There are different grades, so please refer to the application guide. I won't go into details here.
As far as I know, many small language majors in universities have the opportunity to communicate abroad. For example, German in Shanghai needs a high GPA, and Korean in Jilin University is available to all students.
Foreign enterprises and consulates
Now, learn professional courses well and get a good grade in the college entrance examination. Small languages are learned from scratch in universities. So study hard when you go to college.
In addition, the following are various introductions of small languages by Hujiang. com。
The scientific name of a small language should be called "non-common language". At present, six languages are the working languages of the United Nations, namely English, Chinese, French, Russian, Spanish and Arabic. All United Nations meetings are interpreted in these languages, and all official documents are printed or published online in translated versions of these languages.
However, in the field of college enrollment in China, it is customary to call foreign language majors other than English "small languages", including the above six languages.
What languages are included in minor languages?
There are two main types of minority languages enrolled in China University: one is the European language family, which mainly includes Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, Czech, Dutch, Swedish, Polish, Hungarian, Italian, Romanian, Bulgarian, Albanian and Serbian; The other is the Asian-African language family, which mainly includes Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, Vietnamese, Burmese, Thai, Lao, Malay, Filipino, Cambodian, Arabic, Indonesian, Urdu, Hausa, Persian, Pashto, Swahili and Sinhalese. Among these small languages, there are more than a dozen students enrolled all the year round, while other languages are recruited only once every other year or several years.
At present, there are many colleges and universities offering minor language majors in China, with more than 30 languages. I won't introduce them here, just a few.
Russian
People are no strangers to Russian, which is the most popular foreign language in China for a period of time. Many people learn Russian as a foreign language when they are young. Russian is one of the official languages of the United Nations and Russia, and it is also one of the official languages of ethnic minorities recognized by the people of China. At present, the population whose mother tongue is Russian exceeds10.40 billion, and the population whose second language is Russian is close to 45 million. Therefore, although the former Soviet Union has its own national language, it can generally speak Russian. Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan.
At present, there are many colleges (more than 90) offering Russian majors in China, and the overall enrollment scale is not large. This major mainly trains Russian senior professionals with solid Russian language foundation, proficient Russian skills, high-level language application ability and extensive scientific and cultural knowledge, who can engage in translation, research, teaching and management in foreign affairs, economy and trade, culture, journalism, education, scientific research, tourism and other departments.
2. French
French is the language with the largest number and widest range in countries other than English. At present, 42% French speakers live in Europe and 39% in Africa. France ranks first among French-speaking countries with a population of 63 million, followed by the Democratic Republic of Congo, Algeria, C? te d 'Ivoire, Canada, Morocco, Cameroon, Tunisia, Belgium and Romania. There are more than 200 million French speakers in the world, and the number of people learning French has also increased greatly, reaching nearly 1, 654,380+0000.
According to a statistic of the Ministry of Education, among more than 200 undergraduate majors surveyed, the initial employment rate of French major ranks first10; After half a year, the average monthly salary of fresh graduates is 5552 yuan for boys and 4520 yuan for girls, which is a major with higher income for undergraduate graduates.
At present, more than 70 colleges and universities in China offer French majors, which can cultivate students with a solid foundation in French and senior French professionals who can engage in translation, scientific research, teaching and management in the fields of diplomacy, foreign trade, translation, international relations, foreign affairs secretaries, media, education and foreign-funded enterprises.
3. Spanish
Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese belong to the Latin family and are widely used in various countries and regions. Spain and more than 20 countries in Latin America (such as Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Cuba, Colombia, Venezuela, etc. ) Spanish is the official language. It is also one of the six working languages of the United Nations. Spanish is the largest foreign language in America.
At present, nearly 20 colleges and universities in China have set up Spanish majors, which mainly train senior professionals who can engage in Spanish translation, teaching, tour guides and Spanish language and literature research in foreign affairs, economy and trade, culture, press and publication, education, scientific research and tourism. After 2007, China's enthusiasm for learning Spanish is growing. College enrollment is good and competition is fierce. In 20 1 1 minority language admissions in beijing language and culture university, the highest scores of arts and sciences are all Spanish, arts 6 1 1, science 6 15, and the admission ratio is 35∶ 1.
