Moderator: Dear netizens, welcome to the video interview on the Education Channel of People’s Daily Online. With the arrival of the employment season for graduates, students have paid more attention to such issues as what kind of job they can find with their majors and how practical they are in society. In view of this situation, we are focusing on this winter.

Wang Lifei: Hello, hello, netizen friends.

Moderator: The English major of the University of Foreign Economics and Business is probably one of the best in the country. Let us first introduce to us the current situation of our school.

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

Wang Lifei: Our school was established in1951, the beginning of the founding of New China. Our English major was also established when the school was founded, and has gone through a lot60Years 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.Talent 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 They are all majoring in English in our school, right? How does our school maintain such a good position?

Wang Lifei: The school 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 w88 online sports bettingDefense, and current simultaneous interpreter at the United Nations Gao Fan60Over the years, it has trained a large number of professionals useful to the country and the economy and society.

School of English, University of International TradeFeatures: 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 our school itself?

Wang Lifei: We adhere to the concept of applying what we have learned. The second is that the school places special emphasis on the model of cultivating international talents. In accordance with the development strategy of our university, internationalization is the foundation of our school, the way to strengthen the school, and one of our characteristics. source, so,60For many years, we have emphasized internationalization, 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 will make our talents not only

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 school, the first thing to discuss is probably the teaching staff. Does our school 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, such as many important teachers and some well-known experts who used to work in the school and are famous at home and abroad, such as those who compiled China's first English-Chinese translation tutorial Professor Zhang Peiji, an expert from our college.2008, it was among the first batch approved by the Ministry of Education as a national-level teaching team for Business English. This teaching team should be said to be relatively strong. There are four sub-teams below. One is for language skills. Teachers with particularly good foreign language skills and top-notch listening, speaking, reading and writing are put into this team to teach students basic foreign language skills. In addition, we have established a second team, which is

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.

Wang Lifei: The school has always emphasized that as an international foreign economic and trade 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. .CPU, why is it calledCPUWhat about? It is a university that is crazy about giving speeches. It constantly gives big speeches, small speeches, big keynote speeches, small keynote speeches, grade level lectures, school lectures, and competitions. This is a good exercise for students. In addition, many activities are organized outside the classroom.

Moderator: Very good at self-promotion. I can feel that the children studying foreign trade 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 school's curriculum and teacher matching, including the performance of students' comprehensive abilities. Today we will focus on the confusion faced by English majors in terms of employment.

Wang Lifei: The English w88 casino games loginmajor 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. If you can speak a little English, you will be 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 26004_260686Information 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.2006When we saw the crisis lurking in the English major, 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, which transformed the English major 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 It was us who opened the first one in the country.

Second, those who can pass the English test, 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 aspect, they are actually very competitive.

Moderator: I feel that this has raised high requirements for English majors. Usually, whether we are at the University of International Business and Economics or other universities that offer English majors, we usually learn a foreign language and use it as a tool. Now Just knowing English is not enough, you also need some other more professional basic background, and it is still under the category of English.

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 school 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.

International Trade University brand: graduates everywhereNational ministries, state-owned enterprises, foreign enterprises

Moderator: Listening to your analysis, I feel that our English majors are not actually 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 many jobs. Good job, but the threshold is stuck, and most of the students are outside.98%, 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 University of International Business and Economics plays a certain role.

Moderator: 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 up the job, they found that the overall quality and ability of these students were satisfactory to them through the job inspection, so in this case, he set such a high level A threshold. Of course, this threshold may not be completely correct.

The employment of our classmates, in fact, has been in a wide range of employment fields over the years. They are not what ordinary people or the society think of as English majors. They may be employed in the field of English. In fact, our classmates have a wide range of employment. Some of them go to ministries and commissions. , 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 multinational companies.

In addition, state-owned enterprises originally did not recruit many compound talents with foreign languages ​​and majors. However, a new trend has emerged w88 slotin 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 in one go. Once they learned the news, they immediately sent the human resources director to the school and held a special recruitment session. After the discussion, they made a decision on the spot and admitted five160classmates, 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 our school?

Wang Lifei: Some students are e-commerce companies and want to start their own business, which is called cross-border trade 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, to become civil servants, or to apply for exams.

Moderator: Especially in the current 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?

Wang Lifei: According to our follow-up survey of employed students, after employment, there will generally be some changes in three to five years. Especially for graduates in foreign-related and foreign trade, the changes are relatively large. Changing jobs , changing positions, changing companies, and even changing countries is quite frequent.

Moderator: 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

Moderator: 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 or take it too seriously, thinking that this is my lifelong future and happiness. If so, Thinking means going into battle carrying a baggage, and you will often fail.

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 major students studying majors in school, major development, and professional prospects and trends when they are employed. 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 must take many steps faster than other students.

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

Wang Lifei: We have also made some reforms, such as assigning double tutors to students. The school 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, 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, focusing on industries and occupations, and future development, learning professional English, so that he will have a
