Information about French

United Nations, World Trade Organization, Olympic Games and World Expo; China has a place in many international organizations, and countless facts prove that China will definitely become an economic power in the future. Therefore, foreign language teaching in China will be an important topic in the future. At the same time of economic opening-up, China also urgently needs to communicate with the outside world, which has brought economic growth to China. It is necessary to establish an effective foreign language learning system. French, despite its historical factors and international reputation, still lags behind in China compared with real international foreign language English. However, we also noticed that more and more people in China began to learn French: many colleges and universities set up French departments, and more and more middle school students took French as a second foreign language. More people are interested in French culture (movies, art, music ...) ... English plays a unique role in the foreign language learning in China, because middle school students and college students, and even primary school students in some large and medium-sized cities have to learn English. 265438+At the beginning of the 20th century, 5 12 colleges and universities in China set up English departments and offered English courses at various levels. As for other foreign languages, such as Russian and Japanese, there are 265, 438+07 and 78 university departments respectively, while there are 62 and 47 university departments in French and German respectively. In middle schools, only a few schools (foreign language schools) are allowed to offer foreign language courses other than English from the first grade. However, since the establishment of the 1997 middle school French teaching project, more than 3,000 students in the project 4 1 cooperative schools have used French as a second foreign language. At the beginning of the 20th century, thanks to the good diplomatic relations between China and France, French teaching has made great progress in China. There are the following data to prove it:-In 2000, 700 candidates took the National College French Test Band 4, and in 2004, the number reached 7,000. -In 2000, there were 3,804 students in the four French-speaking leagues. In 2004, the number of students in the eight French-speaking leagues was about 9,800. Among the institutions of higher learning, among more than 65,438+0,700 public schools (China Ministry of Education, July 2005), 65,438+0 have French courses, of which 62 have French departments and 665,438+0 are key institutions.

college course

There are two ways to set up college French courses: professional French and French as a second language. Only in the French department of a university can French professional courses be offered, including French, French culture, French literature, and sometimes business French or other professional French. The academic system of college French major is four years, which is divided into two stages. At the end of the study, you need to take the final exam, write a thesis in French and get a bachelor's degree in French language and literature. For many years, foreign language teaching in China has been focused on language training, which is based on the traditional teaching methods centered on grammar and translation practice. This method has been dominant in foreign language teaching for a long time and still has great influence. Because ordinary teaching methods can no longer meet the needs of gradual clarity, it is possible to develop teaching for purposes other than language. More and more people decide to link the teaching purpose with the job market, so that college students can acquire other knowledge and skills, such as business or law, while learning a language. This is what China said about cultivating compound talents. Therefore, future language learning will also be combined with the study of another subject or subjects.

teacher

French teaching is undertaken by more than 700 teachers in China and about 200 French foreign teachers paid by China University. According to the official statistics of French diplomacy, * * * has more than 55,000 people studying French. The ability of foreign teachers is different from that of diplomas, which is related to the level of recruitment requirements of domestic schools. Middle schools will have the same disunity when recruiting teachers from China, but this phenomenon is much less in colleges and universities. In fact, middle school recruitment only requires undergraduate education, regardless of the subjects studied. Universities require teachers who teach French as a second language to obtain a bachelor's degree in French, and teachers who teach professional French need a master's degree or a doctorate. Recruiting a teacher goes through several stages: reviewing the resume, interviewing and listening to the candidates. In contrast, 80 to 90 universities offer German courses, of which more than 50 have German departments, 800 teachers are from China, and more than 50 foreign teachers are from Germany, of which 27 are paid by the German Embassy. German foreign teachers are not necessarily very professional, because of the lack of candidates, on the one hand, the lack of relevant information in Germany, on the other hand, the requirements of China University are becoming more and more strict. On the contrary, teachers in China must obtain a master's or doctor's degree in German from China. Spanish is taught by 300 China teachers with master's or doctoral degrees and more than 65,438+05 foreign teachers. Foreign teachers are all professional teachers, who are hired and paid by domestic universities and subsidized by the Spanish Embassy.

Educational organization

Undoubtedly, public schools are the primary places to learn foreign languages in China, at all stages. No matter what English is learned in universities or other foreign languages, even the teaching of these foreign languages is gradually expanding to middle schools. Although French teaching lags behind other foreign languages commonly used in China, it ensures the teaching quality to some extent. In fact, French teaching in middle schools is mainly carried out in schools that have participated in French teaching projects in middle schools, and these schools that have signed cooperation agreements enjoy certain preferential policies. In colleges and universities, 175 offers French courses, of which 6 1 is the key institution. Language centers under the name of private, public or embassy are complementary to public schools. Apart from universities, French teaching is mainly undertaken by training institutions.
