Do I need to take an oral test at school if I want to apply for a minor language major such as Japanese and Spanish in the 12-year college entrance examination? I'm from Anhui Province.

enrollment methods for minority languages to take part in the oral English test

Speaking of enrollment for minority languages, there are generally three ways:

The first is to enroll students separately in advance. Most colleges and universities enroll students in small languages separately in advance, organize their own propositions and exams, and enroll them before the national college entrance examination. The examination includes written examination and interview. The written examination generally assesses Chinese, mathematics and English. Interview assessment English proficiency test and phonetic imitation of the reported small language, the admitted candidates will no longer take the college entrance examination. However, the Ministry of Education confirmed last year that this enrollment method will be cancelled in 211, and undergraduate enrollment will be conducted in batches in advance in the national unified examination students.

the second is a separate interview. You need to take the college entrance examination, and you should be admitted before the batch is advanced (commonly known as "zero batch"). At present, this enrollment method is only adopted by some minor language majors in Beijing Foreign Studies University, beijing language and culture university and beijing international studies university to recruit students from Beijing. Candidates normally take part in the college entrance examination, and the results of the college entrance examination and interview should be considered comprehensively when the school is admitted. Admission and filing are completed before the undergraduate batch is advanced. It should be noted that this enrollment method does not affect the early batch of undergraduate courses and the selection of a batch of volunteers, and students can fill in the college entrance examination volunteers normally.

the third is to take the college entrance examination normally. Some schools put some minority language majors in the early batch or the first batch, or even enroll students in the second and third batches. This kind of enrollment is no different from the ordinary college entrance examination, and schools generally only enroll students according to the results of the college entrance examination.

Rational thinking on the application for minority languages

Compared with English majors, minority languages are indeed easier to find jobs, and things are scarce, especially the successful hosting of the Beijing Olympic Games and the Shanghai World Expo, which has enhanced everyone's attention to minority languages. The one-time employment rate of minority language majors in some colleges even reached 1%.

However, with the increasing enrollment of minority language colleges, the advantages of minority language employment are weakening. It is understood that the destinations of graduates majoring in minority languages are mainly: government foreign affairs departments, universities, news media organizations, foreign enterprises and Sino-foreign joint ventures, foreign affairs offices in various provinces and cities, foreign trade companies, tourism companies, overseas study training institutions and cultural communication institutions. However, judging from the recruitment positions announced by the Liaison Office, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Commerce and other ministries in recent years, the demand for minority language professionals is very limited. Except for a few widely used languages, most minority languages only recruit 1 ~ 2 people.

as for the demand of enterprises for small languages, it is also very limited. Because there is no difference between high and low languages, what kind of small languages enterprises need depends not only on local economic development, local cultural atmosphere, but also on the target countries of local investment, especially on the relationship between China and small language countries, including geographical and political and economic relations.

The market economy is unpredictable, and international relations are complicated and changeable. No one can guarantee that any language will continue to be popular. Moreover, according to the development law of the objective world, when a thing is hot to the point of being hot, it is often the time when it begins to cool down. The "smallness" of a small language itself shows the limitations of its development, so I hope that candidates and parents will remain more rational and calm.

Quality requirements for learning a small language

Some students think that since the content of the small language exam is mainly English, students with good English scores are definitely suitable for learning a small language. Actually, that's not necessarily true. There are many different names of small languages, and some languages have special pronunciations. If you learn English well, you may not be able to learn it well. Because you learn English from primary school, the college entrance examination is mainly based on written test results, while small languages are not learned until you enter college, and oral English accounts for a large proportion of the learning courses. By this time, you have passed the best period of learning a foreign language. Therefore, learning a small language requires a certain talent, such as articulate speech, strong imitation, and sensitivity to language reactions. It is always hard to learn a foreign language by rote memorization of phonetic symbols and letters.

There is a saying among college students studying minority languages: "Three minutes of Korean, three hours of English, three days of French, three months of Japanese, three years of German and three hundred years of Arabic." This statement may not be scientific, but it reflects the difficulty of learning small languages to some extent.

in short, to learn a small language, you must first have a strong interest in it. Don't apply blindly because the minor language major is popular or the employment is good. Learning a small language requires not only memorizing words, learning grammar and listening to tapes, but also understanding the cultural and social development of this country. Without strong interest and persistent persistence, learning will be very painful. Secondly, candidates' ability to understand and use language is relatively strong. Language is used for communication and application. Some candidates are good at writing, but they are introverted and have poor oral expression skills, so they are not suitable for small language majors.

Therefore, I'd like to remind candidates that if you sing out of tune, can't hear all the tones, slurred speech, and have poor imitation ability, you may not be suitable for learning small languages. Even if you are lucky enough to enter this major, it will not be conducive to your future development and further study, and you may even repeat the grade and drop out of school.

Recommend institutions with advantages in minority languages

There are many institutions that offer minority languages, but I still suggest that candidates give priority to those institutions that have their own characteristics and advantages in school-running concepts and curriculum, have super teaching staff, and rank among the top universities in the country in minority languages.
