cultivate students' language abilities throughout the four years of foreign language teaching. After entering the senior year, our professional foreign language is divided into two parts, one is language and literature content, and the other is economic and w88 foreign language courses. For economic and w88 foreign language courses, we lead three sections, the first is economic and w88 practical articles, the second is economic and w88 negotiations, and the third is economic and w88 article selections.

The third advantage of the w88 casino of Foreign Languages is the driving role of national-level characteristics. We start with200720281_2032122one, us11Among languages8This language has become a national-level characteristic major construction site. Through the construction of these projects, we have introduced a group of high-quality teachers, and then published foreign language teaching materials with the characteristics of the Foreign Language w88 casino that are especially suitable for young people to learn. We have improved our office environment and strengthened academic exchanges at home and abroad. In fact, through the construction of our characteristic points and undergraduate projects, we have greatly improved the quality of our undergraduate teaching, and the internationalization of the college has also reached a new level.

The fourth advantage is relying on the resources of brother colleges. Everyone knows that the Economics and Management Grammar of the University of Economics and Business has outstanding advantages in economic management. In addition, we work with sister colleges to allow our students to pursue minors and second degrees. We are nearly80%There are about 21047_21088| students in the w88 casino of Foreign Languages who major in accounting, international w88, and international finance as a minor or as a second degree50%21115_21140

The fifth advantage is the construction of teaching resource library. We start with2009Starting from 21559_21582|with the strong support of w88 casino professors1121608_21766

With foreign countries40Many institutions carry out student exchanges and academic cooperation

Let me talk about some of the international features of our college. w88 casino has inter-w88 casino cooperative relationships with more than 100 foreign colleges and universities, and our college also has partnerships with foreign universities40Many institutions have student exchange and academic cooperation relationships. Here I would like to introduce several international cooperation projects with the characteristics of the w88 casino of Foreign Languages.

First of all, I would like to introduce the Sino-German joint training of enterprise management4+2Bachelor-Master degree program, this program is a special program of our college and also our brand program. This project is a cooperation project between the w88 casino of Foreign Languages ​​of w88 casino and the University of Nuremberg, University of Potsdam and University of Kisssen in Germany. It is a joint undergraduate and master's program. After students enter the University of Economics and Business, they first study four years of language and literature courses, then obtain a bachelor's degree in language and literature, and then continue their studies at a German university with a master's degree in management. us200123359_233702005The first batch of students will be sent out at the end of the year. So far, there are a total of German majors115students went to Germany to study, and more than 100 of them have completed their studies. Among the more than 100 students who graduated, one-third did not return to their country and were employed locally in Germany. The companies where they worked in Germany were companies such as Siemens, BMW, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Huawei Germany, etc. Nearly two-thirds of the students returned to their country to find employment. The level of employment back home is also very high, such as Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, State Development and Investment Corporation, and Sinopec. There is such a project in German.

Japanese also has such a project, it is Japanese2+2and4+2Project, this project is a cooperation project between w88 casino of Foreign Languages and Ritsumeikan University, Japan.2+2The project is that after students enter the w88 casino, they will study the language for two years and then continue their studies at Ritsumeikan University in Japan. When they graduate from the university in four years, they can get a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Economics and Business and a Bachelor of Management from Ritsumeikan University.4+2The project is to study for a master's degree in management in Japan after entering the University of Economics and Business and graduating with a four-year undergraduate degree. Except Japanese4+2and2+2In addition to the project, we also have a project with a relatively long name, called the Sino-British-Russian Economic University Alliance Economic and Management Talent Training Project Experimental Class. We call it the Russian Trilingual Experimental Class. Entrusted by the Ministry of Education, w88 casino serves as the leading unit of Chinese universities in the China-Russia Economic Universities Alliance. This is a very good platform. Against this background, the w88 casino of Foreign Languages has launched a Russian trilingual experimental class. The concept of the Russian Trilingual Experimental Class is such a concept. Comprehensive high-end talents who are proficient in professional foreign languages, proficient in professional knowledge, and proficient in Chinese, English and Russian. The Russian Trilingual Experimental Class is at the University of Economics and Business. During the freshman year, all students in the w88 casino except Russian majors can participate, and we select from them30Individual participation in this project. This item is rated2014Annual Ministry of Education Undergraduate Engineering Construction Project.

