We would like to ask you to introduce to us the specific situation of w88 casino of English at the w88 casino, so that we can learn more about the w88 casino of English at the w88 casino. First of all, I would like to ask you to give us a brief introduction to the w88 casinoOverall overview of the English w88 casino。

Xiang Mingyou:Hello host, hello candidates and parents of candidates across the country. I am very happy to introduce the basic situation of the English College of w88 casino to candidates and parents across the country.The College of English at the w88 casino is one of the colleges with the oldest history and the strongest faculty at the University of Economics and Business. This college has a national-level teaching team for business English, an outstanding teaching team in Beijing, and a group of well-known academic leaders at home and abroad.

The College of English was established in 1951 and has a 70-year history of undergraduate enrollment. After the reform and opening up in 1978, the w88 casino of English was the first batch to recruit master's degree students nationwide. Now it has a master's degree in the first-level discipline of foreign languages ​​and literature, a doctoral degree authorization point and a postdoctoral mobile station. There is also a master's degree authorization point in translation. It has basically formed a talent training system integrating undergraduate, master's, doctoral and postdoctoral. Foreign Languages and Literature can recruit undergraduate students in three English majors: Business English, English Language and Literature, and Translation, among which our Business English major has been selectedNational Double Thousand Construction Major。

Among the 211 colleges and universities in the countryNon-foreign language universities have English schools, w88 casino is the only one in the country.

Professional settings

Moderator:Dean Xiang gave us a very detailed introduction just now, so I would also like to ask dean Xiang to introduce us again to w88 casino of English at the w88 casinoProfessional settingsWhat is it like?

Xiang Mingyou:w88 casino of English, w88 casino in the National English ClassThree majors recruiting undergraduate students, these three majors areBusiness English Major, Translation Major and English Language and Literature Major. The five majors of these three majors recruit undergraduate students: the business English major of the business English major; the translation major of the translation major; the English language and literature major is further divided into three majors: the first is the English literature major, the second is the English linguistics major, and the third is the international communication major。Generally speaking we areCultivate undergraduate students in five directions：Business English, translation, linguistics, literature and international communication.Such talent training specifications should be unique in the country. We have trained talents trained by foreign language colleges across the country, and at the same time, we have also trained talents that other colleges and universities have not trained.

We adhere to this concept in talent training: running a university depends on the w88 casino, running majors depends on the college,The college’s talent training philosophy and professional settings directly affect the quality of talent training. The w88 casino of English at the w88 casino benefits from its long history, comprehensive disciplines, and the advantages of being located in the capital Beijing. We have a strong faculty and a unique talent training concept in the country. Our talent training philosophy can be summarized as follows: First,“Three Talents and Five Languages”;Second,Trinity;Third,Five modules and twenty-one words of maxims.

Three talents refer to talents. Our country’s education has always advocated teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. University of Economics and Business as a universityleading university(Advanced University), we have the responsibility and obligation to lead, so we advocate students to be calledThree kinds of talents：One isExpert;One isGeneralist;One isPractical talents, these are three talents. Five languages ​​means that we advocate that students at the University of Economics and Business must master the most basicFive languages：That isChinese, English, Mathematics, Computer and Music, this is five languages. Then we have the trinity, i.e.The trinity of knowledge, literacy and ability. Our five modules refer toForeign language, professional foreign language, multilingual, general knowledge, professional and practical operation. Our twenty-one-character talent training policy isProficient in English, understanding of business, liberal arts, accommodating, broad vision, good at thinking, and able to innovate.

Based on the above three talents, five languages, trinity, five modules and twenty-one words policy, we have establishedBusiness English Major, Translation Major, English Literature Major, English Linguistics Major and International Communication Major. What is the relationship between these five professional directions and the concepts discussed above? For example, as a double-first-class construction university, the University of Economics and Business assumes the responsibility of cultivating talents for the country. The country needs talents of different specifications for talent training. We need high-level generalists who can integrate into international organizations, participate in global governance, and participate in the great rejuvenation of our Chinese nation. We are an English college, and the English language and literature major also needs to cultivate professional foreign language talents, called specialists, for future educational development. At the same time, we are a research-oriented university that focuses on applications. Our various industries, including business, economics, w88, politics, diplomacy, and even industry, all require us to cultivate and deliver talents, so we also cultivate such practical talents.

