关键词:英语专业学习问题就业问题
随着我国改革开放的进一步开展,中外交流的不断深入,越来越多的人加入到英语学习的行列,而在大学阶段的学习中,非英语专业学生对英语学习的重视和及其英语能力的不断提高,使得英语专业学生的专业优越性降低,英语相关专业的就业竞争也愈发激烈,就业形势愈加严重。

而在当代英语广泛普及的大环境下,不同层次的高校,不同的地区与不同的学习者个人都需要对英语的学习与就业方向有更加明确的认识与策略,结合自身特点对自身学习策略和习惯做出调整,提高个人竞争能力和个人水平。

1.英语专业学生学习与就业问题调查
1.1研究内容:
本文在利用文献查阅法、数据资料法和问卷调查法的基础上,对英语专业学生的学习与就业在以下几个方面展开:“不同学校的学生就业”“不同地区的学生就业”“英语专业学生课程的设置”“个人能力”等四个方面。

1.2研究方法
(1)文献查阅法。

收集、整理了不同高校和不同城市学校英语专业学生毕业生的就业意愿和情况信息与资料,并结合查阅了其在校的课程设置。

(2)数据资料法。

数据资料为不同地区(含大城市和中小城市)市场对英语专业学生素质的要求与需求。

(3)问卷调查法。

调查问卷着重调查英语专业学生对自身能力、就业前景的认识;对学校课程设置的理解和自我规划的咨询和了解。

1.3调查对象
参与调查的学生共计285人,针对该调查选取了包括不同地区(大城市和相对中小城市)的985、211大学、一般本科学校和专科院校的大三、大四学生。

通过大学同学与支持研究的老师寄发,学生个人寄回写好的问卷。

2.调查结果
(1)对于学生就业情况,英语专业学生认为与自己的学校、学历有关,学历越高,就业机会越大;而个人能力也是重要因素。

就从事职业来说,6.4%学生会选择出国深造,而其余大部分学生会选择直接就业,而对于事业和企业单位,68.4%的普通本科院校英语专业学生认为985、211高校学生在职业选择上拥有更多的优势和机会,而对于同一个就业机会,985、211高校学生会更可能的获得机会;而56%的985、211高校学生则抱怨不好就业专业不对口,称在学历相差不多的情况下,求职单位更看重个人能力,其机会和普通高校学生相差不大。

(2)不同地区英语专业学生就业情况不同,更多的学生愿意去东南沿海发达地区就业。

就大城市来说,更高的发展水平与人才的需求成正比,经济的高速发展也意味着更多的就业机会,能为个人发展提供较大空间和较高待遇的苏南及沿海发达地区的就业形势大好,而经济较为落后地区如苏北及西北边远地区就业渠道较窄,60.4%的英语专业学生选择去沿海经济发达地区工作,其次是自己较为熟悉的就读地或家乡,愿意去苏北地区或西部地区的人数不到总人数的10%。

(3)学校针对英语专业学生的课程设置对学生吸引度不高,学生更愿意学习与实践和就业相关的专业知识。

通过查阅资料与文献,各高校针对不同阶段的英语的学习有着大致相同的教学策略,对于大一新生,学校设置的课程主要关于思想道德建设,哲学和心理学课程,其目的是让学生更快的适应大学的教育实质与学习方法,但71.6%的学生表示这类课程对学习本专业知识无用,平常上课就玩手机消磨时间,对于考试也仅仅是应付了事;而在三年级时,学生逐渐掌握了一定的学习方法,在课程学习与选择上则应该更倾向于激发学生的创造力和主观能动性的课程,多参加社会实践活动,让学生自己去锻炼实践能力,但是仍有64.3%的学生称存在一些课程与自身专业知识无关,而学生自身也不敢兴趣。

