Some students' English is really poor, and they can't learn anything. I have seen students who have attended junior high school for three years and paid for English classes at home for three years. The average English score has increased from 35 to 45. The student's grades in other subjects are ok. If his English score reaches the average level of other subjects, the student will have no problem getting into the undergraduate course. However, according to the current English level, I'd better wash and sleep. I can't even read well in junior college. So the operation of "language exchange track" appeared.
But in general, I see more "Japanese", mainly because there are more Chinese characters in Japanese, and Japanese and anime are more popular with students. The difficulty of Japanese college entrance examination papers is also relatively low. Generally speaking, it is more common for students whose English test scores are below 60, and they will switch to Japanese track 120. One way, one way, 60 points. What does this mean? The average undergraduate level reached 2 1 1. Some "pure English" candidates can't fill in their majors, and the actual number is small. The Ministry of Education expressly stipulates that, except for some special colleges such as the military, national defense and public security, colleges and universities may not impose foreign language restrictions on candidates who apply for non-foreign language and literature majors.
Note that the above problems are definitely problems, but the point is that you have to go to college to have a chance to worry about these problems. If you can't learn English well for at least 6 years from primary school to junior high school, I think it is unlikely that high school will suddenly reverse. , not qualified to worry about these things. At present, several things are still unclear. If it is true, it is fair to say that this is a win-win situation for parents and schools. In fact, if there are separate minority language classes, most schools don't have minority language teachers, and they have to pay for teachers. However, if the school directly forces the placement according to the entrance English scores, there is no choice at all, and it is another skin that has been pulled.
1. The Ministry of Minority Languages Education never mentioned that the difficulty of the college entrance examination was "reduced by 5~ 10%" (at least I didn't find it after looking for it for a long time). It is only because small languages have increased the number of students with dozens of foreign languages to more than 1 10 that this judgment is given, but no authoritative organization has actually counted how many people have successfully made this conversion. There are only four majors restricted by the policy: national defense, military affairs, public security and foreign languages and literature. Other majors need to indicate the language of foreign language training, but they are not allowed to apply (so many universities will carefully write some professional small languages)
A group of people gave me an example of translation software. I don't think there is anything to argue about this. I don't mind if you have to prove that you can program without learning English. I just suggest not to sign up, because it is really difficult. Whether I say it or not is my business. Whether you believe it or not is your business. I'm just saying what I saw. Moreover, the purpose of this thing is to prove that the professional language modification in high school is very harmful, not to prove that programming needs to learn English.
3. "Most people in universities don't engage in scientific research." Graduation Design A is an academic paper, and all college students should take part in scientific research. "Band 4 is easy to achieve"-certainly not including Russian students in high school. Basically, you have to be a junior to get the CET-4 certificate, because CET-4 requires a lot of listening. The Russian students I met had horribly low listening scores on the first test. "Knowing that it is unacceptable, you can't raise your salary 1 penny". When it really rises to 1 penny, I will probably forget that I have never denied employment in small languages, but only if students are also majoring in small languages in universities. Unfortunately, most foreign languages and literature in colleges and universities require English or their own professional language as the language of foreign language examination, and English candidates still have a large choice.
It is extremely unfavorable for students to pursue further studies in universities in the future, and it is a typical short-sighted behavior for the sake of enrollment rate. First, let's make a statement. There has always been a saying that the college entrance examination in small languages is less difficult than English, which is absolutely denied by the education department. As far as my high school classmates who took the minority language test are concerned, the difficulty of the minority language test is definitely not low, but it may be because the number of students is small and the teaching resources are average and slightly more, so they have an advantage. So, why is it extremely unfavorable?
Let's talk about papers first: In other words, if you know Russian, you can only read the periodical papers of Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Belarus and other former Soviet member countries, but scholars from these former Soviet member countries will also publish papers in English periodicals. Students who know English can not only read periodical papers from English-speaking countries such as Britain and America (which are also the main sources of international periodicals), but also read English papers written by these Russian scholars.
Scholars in Britain and America, and scholars from most other countries, publish international journals only in English, except in their own countries. As a result, "graduation thesis reference difficulty" appeared. Most colleges and universities require students to quote a certain number of foreign documents as part of their student papers. First-class colleges and universities will also require them to be part of well-known journals. How many high-quality periodicals are there in Russian and how many high-quality periodicals are there in English? Think about it.
2. Data collection: The websites of official institutions in almost all countries, in addition to their own languages, will of course have English if they are equipped with foreign languages. A few countries will add other languages out of consideration for their major trade or population partners, which makes students who only know Russian can only read the official materials of Russian countries, while students who know English can read the official materials of almost all countries in the world. More interestingly, the two common data sources in the Department of Economics and Management when studying Russia-the Russian National Bureau of Statistics and the Russian Central Bank-have their own official beautiful English pages for researchers and people in other countries to inquire about. In other words, Russian students do not have much advantage over British students in learning Russia. Their potential advantage is that they can better understand Russia in culture, but it is useless to science, business and medicine departments, only useful to literature departments.
If it is true, it is fair to say that this is a win-win situation for parents and schools. In fact, if there are separate minority language classes, most schools don't have minority language teachers, and they have to pay for teachers. However, if the school directly forces the placement according to the entrance English scores, there is no choice at all, and it is another skin that has been pulled.