In order to achieve this goal, we require students to master five languages: the first is Chinese. We emphasize the importance of Chinese. First of all, Chinese is our mother tongue. As a child born and raised in China by Chinese-speaking parents, our thinking is shaped by the Chinese language. Secondly, the Chinese language is the carrier of five thousand years of Chinese civilization, and there are huge treasures here that need to be carried in Chinese. Therefore, mastering Chinese is the most basic guarantee for our personality ability and personality quality. The second is English. It is originally a universal language and it is our major, so we must learn English well. The third is mathematics. Mathematics is the language of science. It is the most basic intersection point to realize our new liberal arts concepts of talent crossover, generalist training and talent training to specialists. The fourth is computer, which is the language of engineering technology and one of the basic elements for cultivating our generalists, specialists, and even practical talents.After students have mastered Chinese, English, mathematics and computer knowledge, they have basically laid the foundation for them to become outstanding talents.We also discovered in time the importance of music.Music is the language that makes smart people healthy.English is a rhythmic language, we call itEnglish is a rhythmic language(English is a rhythmic language). Music is rhythmic,Connecting the rhythm of music with the essence of the English language is a part of our talent training system.For example, our students in the five majors must learn the course of Western culture and songs in the lower grades, and they must learn to sing at least 50 songs. In this way, students can learn about Western culture while practicing English pronunciation, and cultivate their basic knowledge of music, making them physically and mentally healthy. These are the five languages ​​we speak.

Next is the Trinity. We believe that there are three major requirements for a child’s growth:Knowledge, literacy, based on knowledge and literacyAbility. What is knowledge? Knowledge is not about a hammer on the east and a hammer on the west, or opening the phone every timeAPPEvery piece of information above is knowledge, which is fragmented. We emphasize that knowledge is a system of concepts, so this in turn points to expertise. I emphasize the words system and system very much. Knowledge is a system of concepts, and countless concept groups constitute the corresponding knowledge system. Literacy includes two aspects, one is humanistic literacy and the other is scientific literacy. Humanistic literacy includes our understanding of people's emotions and emotions, and our understanding of people. Scientific literacy has at least three basic elements: systematic, objective and exhaustive. The basic spirit of science is formed on the basis of systematicity, scientificity, objectivity and exhaustivity. Once you have knowledge and literacy, the next step is ability. Ability includes two types, one is the ability to seek knowledge, and the other is critical thinking. Pursuing knowledge means that we must make continuous progress and we must learn. Second, learn knowledge and enhance literacy. But our studywe have so much to learn, this is a question(We have a lot to learn, that's a problem). We have a lot of knowledge to learn, and here comes the issue of w88-offs. w88-offs are critical thinking: what do I want and what don’t I want; what do I want to learn and what don’t I learn? This is critical thinking. With knowledge and critical thinking, you will have independent abilities and the ability to make independent judgments. This is the importance of the Trinity I want to talk about.

The next are five knowledge modules,The first is five languages. Five languages ​​are the basic foundation for our talent training. At the w88 casino of English at the w88 casino, each of our five majors has to learn five languages ​​and has the opportunity to learn five languages.The second is multilingual, University of Economics and Business has an English w88 casino and a Foreign Language w88 casino. Our Foreign Language w88 casino has 11 languages. The foreign languages ​​include almost the five major languages ​​of the United Nations and the important languages ​​along the Belt and Road. Therefore, in addition to learning English, our students also learn other languages. This is called "one proficiency, multiple skills" and uniqueness.The third is humanities. Humanities include major humanities and minor humanities. For example, we offer Chinese classical literature, modern Chinese literature, and modern Chinese studies in Chinese. We offer courses in art, history, ideological and political science, mathematics, computer science, statistics, economics, management, international finance and w88, etc. This is a large humanities based on the characteristics of the University of Economics and Business. We also have small humanities. For example, our English w88 casino of University of Economics and Business has set up several modules, such as the basics of language and basic skills modules. We also have business English modules, business activities modules, language modules, literature and culture modules, as well as international politics and business communication modules. Therefore, we provide students with general and basic courses that are sufficient for their choice in these areas. We also haveProfessional, the major we are referring to does not mean that if you learn it you will engage in it after graduation, but it emphasizes the systematic nature of knowledge. The humanities, science and technology, social sciences, and general knowledge mentioned just now are broad and comprehensive, and they are systems with a large scope and angle. We also have a small-scale system that enables students to have rigorous logical thinking through systematic knowledge cultivation, and have the tools to objectively analyze and solve problems. For example, the business English major is a comprehensive major. We have business, economics, language, and law. Our English literature major requires at least 18 credits in addition to humanities and foreign languages ​​and social sciences. Students must study Western characters such as Shakespeare, novels, short stories, poetry, and prose.Through this training, students can enrich their humanistic heritage and improve their abilities in literature and linguistics. In addition to learning the background, characteristics, and humanities of language, you also need to take 18 credits, including phonetics, phonetics, syntax, linguistic theory, linguistics, etc. Through this training, you will have a clear grasp of the ins and outs of the language. People cannot learn all the knowledge. The wonderful thing about people is that they can draw inferences from one example. When we understand one thing, we can understand everything and know everything. When we study translation, we need to learn the theory of translation, the practice of translation, language comparison, written translation, and oral interpretation. Interpretation includes a series of trainings such as simultaneous interpretation and consecutive interpretation. Our international communication aims to cultivate international generalists. We need to learn communication knowledge, linguistics knowledge, business knowledge, international political knowledge, and legal knowledge, so as to cooperate with our international generalists and language specialists, as well as our talents who are practical in society and meet social needs.