Another good project is the trilingual economic and w88 experimental class project. The trilingual economic and w88 experimental class has this concept. Our economic and w88 college takes the lead and we cooperate with them.200925092_2514011languages, currently Spanish, French, and Japanese. This is a typical compound talent training model. This project also won the2012First prize for the annual Beijing Outstanding Teaching Achievement Award.

“Improving students’ international quality, not only focusing on going abroad, but also strengthening local internationalization”

In addition, in order to emphasize improving students' international quality and cultivating students' cross-cultural communication skills, we have always emphasized the international education characteristics of our college. When emphasizing the characteristics of international w88 casino running, we focus on two points. The first is going out, which means allowing students to go abroad and go to the language target country to have close contact with the charm of foreign cultures. We have adopted many forms, including the inter-w88 casino exchanges we just mentioned and some projects of the China Scholarship Council. In addition to these, we also have exchange visit projects such as the Youth Summer Camp Project of the China-Russia University Alliance and the China-Korea Youth Friendship Envoy Delegation.

The second aspect is that we must not only focus on going global, but we must also strengthen local internationalization. What is local internationalization? We hire all year round20A number of foreign teachers allow them to teach our students in their native languages and teach them about their country’s national conditions and culture. The International College of the University of Economics and Business is very well run. We currently have students from all over the world in w88 casino130Multiple countries2300Many international students, we11Students of various languages can definitely find international students from their language target countries on campus. We have established language companion activities to fully achieve internationalization on campus. It can be said that this is an advantage of our foreign language college.

The curriculum system includes four categories: professional foreign language and economics and w88, general education, and public foreign language

Moderator: Our college mainly provides comprehensive talents specialized in foreign languages and economic and w88 cooperation. As a student, the college wants to become international, and its own requirements are also quite high. I would like to ask Dean Xu, what aspects should our college use to cultivate abilities other than language learning?

Xu Yongbin: Our curriculum system includes four major parts: professional foreign language, economics and w88, general education, and public foreign language. Our professional foreign language courses include basic foreign language courses, such as basic French, French audio and video, French painting, French reading, French grammar, etc., which are basic foreign language courses. There are also professional foreign language courses, including the language and literature courses just mentioned, as well as economic and w88 foreign language courses, and some domestic research courses. Classical courses are mainly taught in Chinese, with the purpose of cultivating more systematic economic theories and mastering practical knowledge of foreign economics and w88. We offer courses such as macroeconomics, microeconomics, international w88 practice, international finance, international business law, etc. General courses include political economics, international politics, international relations, advanced mathematics, modern Chinese, ancient Chinese, Chinese philosophy, foreign philosophy, as well as courses in literature and art, computers and applied writing. Public foreign language courses are mainly English courses. For our minority language students, English is a compulsory course. At the same time, some students with better academic performance can also study French, German, Spanish, Japanese and Korean as a second foreign language.

us07The curriculum system of the foreign language major has a characteristic. It takes professional foreign language as the core, economic and w88 knowledge as the fulcrum, general knowledge as the basis, and English ability as the supplement, forming a complete and organic knowledge system to ensure the cultivation of students' comprehensive talents. Judging from the foreign language skills of our students,0729750_2983890%, completely changed the previous phenomenon of students from minority languages not being very good at English.

Students have diversified their graduate destinations and achieved high-quality employment

Host: Judging from the situation of our college, the employment situation of students should be quite good. If we focus on the quality of student employment, I would like to ask Dean Xu, what is the employment situation of undergraduate students and graduate students?