另外,英语教育与我国经济建设的第三产业发展最为密切,尤其对于服务业上的涉及,学校需要在英语教学上与经济发展接轨,努力培养学生服务行业的意识和能力。

(4)英语专业学生认为个人能力在面对就业是最有力的武器。

面对严峻的就业环境和就业压力,94.6%的学生都认为个人能力是面对就业时最有力的竞争优势,而对自己帮助最大的就业渠道中74.8%的学生认为需要靠自己的努力。

3.针对英语专业学生学习与就业问题进行分析并提出建议:
3.1分析英语专业学生就业的优劣势
英语专业的学生通过四年专业的语言学习,在听说读写译等方面有着良好的基础。

能更清楚地认识东西文化的差异,因此在说辞达意的过程中不容易产生误解。

大多掌握一门以上的外语,且拥有更强的可塑性,有着良好的语言表达能力,特别在应聘外企时,其更了解英美国家的文化,善于发挥其优势;但是英语专业学生其他专业知识相对缺乏,所能处理的事情相对有限,其实践能力也较弱且更容易受到证书的限制如英语专业八级较低的通过率,在社会上不得不承受更大的压力。

3.2学校对学生就业问题的重视
对学校而言,应适当优化课程设置,加强其课程与其他专业的联系,降低其专业就业的限制性,了解自身特点和个人优劣势;给学生创造更多的机会来培养其职业技能,通过更多的实习实践课程使同学们更好的熟悉社会,使其发挥主观能动性,自己去提高实践能力;针对学生就业中的不足,创造更多提升英语综合素质能力的机会;并对其开设人生职业规划课程。

3.3提出必要的学生自身的就业自我规划
在当前的经济大环境下,学生应该对自己就业观念有一定改变,调整就业期望值与实际情况接轨;学生个人应该注意学习好专业知识、强化自身优势,提高专业素养和个人能力,使其更符合市场的要求;积极参加社会实践活动,将自身专业劣势转化为就业优势,在不断的适应社会中努力提升自己的社会价值。

以上是对关于在当代英语广泛普及的大环境下,英语专业学生就学习与就业问题这一课题的实行调查和研究,通过文献查阅法、数据资料法和问卷调查法的途径,从“不同学校的学生就业”“不同地区的学生就业”“英语专业学生课程的设置”“个人能力”四个方面来说明英语专业学生学习与就业问题并对出现的问题进行分析从而提出建议。

由于中国融入全球经济一体化步伐的加快,国家对外语类人才的需求逐年攀升,特别是作为世界通用的语言英语的需求更加迫切,为了更好的提高自身能力以适应社会,实现更好的就业,我们必须对自身专业素养和自身素质有清醒的认识,对当前的就业形势与方向有明确的了解,审慎认识自我。

我们应全面提高就业能力和学习技巧,争取早日实现人生价值,回报社会。

英语专业的就业分析

英语专业的就业分析

又到了一年毕业的季节,看着学长们带着不舍和希冀纷纷离开校园,我们默默从心底送上对他们无限的祝愿,祝愿他们能够早日融入社会。

而对于我们即将跨入大四的学生,很有必要分析一下以后我们的就业形势,以便能够现在就开始着手准备,以及早适应复杂多变的人才市场。

我是一名英语专业的学生,下面就将对我们一年后我们的就业发表几点自己的看法。

英语专业曾经是一个很热门的专业,但近年来,受扩招、市场需求及专业本身局限等因素的影响,近年来高校英语专业大学生的就业形势变得目益严峻。

一、当前英语专业大学生就业状况首先大环境下,随着高等教育由精英教育向大众化教育的转变,大学毕业生的数量已大大增加,大学生就业难已经成为一个普遍的社会问题。

而近年来随着各高校及学生本人对英语学习越来越重视,毕业生的英语水平普遍显著提高。

曾经炙手可热的英语专业,近几年来也出现了供大于求、竞争加剧的形势。

对于知识结构和就业面都相对单一的英语专业学生来说,一职难求已是不争的事实。

另一方面,人才市场对复合型英语人才的需求正不断增加。

高等学校《英语教学大纲》明确指出:我国每年仅需要少量外语与文学、外语与语言相结合的专业人才以从事外国文学和语言学的教学和研究工作,而大量需要的则是外语与其他有关学科,如外贸、外交、经济、法律、新闻等相结合的复合型人才。