Our Business English major has these five majors of Business English. There is only one difference, that isProfessional direction, including18credits,9One course is different, the others are similar170We have the same credits. The advantage of this is that students have enough freedom to choose. The education we receive after entering the English College is different, and the training directions have different specifications. We are divided into three grades and three types of talents, which are chosen by the students themselves. You can choose the learning application type, you can choose the international generalist module, you can choose the English language and literature major, we become linguists, litterateurs, diplomats, international negotiators, etc. This is the basic concept and basic concept of talent cultivation in the three majors and five directions of the w88 casino. If parents want to know more, we have a detailed training plan.

Teaching Resources

Moderator:Okay, thank you very much for the detailed introduction to the dean, which gave us a deeper understanding of the majors and subject settings of the w88 casino of English at the w88 casino. Through the introduction to the dean just now, we also found that the w88 casino of English attaches great importance to the development direction of our students' comprehensive, international and innovative talent training model on the basis of general education. I also know that w88 casino of English at the w88 casino also has a very goodHigh-quality teaching resources, I would also like to ask the dean to introduce this situation in detail to our candidates and parents.

Xiang Mingyou:Okay, I am very happy to introduce the teaching staff of the English w88 casino of our University of Economics and Business. I just mentioned that the talent concept and curriculum are almost irreproducible and almost unique. The reason is that the w88 casino of English of University of Economics and Business has a teamExcellent teacher team with strong strength, diverse students and different professional directions. we have102teachers, including11There are doctoral supervisors and more than 90 master’s supervisors. Second, we have veryA long heritage. For example, one of the living professors and masters of translation studies is Professor Xu Yuanchong of Peking University, and the other is oursProfessor Zhang Peiji. Mr. Zhang’s teaching materials have cultivated students for several generations, and his teaching materials have trained students to become everyone. As a nearly 100-year-old man, he is still in our English College, still editing books for us, and still having discussions with teachers. We have a batchComprehensiveTeaching team, our 102 teachers are not only teachers in language and literature, but some of their majors are communication, economics, finance, international politics and law. These teachers can all speak English, teach in English, and have professional knowledge. Third, almost all our teachers are in the countryGraduated from top universities, some are from English-speaking countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, and some are from Hong Kong, Singapore, etc., so our student structure, teaching staff level and professional composition have great advantages. Meanwhile our studentsIn addition to taking courses offered by our English College170In addition to multi-credit courses, you can also choose minors and second degrees at the w88 casino. The politics, economics, law and other majors of the University of Economics and Business are among the best in the country. Therefore, it is more natural for students who major in humanities such as English to choose politics, economics and law as a second major. Our English major here is a humanities program based on the w88 casino's politics, economics, and law, so we study politics, economy, and law based on the humanities.

Our teachers are a combination of college teachers and w88 casino teachers, forming such a unique advantage that other universities or other colleges cannot copy. As far as I know, for example, for business English majors, many universities in China have English teachers plus business teachers. Our English teachers teach business, and the business teachers know English. There is a natural crossover. And most of these business teachers have returned from international studies and have doctorates from first-class foreign universities. In addition, our majors, such as the Business English major, although it is an applied major, it also has a group of teachers with profound knowledge. These teachers have national topics, have world-class publications, and have written books. For example, all universities in the country now have theirAlmost all textbooks for business English majors are produced by the University of Economics and Business. We will next start publishing corresponding teaching materials for our English major and corresponding teaching materials for our translation major.

