1, the teaching content is different. Primary education is biased towards pedagogy, and the knowledge learned will be a lot of pedagogy content, and there will be courses such as psychology for primary school students. English education majors focus on English knowledge and basic education courses.

2. The teacher qualification certificate is different. The teacher qualification certificate issued by English education is from middle school, and both primary school and middle school can be employed. The teacher qualification certificate issued by English education in primary schools is primary schools.

3. Different occupations. English education is mainly based on English major courses, and at the same time, basic education courses such as pedagogy and psychology should be taken. There are fewer English courses in English education in primary schools than in English teachers, and the professional requirements for English are also lower than in English education.

Primary school education majors train primary school teachers, educational researchers, educational administrators at all levels and other educators who are all-round developed morally, intellectually and physically, have high educational theoretical literacy and strong practical working ability in education (Chinese, mathematics and English).

English education majors mainly train English teachers in primary and secondary schools who have solid basic knowledge and skills of English language, can skillfully use English language, have advanced educational concepts, are familiar with the basic laws of education, can use modern teaching means and methods, and can adapt to the reform system of new English curriculum standards in primary and secondary schools.

Expand the development prospect of data

From the end of 20 15 to the end of 12, the number of primary school education professionals has a downward trend, due to various reasons. With the decrease of primary school students, the merger of schools and the saturation of primary school teachers, it is difficult for new teachers to enter.

Although the education authorities have alleviated the employment difficulties of primary school teachers through the early retirement of old teachers and the elimination of unqualified teachers through competition, and achieved certain results, it can only be an expedient measure. After all, the old teachers are limited and the job competition is limited.

Since a few years ago, teachers' access has been liberalized to the society. As long as social workers with teacher qualification certificates pass the exam, they can enter the education system and compete for teacher positions.

Especially with the increasing difficulty of social employment, many Chinese departments, mathematics departments, English departments and even graduate students have joined the competition of primary school teachers, which undoubtedly increases the employment difficulty of undergraduate primary education students.

Due to the limitations of English education, the current employment prospects are worrying. As far as English majors are concerned, employment is difficult, and the employment of English education as a normal education is even narrower.

In today's economic globalization, mastering foreign languages is a necessary condition for the smooth progress of international exchanges and cooperation. Every year, a considerable number of candidates choose English as a foreign language major, with narrow employment channels and saturated talents.

After the interview, I learned that the main problems in the employment of foreign language majors are: narrow employment channels for English majors, saturation of talents, and mountains of cross-majors.

The consultant of Unique Show Career Consulting Company pointed out that parents and students have always had high enthusiasm and investment in English major. The result of excessive attention is that the market demand is saturated, and a large number of job seekers who only know English are inevitably caught in the dilemma of finding jobs.