培养这种复合型的外语专业人才是社会主义市场经济对外语专业教育提出的要求,也是新时代的需求。

由此可以看出,社会对英语人才的需求已呈多元化趋势,市场对单纯语言文字专业的毕业生的需求量正在逐步减少,而大量的既懂专业知识、又能熟练使用英语的高端复合型人才备受市场青睐。

二、英语专业就业遇冷原因分析社会原因:高校扩招及社会过度关注的后果。

如今我国各类高校几乎都设置了英语专业。

而且随着高校扩招政策的实施,英语专业的扩招数量一直排在所有专业的前列,故而使英语人才的供给量迅速增加,供大于求的矛盾日益突出,这是造成英语专业人才就业遇冷的主要原因。

英语专业毕业生就业问题研究

英语专业毕业生就业问题研究

英语专业毕业生就业问题研究摘要:通过对英语专业毕业生就业情况和目前我国现有课程的制约条件的了解与分析,阐明了我国的课程设置需要进一步的改善。

调查显示,传统英语专业人才培养计划所培养的学生,由于只具备单一的英语技能,已经不能满足用人单位的需要。

由于经济全球化的影响,自我国加入WTO以来,中外合资、外商独资等外向型经济企业不断涌现,对具有较强的外语交际能力,掌握一般商务外贸运作指示、熟悉计算机等现代化办公设备的商务英语人才需求尤为迫切。

因此,对于英语专业的课程设置应进行进一步的改善,着重培养具有较全面的商务基础知识和实际运用英语语言能力的精英语、懂经贸、能够使用多种现代化办公设备的“专门用途英语”人才,进而开设更多与商务知识相关的课程。