4. Japanese
Although Japan is the only country and region that uses Japanese, there are many Japanese majors in China, with more than 220 colleges and universities. Due to the geographical relationship, a large number of Japanese enterprises have invested and set up factories in China. Among the top 500 companies in the world, Japan has always ranked second, and many Japanese graduates are mainly employed by Japanese companies.
Statistics show that the employment ratio of Japanese talents in various industries is: Japanese-funded enterprises account for 50%-60%; State organs (including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, governments at all levels, customs, foreign trade offices and trade promotion associations, etc.). ) accounts for about 20%; University teachers and Japanese tour guides each account for about 10%.
This major focuses on cultivating Japanese talents with both ability and political integrity who can master the basic skills of Japanese listening, speaking, reading, writing and translation.
5. Arabic
Arabic is mainly used in West Asia, the Middle East and North Africa, and is the official language of more than 20 countries including Saudi Arabia, Yemen, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Algeria and Morocco. In addition, some Hui people in China can also speak Arabic. The population whose mother tongue is Arabic is more than 2. 1 100 million, and Arabic is the religious language of Muslims all over the world.
It is recognized that Arabic is difficult to learn, but in recent years, the popularity of applying for Arabic has continued to heat up, which is not unrelated to the good employment of Arabic. Middle Eastern countries produce oil, and many graduates majoring in Arabic, such as Peking University and Beijing Foreign Studies University, are often booked by CCTV, China Radio International, PetroChina and CNOOC before graduation. In Arabic-speaking countries, son preference is more serious, so it is really not easy for girls to have a better development.
At present, more than ten colleges and universities in China offer Arabic majors. It mainly trains senior Arabic professionals who have a solid Arabic foundation and extensive scientific and cultural knowledge and can engage in translation, scientific research, teaching and management in foreign affairs, economy and trade, culture, press and publication, education, scientific research and tourism.
Specialty and employment
Since 2005, the demand for Japanese, French, German, Spanish and other professionals in the national job market has doubled, and there have been more than a dozen units competing for a graduate. The high employment rate of 100% offered by Beijing Foreign Studies University and Shanghai International Studies University has also continued for several years. The minor language major, which has always been inconspicuous, has suddenly become a "hot commodity" in the job market in recent years. According to a survey, among the top 10 undergraduate majors, minor language majors occupy three positions, namely, French majors with the highest monthly salary, German majors ranked third and Japanese majors ranked ninth.
The employment channels of minority languages are mainly concentrated in the following fields: government civil servants, university teachers, foreign companies and Sino-foreign joint ventures, foreign trade companies, news media organizations, tourism companies, study abroad training institutions, cultural communication companies, etc.
Minority languages have a wide coverage and many majors, and the employment situation and development trend are also different. People are also biased and focused when choosing to apply for the exam. Answering "What small language do you think is the most beneficial?" A survey of 1526 respondents shows that French, German and Spanish are the majority of European languages. Followed by Japanese and Korean of Asian-African languages; Then Arabic, accounting for 16.3% of the respondents. It fully reflects some tendencies when people choose minor language majors.
Generally speaking, the differences in employment forms of minority languages are mainly influenced by three aspects: 1. The number of people learning a language; 2. The number and economic situation of countries that speak a certain language; 3. China's relations with these countries include geographical, political and economic aspects.
So, how to examine the employment prospects of small languages? First of all, the communication between the countries explaining the language and China. If China has extensive exchanges and cooperation with the country, it will need a large number of talents who know the language of the country, and the employment prospects will be good. Second, we should understand the history, economy, culture and population of the language countries that choose to learn, and plan our future development direction. Third, understand the scope of use of the language you have learned. If there used to be colonies in countries with this language, the official languages of these colonies after People's Republic of China (PRC)'s independence and the founding of the People's Republic of China generally still use the languages of the countries to which they belonged. For example, many African countries still use French officially. Know whether the official language of the country you are studying is your own language or other languages. If the state official uses both Mandarin and English, it means that you need to learn both Mandarin and English well at least.
Application guide
Three enrollment methods of minority languages
Before 20 10, many colleges and universities enrolled minority languages separately in advance, organized their own propositions and exams, and accepted them before the national unified examination. After candidates are admitted, they generally no longer take the general college entrance examination and cannot change their major. Since 20 10, 19 colleges and universities no longer recruit students in small languages, but enroll students in advance or in batches. By the end of last year, the original small language enrollment methods of independent proposition and independent enrollment were all changed to enrollment among students in the national unified examination.
