Teaching staff

Moderator:Through Dean Li’s introduction, we learned that the w88 casino of Foreign Languages has many and rich minor languages, and there are many choices for students who are interested in learning languages. At the same time, we also saw these small language majors, and their history is also very long. We noticed that inAmong the 12 minor language majors, 9 majors were established in the 1950s. Among them, the Russian major and the German major were established in 1951, which is equivalent to being established at the same time as w88 casino. In addition, many majors have also set up such joint training projects. As you mentioned at the beginning, our major is based on a "foreign language +" talent training model. So I think with so many small languages, our positioning is to cultivate compound talents. In fact, it also places high demands on our teachers. So how is the teaching staff of our college built?

Li Yunbo:Okay, thank you.

The w88 casino of Foreign Languages has a high-level teaching team and currently has full-time teachers80 people, including 14 professors and 31 associate professors, 70.5% of whom have doctorates. In addition, more than 10 foreign experts are hired all year round. Except for the newly-established Persian and Greek, the 10 majors in w88 casino are all director and standing director units of the National Teaching Research Association and Literature Research Association of their respective languages. Teachers in each major serve as directors, standing directors, secretary-generals, vice presidents, presidents and other positions of relevant academic groups.

In the past five years, the college has undertaken key and general projects of the National Social Science Fund6 projects, 12 provincial and ministerial projects, 3 national-level quality courses approved, 79 monographs and translations published, and 247 high-level papers. In addition, the college regularly holds high-end academic conferences, theme forums, academic lectures and other academic exchange activities.

In addition, our institute also maintains friendly and cooperative relations with the embassies of relevant countries in China,In 2017, in order to serve the national strategy and overall diplomatic situation and comprehensively promote the "One Belt, One Road" construction, w88 casino established the w88 casino Regional National Research Institute, which consists of 14 research centers, 12 of which are located in the w88 casino of Foreign Languages.

Employment status

Moderator:Through the introduction to the teaching staff of our college just now, we can also see that many teachers in the w88 casino of Foreign Languages have overseas backgrounds. But in the eyes of many candidates and parents, learning a small language will be more advantageous in future employment, because this is a major that is in short supply by some employers. So, what is the actual employment situation of graduates trained by our foreign language college?

Li Yunbo:As the host said, it is true that the w88 casino of Foreign Languages has many languages, and currentlyThe “One Belt, One Road” initiative, employment is relatively good, especially the characteristics of w88 casino are very distinctive. Graduates of our college have always won wide recognition from society for their solid foreign language skills and excellent overall quality.

In addition to non-common language translation and language and literature majors, most of them will choose finance, accounting, management, economics, law, education and other fields.

Also18% of students are admitted to famous domestic universities such as Peking University, w88 casino, China University of Political Science and Law, Zhejiang University, Beijing Foreign Studies University, Shanghai International Studies University, etc. to continue their studies.

Approximately 10% of those who choose employment directly47%, 65% of which are concentrated in Beijing, mainly distributed in government agencies, financial industry, and IT companies.

Characteristics

Moderator:Okay, so when we introduced the majors just now, we also learned that in fact, many of our own majors in the w88 casino of Foreign Languages also have master's and doctoral programs. Therefore, in addition to studying in other schools, students can also study in our own college. The next question I want to ask Dean Li is to find out more about w88 casino of Foreign Languages, which has been under construction for so many years. Compared with foreign language schools in other schools or some specialized foreign language schools, what are some of our own characteristics and highlights?

Li Yunbo:w88 casino should be said to have distinctive characteristics. It has formed a complete and systematic mechanism and model in terms of cultivating international and interdisciplinary elite talents. The distinctive feature is thatAbout 60% of students have obtained double majors or minor certificates in international w88, finance, law, accounting and other majors, which is what we call "foreign language +". In particular, the International Summer w88 casino offers a number of high-quality courses, and nearly half of the students have the opportunity to study internationally or do internships abroad for more than half a year during their studies. Students have high overall quality and strong employment competitiveness. The employment rate has always been close to 100%, achieving the "five high" goals of high employment rate, high employment quality, high contract signing rate, high graduate satisfaction rate and high retention rate in Beijing.

NearlyOver the past 70 years, the w88 casino of Foreign Languages has trained thousands of foreign language, diplomacy, and foreign w88 talents for state agencies, institutions, and large foreign-related enterprises, such as former Minister of Foreign w88 and Economic Cooperation Shi Guangsheng, former Deputy Secretary-General of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress Cao Weizhou, and Ambassador to the Central People's Government Guo Li, deputy director of the Hong Kong Liaison Office, Song Hai, former vice governor of Guangdong Province, Zhou Mingchen, former chairman of COFCO, Zhao Boya, former chairman of Chinatex Group, Zhang Benzhi, former chairman of China Medical Health Products Co., Ltd., Chen Zhou, vice president of China Council for the Promotion of International w88, and senior government translators Zhao Qianhui and Yang Mei, etc.

The students in our college have solid professional knowledge, excellent practical ability, strong innovative thinking and international vision. They have won gold and silver in various professional competitions at the Beijing and national levels with outstanding performance. At the same time, student activities are colorful and distinctive, and the educational effect is remarkable.