Xu Yongbin: The graduation status of our students is very good, but now it shows some new characteristics. What are the main ones? The proportion of undergraduate graduates from the w88 casino of Foreign Languages ​​choosing domestic and foreign academic qualifications is increasing year by year.2014Year, last year as an example, the proportion of graduate students was approximately45%, among which30%’s students are going abroad to improve their academic qualifications,15%'s students go to China to study. When they study in China, they mainly choose our own w88 casino. Some choose Peking University, Tsinghua University, Beiwai and other famous domestic universities. The main purpose of studying abroad is to study in the country of your own language. In recent years, the proportion of students studying in the United Kingdom and the United States has also increased year by year. The destination of students' graduation is becoming more and more diversified. Students working in civil servants or public institutions account for about 1% of the total number of graduates.10%left and right,30%About 100 students have entered central enterprises or the financial system, or worked in foreign financial companies. Number of graduates from the w88 casino of Foreign Languages each year85%The above can achieve high-quality employment. The high-quality employment we are talking about is for students who have improved their academic qualifications at home and abroad, the State Council, public institutions and central enterprises and financial institutions, as well as well-known foreign companies. We can say that it is a high-quality employment. The situation of our graduate students is similar. Our graduate students basically have no worries about employment. They basically have three or four jobs on their handsoffer

8Recruiting master’s degree students in various languages,3Recruiting doctoral students in various languages

Host: Graduate students will continue to take exams in March and April this year. What kind of exams should be taken for graduate students and doctoral students?

Xu Yongbin: The situation in our Foreign Languages w88 casino is like this,1986Started as a graduate student in design in 2003, now at the w88 casino of Foreign Languages11Among the languages that can recruit master's degree students8Languages, academic master's degree can be recruited. Two majors, Korean and Japanese, can be recruitedMPI, master's degree in translation, and then doctoral students in Arabic, German, and Japanese can be recruited. The employment rate of these doctoral students is mainly to work in some national research institutions, or to teach in universities, or to engage in scientific research.

Suggestion: Combining personal career planning with national strategies, learning professional foreign languages well, and minoring in other majors

Host: Dean Xu, as the dean of the w88 casino of Foreign Languages, do you have any suggestions for students regarding their future development and career planning?

Xu Yongbin: In fact, language is a tool for communication. It can serve as a medium and bridge for communication between China and foreign countries. If I put forward my suggestions to the students, I would like to suggest two things. First, personal career planning and national strategies should be combined. If each of our personal micro-career plans can be consistent with the macro-national strategy, I think its development prospects will be broader. Second, foreign language is still a tool. I hope that our students will not only learn professional foreign languages well when they are in w88 casino, but I also hope that our students will use their four years of college to minor in majors such as international finance, accounting, and international w88. In this way, they can enhance their employment competitiveness and achieve greater development in their personal futures.

Host: Dean Xu, as a leader in the subject, you often go to some international schools for exchanges and cooperation. Can you express your personal opinions and share your views on the future development of the w88 casino of Foreign Languages?

Xu Yongbin: I very much agree with the development positioning of w88 casino. I think the future development of w88 casino of Foreign Languages should be based on these two aspects. First, from the perspective that we currently regard internationalization as a disciplinary feature, we must also strengthen our internationalization. This is the first. Second, our compounding must move from shallow compounding to deep compounding. Only in this way can the w88 casino of Foreign Languages ​​remain invincible in the future just as it has achieved brilliance in the past.

You can apply for the w88 casino of Foreign Languages, w88 casino in various ways

Host: Dean Xu, it’s the college entrance examination period soon, and many students have to fill in their applications. Can you give parents some advice on how to apply for your college?

Xu Yongbin: Learning a language can give you the key to enter a city. I hope that the majority of candidates can pay attention to the w88 casino of Foreign Languages of the University of Economics and Business. Our enrollment adopts a variety of methods. One is to recommend students, and some outstanding students from each w88 casino can be recommended. There is also an independent enrollment method. For some small languages, we adopt an independent enrollment method. Another option is to take the national unified examination, and you can apply for our foreign language college.

Moderator: Thank you, Dean Xu, for being a guest at People's Daily Online today. Netizens are welcome to continue to pay attention to the video interview on People's Daily Online.