关键词:商务;课程;现代化;英语IntroductionWith the accession of China to WTO, the number of enterprises engaged in foreign trade increases a lot, which will inevitably result in the lack of international trade and business professionals, especially those with solid English language skills, proficiency in communication skills, but also familiar with international trade knowledge and the norms. Nowadays, the enterprises which have the right to operate import and export business are about 36 000 in China. But people who obtain qualification certificates of business are less than 10 million, most important of which is that too few people understand the business English. In general the companies engaged in foreign trade business should have several or even hundreds of people to understand the business English of foreign trade. This shows that there is a large gap in the need of professionals on business English.At present, there are about 1,500 people engaged in the import and export of the foreign trade in many foreign trade enterprises as full-time staff .The foreign trade business enterprises which have a number of large volumes may be equipped with import and export companies, but they are lack of the real persons of ability. It is extremely disproportionate between that and the booming of the economy of the foreign trade. A lack of qualified professionals will seriously affect the rapid and sustainable development of the foreign trade. English majors still have a golden futurein the development of the society. Therefore, it is imperative to the course setting for English Major.Curriculum is the case with the development of the community. It becomes a reflection of political and economic request of the society and subject to a certain social productivity and the level of the development of science and culture, as well as the development of the students 'minds. With the socio-economic development and the improvement of scientific and cultural level, the existing courses show that there are still many limitations in the course setting in China. The investigations on English graduates' occupation reveals that the existing system of university education in the professional course settings, the level of training, the contents of teaching and the market need shows the phenomena of disjointing. And the college students who are lack of vocational skills do not suit for the needs of modern business. The curriculum of the traditional English Major basically includes the plates of language and literature. With the development of the economy of China, the knowledge structures of the two parts clearly do not meet the current development of the situation. In addition, the existing talent, due to the training of students with a single English language skill, is no longer able to meet the needs of the employer so that the need of the English graduates to the professionals’ market is decreasing day by day. In order to meet the demand for social development, the English curriculum should be adjusted according to the situations of the employment of English Major. As a result, the mode of cultivation of English talents must turn into the mode of cultivation of compound talents.I. The Situations of the Employment of English Majors at Present1.1 The Summary of the Circumstances of the Employment of English MajorsRecently the Ministry of Education announced that the survey on the situation of the enrollment of general undergraduate, in-school, graduate shows that the enrollment of English majors increases by a big margin. 87808 undergraduate students enrolled in 2006 and 102,388 people in 2007. The major of English ranked No. 1 in all professions. The number of graduates in 2007 is 53466. With the size of the enrollment of college, it is not difficult to infer the number of graduates in 2009which will continue to climb. If the various types of language graduates included in the statistics, the number would far exceed that amount.Some experts have analyzed, from the beginning of 1999 college enrollment, as well as to speed up the process of globalization in recent years, frequent international exchanges have created the overheating scene of English Majors objectively. But stubbornly ignoring the absorption capacity of the market and the actual demand, it eventually will lead to the foam phenomenon of the consumption of the English talents.It can be said that at present the development of the whole society has undergone great changes. English has become a tool and more and more people can use it freely and proficiently. The standard of early government officials or corporate executives’ English was not very good, so the need for special translators to help in the translation occurred within a period of time of shortage. With the opening of China and the increasing popularity of the education of English, the awareness of learning English has been raising and the environment of learning English is also improving. Many entrepreneurs or managers have the skills and no longer need the person who has special English language skills to help him. So the number of English graduates who purely study English is greatly reduced. At the same time, the non-English major students, in the continuous improvement of standard of English have also created a strong competitor to the English majors, so English majors will face even greater pressure.1.2 The Problems Which English Majors Are Facing1.2.1 The Intensive Competition among the GraduatesWith the enrollment of the colleges of China year after year, foreign language faculty set up in a rapid speed so that the number of the graduates of English majors surges in recent years. It is no exaggeration to say that any one of our colleges and universities have opened English majors. The expansion of the enrollment of the English Master, doctoral student in these years, combined with the factors such as the returning of the overseas students, makes our English major graduates face more intensive competition for jobs. Also, the gap between English graduates and non-English major graduates is narrowing in the level of Basic English, and even someoutstanding graduates of non-English are more proficient than the graduates of English majors.1.2.2 The Unsuited Course SettingAll along, the English training model of professional education in China can not meet the development of the modern education. The graduates of the traditional English majors do not understand professional knowledge, and lack of the cultural background and cross-cultural communicative competence. It results from the blindness of the course setting in the colleges and universities of China. English, as a language, is a tool for people to communicate with each other and now it becomes a skill rather than a flesh and blood culture as a whole. The colleges and universities just set up the theoretical courses and some practical courses which have little effects. In addition, they have no clear and definite objective about the course setting. No matter what courses the