Master of International Education of Chinese as a Foreign Language and Chinese under the Major of Linguistics and Applied Linguistics (or Chinese Linguistics)

What is the difference? Others hesitate between the two and don't know which major to apply for. Here we briefly answer for your reference only. First of all, let's talk about the difference between the master of international education in Chinese as a foreign language and Chinese under linguistics and applied linguistics (or Chinese philology). The former is the traditional academic postgraduate education, that is, what we usually call "Master of Science" (or "Academic Master"), which pays more attention to theoretical research, focusing on Chinese itself and "what is Chinese as a foreign language, how to learn it and how to teach it", while the latter mainly focuses on practice, that is, teaching Chinese as a foreign language itself, which is a "professional master" (or "professional master").

")。 Depending on the school, this major may have an internship abroad for one month or half a year. Every school has internship opportunities, at least in China. In other words, if you want to do theoretical research, lay a solid linguistic foundation and serve the teaching of Chinese as a foreign language, you can apply for the following courses: linguistics, applied linguistics (or Chinese philology); If you want to work abroad

Teachers of Chinese as a foreign language

The latter seems to be more practical. So its tuition is more expensive. This is also the reason why the state does not provide scholarships. Secondly, talk about how to choose these two majors. In fact, this should be considered from your own situation before making a decision. All factors need to be integrated and cannot be generalized. First, let's see if you want to be admitted after one year, or just want to be admitted to the best. Practically speaking, the Master of Chinese International Education is better than linguistics and applied linguistics (or Chinese philology). Because in general schools, the Master of Chinese International Education Examination will take Chinese as a foreign language instead of ancient Chinese, which will have some advantages for students who are teaching Chinese as a foreign language, because it will be relatively beneficial for China students if they take the ancient Chinese examination. Judging from the number of comments,

In ancient Chinese, Wang Li's two books were generally required, but in fact, three or four books had to be read, so it was the review amount of four books. The subject of teaching Chinese as a foreign language is generally Zhao Jinming's Introduction to Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language or Liu Xun's Introduction to Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language (the bibliography of northern languages, even if it is not in the reference materials for postgraduate entrance examination, you'd better read it. Very practical), the most is Zhou Xiaobing's Introduction to Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language (this book was tested by Sun Yat-sen University). Although it looks very thick, it is only a summary of a book at best, and in terms of content, you should be able to figure out who is easier. Ancient Chinese should pay more attention to general theory and selected books. Take Jida University as an example. You often take an examination of translation, whether it is the translation of words or paragraphs. After all, it was a long time ago. It is a historical language, and Chinese as a foreign language is also modern Chinese.

So you can understand, hehe. Of course, if you are from China or have a good command of ancient Chinese, it is suggested that you take linguistics and applied linguistics. Second, in terms of enrollment. Linguistics and applied linguistics (or Chinese philology) are general masters of science, and the master of Chinese international education is a professional master. In the past two years, the country has been expanding the number of professional masters. In 2009, the enrollment increased by 50,000, and 10 will at least not be lower than this figure. Therefore, it is relatively easy to get a master's degree. Moreover, the competition between linguistics and applied linguistics (or China philology) is quite fierce, as in any school. Take Jida as an example. The lowest score in the first year of 2009 was 330, and the lowest score in linguistics and applied linguistics was 393. Hehe, there is a big difference. In terms of the number of people, the number of masters of Chinese international education is several times that of linguistics and applied linguistics. In addition, linguistics and applied linguistics recruited 2 1 and left 5, which means that they actually recruited 16 people. The intensity of competition can be imagined. So in contrast, the competition for professional masters is not so fierce. But there are advantages and disadvantages. More people are recruited, the quality of students will naturally be high or low, and the gold content may decline. But there should not be much change in the short term, that is to say, it will not suddenly drop from a very high level to a very low quality. Besides, as long as you have strong professional qualities, you still have advantages. After all, professional masters focus on practice, and employment is relatively better. Aren't we going to graduate school just to find a good job and a relatively good job? Third, look at your own economic strength. There is no scholarship or public expense for the Master of Chinese International Education, even if he takes the first place. And the tuition is more expensive. However, linguistics and applied linguistics (or China philology) do have scholarships, which may not be at public expense, but the scholarship coverage is high. For example, the top 40% students of Jida University can get 100% tuition, the middle 40% students can get 50% tuition, and only the last 20% students can't get scholarships. Therefore, if we consider economic strength, we should consider our own actual situation. Let me give you a detailed introduction to the Master of Chinese International Education. In the first year of 2009, the Master of Chinese International Education enrolled students for undergraduates. Previously, only on-the-job students were recruited, so the tuition was more expensive. On-the-job tuition seems to be 24 thousand, and undergraduates will be much cheaper, but it will be relatively expensive because there is no scholarship (it is found that the tuition fee for master of Chinese international education in Jida University is1.20 thousand per year).