Students’ destination after graduation

Moderator:The next question is of great concern to our candidates and their parents: What is the employment situation of this graduate of our English College? Also, if students do not want to choose employment immediately but choose to continue their postgraduate studies, what is the approximate proportion?

Xiang Mingyou:If evaluated according to the current employment rate figures, ourEmployment rate in98%Above. Our current basically formed situation consists of three parts. The first part includes20More than 100% of children have entered the country's first-class universities to continue their studies. They are willing to study for master's degrees in languages and literature, as well as business, accounting, and finance, or to receive direct doctorate and integrated master's and doctorate training. More than 40% of students, about 43%-45%, go to first-class foreign universities to continue their studies. They span a wide range and go to the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and our country’s Hong Kong region. They will go to places like Columbia University, University of Chicago, Harvard University, Boston University, New York University, University of Edinburgh, Oxford University, Cambridge University, etc. to continue studying languages, literature, economics, finance, and communication. Less than 30% of students are employed in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Commerce, the Big Four accounting firms, large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises, and foreign-invested enterprises. 1%-2% of children will choose to become village officials, return to their hometowns to inherit the family business, or engage in freelance work.

So students from the University of Economics and Business have no problem finding employment. Employment is not our pressure.

Cultivate characteristics

Moderator:Okay, we have another question to ask the dean. w88 casino of English, w88 casino nowCharacteristics of talent training modelIn what aspects is it reflected?

Xiang Mingyou:Speaking of the talent training characteristics of the University of Economics and Business, why are more than 98% of people employed? Why can we provide so many outstanding alumni to the Ministry of Commerce and other national ministries? It is because our students not only know English, but also speak very good English. They are very professional. In addition to English, he understands economics, law, and business. He has a broad vision and a high level of structure. Why do you say this? As far as campus is concerned, there are3400There are many international students, and they are all international students studying for degrees. This should be one of the best among universities in the country.

The University of Economics and Business is not large, butInternationalizationThe portion is huge. So the policy we proposed at that time was called“High layout, wide field of view”. This field of view is wide, yesThere are many modules in the curriculum system for everyone to choose from. We have dedicated teachers who can explain to you and communicate with you in English. While learning English, you can also learn a major, and while learning a major, you can increase your application of English. We are a small United Nations on campus, and we are located in Beijing. These children learn English, understand law, business, and humanities, so they have many internship opportunities and have a lot of experience. In addition, the University of Economics and Business has long insisted on openingInternational Summer w88 casino, inviting first-class scholars from the world's top universities to teach students throughout the holidays, this is United Nations-style training. So this all contributes to the high standards of our students. It should be said that the foreign language major and English major of the w88 casino should be one of the most valued majors in non-foreign language colleges across the country. Foreign languages are valued and the platform is well-organized. It is the only university of economics and business in the country. Talents are special, our teachers are special, our campus is special, the components of our campus are special, therefore the products are special. What is special about it is that it cannot be copied; what is special about it is that it keeps up with the needs of society and the development of the times; what is special about it is that it has the basic qualities that high-end talents trained by other schools have, and it has its own characteristics.This is what I want to say that the w88 casino is a genuine, value-for-money w88 casino with basic professional support.

Message from the Dean

Moderator:Okay, at the end of the program, I would also like to give some of your messages to the dean to our candidates and their parents.

Xiang Mingyou:Okay. First of all, welcome our parents and candidates across the countryEncourage to apply for the w88 casino. Second, candidates and parents who are talented and interested in language, but don’t want to just learn language, you can apply to the w88 casino of English at the w88 casino, where in addition to learning English, you can also learn all the majors you can imagine related to humanities and social sciences. Third, the w88 casino of English at the w88 casino is a warm and harmonious family, a place where talents come out in large numbers. Over the past 70 years, it has trained a large number of experts, scholars, government officials, and even industrialists and entrepreneurs. We have a very strong alumni team, which will provide you with opportunities and accumulation for your future employment and advancement. We cultivate talents for the country and contribute to the development of the w88 casino.