other colleges and universities have set up for the English Major, they imitate them and also are regardless of the real situations of what the market needs and what kind of talents the English Major aims to cultivate. There has been many improper aspects in the course setting. The curriculum of the traditional English Major basically includes the plates of language and literature. If the graduate wants to be a teacher, it would be a better course setting. but not all graduates want to be a teacher, so there has been a problem in the course setting. Although some colleges and universities have realized it, they have no definite method to resolve it. What they have done is add some business courses to the curriculum, but it seems to have no successful effect on it. The reason is that they don’t consider the business courses as specialized courses. Thus, the English majors just learn little knowledge about business, which lead to the lack of the qualifications for the business vocations and less competence than other majors in he intensive competitions for jobs and less competition for jobs in business.II. The Foreground of the Employment of English Majors2.1 The Conditions of the Market Needs to English MajorsWith the accession of China to the WTO, many foreign companies seek the opportunities of development in China, while Chinese enterprises are welcomed to theopportunity of melting into the world and the field of foreign trade gains considerable commercial development. In this environment, corporate communication and exchanges among the corporations have become an important condition for their cooperation.At the same time, with the deepening of the reform of the foreign trade system of China, the qualification of export management have started to implement the system of registration and approval, which will enable more enterprises enjoy autonomy. From the current export volume of the foreign trade in China, the companies with the right of foreign trade and export will build on the current increased by 18 000 within the next five years, then China will have 360,000 or more companies with the right to import and export. According to the estimation of the right of the average proportion of people owned by the current import-export company, China needs at least 1.8 million of foreign talents for business services, of which the demand for business English language skills accounted for a large proportion. It is predicted that in the next 10 years, English classes in personnel, especially the professional talent of business English majors is the most popular one of 10 categories of hot talents.The rapid development of foreign economy has not only brought us opportunities also brought challenges. Relevant information predicts that since the accession of China to the WTO, the biggest impact on auto industry is not the manufacturing sector, but education, especially vocational and technical education. The number of enterprises engaged in foreign trade increases a lot and it will inevitably result in the lack of international trade and business professionals, especially those with solid English language skills who are not only proficient in language skills and communication skills, but also familiar with international trade knowledge and the norms. At present, our country has too few people understand the business English .Many employers want to choose those applicants with professional skills who can do business and conclude contracts. This shows that there is a large gap in the need of professionals of business English. The people with English language skills have good prospects.An investigation (made by the Department of the national Business English Teaching and Research of Hunan Vocational College of Foreign Languages) indicated that the enterprises request the quality of the talents should be higher than their education and the request of the title of the job. The talents should have the followingspecialized abilities: 1) They should expand their specialized knowledge further and must have certain basic specialized knowledge about marketing, the management of the information resource and the office automation, etc. 2) They can introduce the newest tendency about the development of commercial English and the new method of the foreign trade service. 3) They must strengthen the ability of computer application and the oral English. 4) They should cultivate the ability to utilize the theories, the ability to analyze and solve the problems, the ability to operate the concrete services. 5) They should increase the knowledge of the aspect of management and strengthen the education about the knowledge of the aspect of market. 6) They should strengthen the ability of writing and expression. 7) They should approve the culture and the values of the enterprises. However, to the request of the basic specialized quality, the abilities should be sorted according to the importance of the demand: a) the learning capability of the digestion and absorption of the specialized knowledge, b) the ability of the development of the market introduction, c) the style of conscientious work, the spirit of profession and combat, and team spirit, d) the ability of coordination and cooperation, e) the ability of the application of foreign languages and international communication, f)the skills of commercial negotiations g) the ability of the interpersonal communication and the coordination, h)the ability of the adaptation to the environment.2.2 The Qualifications Which English Majors Should Have for the Market NeedsA result of economic globalization and the accession of China to WTO, the joint ventures, the wholly foreign-owned enterprises and other export-oriented economy continue to emerge in a rapid speed. What professionals the employers need is not person who can chat with the foreigners but the person who can deal with business and have much business skills. Therefore, the graduates should have more and more qualifications to meet the needs of the market. It is important for the graduates to have a proficient skill of communication of a foreign language, to master the general business of foreign trade operations, to become familiar with computers and other modern office equipment. Business English language skills is particularly true in pressing. The graduates who have a more comprehensive foundation of businessknowledge and practical use of English language are well versed in economic and trades have a very broad employment prospects.III. The Factors Which Should Be Paid Attention to in the Course Setting3.1 The Limitations of the Courses Now AvailableAt present the development of the whole society has undergone great changes. English has become a tool and more and more people can apply it freely .With thee openness of China and the increasing popularity of the education of English, the awareness of learning English is raising and the environment of learning English is also improving. Many entrepreneurs or managers have the skills and no