, is more expensive. But Beijing is more expensive, and other schools are generally around 10 thousand.) I have both certificates after graduation, because this is called

Chinese international education

Professional master, after graduation, the Ministry of Education awarded the master's degree certificate of Chinese international education. The number of professional masters in our country is very small, and there are very few majors involved. It seems that there are only a few such as master of law, master of education, master of translation, MBA and so on. Therefore, the state wants to increase some such holders.

Professional master's degree

The number of certificates, combined with the "fire" of teaching Chinese as a foreign language in recent years, I think it is also appropriate to offer a master's degree in Chinese international education. Furthermore, in recent years, students who have taken the Master of Chinese International Education may still have an advantage, because in the expansion of enrollment, some schools even gave up other enrollment places to some masters of Chinese International Education. On the one hand, they responded to the national call to train international education professionals in China, on the other hand, they also wanted to charge high tuition fees. Of course, no investment, no return. As for the question of whether it's worth it, it's up to you. This major is expensive because, like the Master of Laws, it is self-funded. It is stipulated by the state that dozens of domestic schools that recruit masters of Chinese international education basically do not provide scholarships. I asked the graduate students who teach Chinese as a foreign language, and she said that the employment prospects of this major are better in the future, so the state invested less during the postgraduate period. Let's talk about another problem that we have to face-the employment prospect of the Master of Chinese International Education. I can only say realistically that no one dares to give you a 100% guarantee on the employment issue. Many people think that they are facing an economic crisis.

The country can't solve the employment problem of so many people, so it proposes to expand the enrollment of professional masters and recruit so many people at once. After graduation, we actually became mice.

. Not as good as I thought. This analysis makes sense. I have thought about these questions, but I have no answers, because any situation may exist. Employment itself is related to many factors, including the country's economic situation, employment policy, China's economic strength, the popularity of Chinese, the number of students enrolled and so on. Any of the above factors will affect the employment of this major. Now this country is facing an economic crisis. On the one hand, the expansion of professional masters is to cultivate skilled talents, on the other hand, it is of course to alleviate the employment pressure. Moreover, if you recruit so many people, you can't guarantee that you will all achieve employment in the future, and no one can guarantee it. But you should know that gold is everywhere. As long as you are good enough, you will have relatively good job opportunities. Otherwise, even if you pass the initial test, you may be unemployed after two years. Hehe, the opportunity is in your own hands. There is also a Chinese master of international education who said that the internship abroad is the same. I don't think it's possible to send everyone abroad for internship. Therefore, this kind of mass-produced professional master will inevitably face an embarrassing situation after graduation, but it cannot be completely denied. After all, it is just the beginning of enrollment, and it still has certain advantages. Moreover, this major itself focuses on practice and should be better than those who study purely theoretically. Others said they wanted to teach at a university. Well, hehe, to tell you the truth, I think if you want to stay in the university and teach Chinese as a foreign language, you should at least take a doctorate. You want to find a good job opportunity after graduation. I don't think this is realistic. Ten years ago, it was still possible, but now,

The quality of the people has improved, and the country has popularized academic education.

Graduate students are no longer the darling. Now that I have graduated from college, the streets are full of undergraduates. Graduate students have graduated for three years, and it is estimated that there are graduate students all over the street. I wonder if you can understand this. In short, academic education is not up to you and me, and the severe employment situation is not a problem that the country can solve in one day or two. What should we do? I think we can only improve our ability. If you are good enough, of course, you won't worry about employment, and even employment opportunities will take the initiative to find you. This society is like this, very realistic, and the survival of the fittest. So, think about which road you are suitable for, academic research or business politics.

, and so on. Some people ask whether they can really learn what they want during graduate school. I think it's up to you. The training direction and goal of the school can only be rough, and it depends on yourself to really learn what degree. Including the undergraduate period, it is the same. The above suggestions are for reference only. It is my humble opinion after I finished my master's degree in Chinese international education in Jilin University. Finally, I feel that Jida is relatively easy to take the exam, because the repetition rate of real questions is high, and review is relatively labor-saving. Finally, I sincerely wish you success in the postgraduate entrance examination. No matter which major you choose, you should follow your own actual situation. Come on! I wish you all achieve your goals! People have been asking, what is the difference between the direction of teaching Chinese as a foreign language under the major of linguistics and applied linguistics (or Chinese philology) and the master of Chinese international education? Others hesitate between the two and don't know which major to apply for. Here we briefly answer for your reference only.

However, Beijing is more expensive, and other schools generally have about 10,000 certificates after graduation, because this is called Master of Chinese International Education, and the degree certificate of Master of Chinese International Education after graduation is issued by the Ministry of Education. The number of professional masters in China is very small, and there are only a few majors involved, such as master of law, master of education, master of translation, MBA and so on.