At present, there are roughly three ways to enroll students in minority languages. One is to take a separate test, take the college entrance examination, and be admitted before the batch is advanced; Second, undergraduate courses are admitted in batches in advance; The third is to admit other batches of undergraduates except for the advance approval of undergraduates. These three methods are described in detail below.
The first is to take a separate test and take part in the college entrance examination. Candidates should take the exams organized by colleges and universities separately, and also take the college entrance examination. These minor language majors are admitted before the advance approval. This method is generally adopted by universities in Beijing when enrolling students in Beijing. As of last year, only some minor language majors in Beijing Foreign Studies University, beijing language and culture university and beijing international studies university enrolled students in Beijing through separate entrance examinations and separate admissions. The enrollment method of 20 12 is subject to the announcement of each school this year.
Second, the undergraduate course is admitted in batches in advance. There is no difference between the application method and other majors admitted in batches in advance. For example, small language majors in Peking University, China Renmin University, university of international business and economics, China Communication University and Foreign Affairs College generally enroll students in batches in advance. Some minor language majors in beijing language and culture university, such as translation (French), are also admitted in batches in advance. Candidates only need to fill in the corresponding volunteers in advance.
The third is to admit other undergraduate batches except the advance batch, such as beijing language and culture university, Capital Normal University, Shanghai International Studies University, Nanjing University, Sichuan University, Zhongnan University of Economics and Law and so on. Tianjin Foreign Studies University, Dalian Foreign Studies University, Jinan University and other universities enrolled students in the second batch of undergraduate courses; Tianjin Normal University Jingu College and Qingdao Agricultural University Haidu College enrolled students in three batches. The number of small language majors enrolled in these institutions is also very considerable.
(The institutions listed above enrolled students in previous years. 20 12 minority language enrollment is subject to the enrollment brochure published by the school. )
Applicants with good students and high scores should be cautious.
The employment prospect of minority languages is hot, which leads to fierce competition among candidates. In 20 1 1 year, seven small language majors in beijing language and culture university were enrolled in Beijing in advance, and the ratio of the number of applicants who exceeded the key line to the number of students enrolled was 25:1; In Beijing, Beijing Foreign Studies University enrolled 92 students in 20 1 18 minority languages. Among the admitted candidates, there are 32 science candidates with 600 points or above.
Although almost every batch of small language majors has enrollment, no matter which batch, the admission scores of small language majors are relatively high. Although small languages are popular, the most important thing for candidates to apply for small language majors is to see if they are interested in learning languages, and not to apply blindly just to increase their chances of further study. When learning a new language, especially a small language, students spend a lot of time and energy to recite, practice and read a lot of articles. If the candidates are not interested in learning the language, even if they are admitted, the study after admission will be more boring.
In addition to interest and talent, candidates should also consider admission scores. Some candidates think it is difficult to enroll in small languages. In fact, as a way for colleges and universities to select and train talents with special languages, the admission of minority languages is as difficult as the college entrance examination.
Take Bell International Studies University as an example. 20 1 1, 84 students were enrolled separately for minor language majors, and all 8 minor language majors were admitted. The highest scores admitted to this school are French major 6 13, German 6 12, Spanish 596, Japanese 588, Portuguese 578 and Arabic 576. With the increasing number of applicants for minor language majors in recent years, the admission scores of minor language majors have increased year by year. Therefore, candidates should apply carefully in combination with the admission scores and academic performance of small language majors in relevant universities in recent years.
Judging from the situation of 20 1 1, the minor language majors of Beijing Foreign Studies University, beijing language and culture university and beijing international studies university volunteered to enroll students in Beijing, and they were admitted separately before the early batch admission. Candidates should take the college entrance examination, but they don't need to fill in the small language professional volunteers. Candidates who have been admitted will no longer be admitted to other schools. Therefore, when applying for this kind of small language colleges, candidates should not only have fairly high college entrance examination scores, but also have oral and interview results of the reported colleges. The school will determine the minimum control score for boys and girls according to the candidates' scores and the admission ratio of the enrollment plan. At the same time, many colleges and universities also attach great importance to the scores of Chinese, foreign languages and other single subjects, which candidates can't ignore when applying for the exam.