longer need the person who has special English language skills to help him. So the number of English graduates who purely study English is greatly reduced. At the same time, the non-English major students, in the continuous improvement of standard of English have also created a strong competitor to the English majors, so English majors will face even greater pressure.With the social-economic development and the improvement of scientific and cultural level, the existing courses in China show that there are still many limitations in the course setting. The curriculum of the traditional English Major basically includes the plates of language and literature. With the development of the economy of China, the knowledge structures of the two parts clearly do not meet the current development of the situation. In addition, the existing talent, due to the training of students with a single English language skill, is no longer able to meet the needs of the employer so that the need of the English graduates to the professionals’ market is decreasing day by day. The graduates of the traditional English Major no longer meet the needs of the employer due to the single English skills they have owned. In order to meet the demand for social development, the course setting of English major should be adjusted according to the situations of the employment of English Major.3.2 The Factors and Steps of the Course SettingThe courses now available are based on the design of the existing disciplinarysystem, while the disciplinary system of course is difficult to realize the needs of modern education. Therefore, to successfully build a new curriculum system, we should take into account social needs, knowledge system and personality development. Among these three external factors, the social needs are a prerequisite of the course setting and play a dominant feature in the course design. As the goal of vocational education to foster high-skilled and application-oriented talents, social needs occupies an important position in curriculum design. Knowledge system is the basis for the course setting and plays a supporting function. The knowledge system includes not only the system of the traditional theoretical knowledge-based discipline, but also the modern system of experience-based action. The course setting should be mainly given to the latter. Personality development is a linkage of curriculum design and plays a core function in the course setting. As the main targets of vocational education is the characteristics of thinking in images, the combination of personality development and career situations is particularly close, and the practice of teaching closely related with professional activities account for a large proportion in vocational education. Therefore, during the process of the course setting we should leave more room for students to develop their personality.In full consideration of various factors, the concrete implementation of curriculum design, including the following several steps: first, the actual analysis of the typical tasks; second, the integration of the induction of the typical tasks; third, a systematic process of dealing with professional work; fourth, the design of vocational-based curriculum. Through the above steps, the course setting can achieve the professional design, career-oriented design, work design, concrete process design, and specific and scientific design. Taking the Marketing as an example, it is a professional course and plays an important role in the current business. It bases on marketing and English is the supplement for marketing. They are complementary for each other and make the course setting for English Major more proper and suitable for the English majors.IV. The Tips on the Course Setting Based on the Investigation of the Employment of English Majors4.1The Teaching Model of Assignment of Language TeachingTask-based Approach is a language teaching approach brought forward by a great number of studying and practice since 1980.It has many definitions, but Long put forward, “A task is a piece of work undertaken for oneself or for others, freely or for some reward. Thus, examples of task include painting a fence…In other words, by ‘task’ is meant the hundred and one things people do in everyday life, at work, at play and in between.” From what Long has defined, the mission is that people is hit by what be composed all things or all activities being engaged in the daily life. Numan calls the Long mission "the target mission ". This kind of mission is the target that the students who study language should reach. Besides, he also thinks that it has "the education mission”, the activity in the classroom. These activities come from the true world but are unlike the true world mission. But these missions can make a student develop linguistic competence in the classroom in order to reach the mission applying language to accomplish the true world ultimately.In the implementation of the task-based approach, the teacher guides the students to adjust the way of study, and improves the students’ ability of studying in cooperation. The teacher applies the diversity of the teaching method and lively teaching to encourage the student to think deeply , imagine courageously , participate in on their own initiative ,and get to work practice. The students, who cultivate enterprising spirit and carry out the ability of practice and the development of the tactics of study, make them have the ability to study the whole life. Therefore, the design of the mission should be beneficial to developing the ability of the students, to teacher and student's interactive flexible studies in cooperation with the group. The tactics of study sometimes decides the mission of study. The mission that the teacher designs should swear to have sufficient information blank space area or information difference. And it must accomplish a mission by the fact that the teacher and the students should cooperate with each other to gain information, and develop the ability to think, innovate and cooperate in the duration of study.4.2 The Inspirations of the Employment of Language Teaching4.2.1 The Reinforcement of the Basic Theory Courses and the Increase of Practical CoursesIn the current rapid development of science and technology and in an era of labor positions to accelerate it is almost impossible for the students to grasp the whole ofmodern scientific knowledge in a short period. Only by grasping the basic theory of knowledge can improve the adaptability, because all the basic theoretical knowledge is the most stable and lasting part, but also is the base of learning all the professional knowledge. Only to lay a solid foundation of theoretical knowledge can contribute to other knowledge. British Robbins Commission on Higher Education believes that we should give students "a more general education," so that they can increasingly survive in the competitive world. The "more general education" refers to the basis of theoretical knowledge. Today, knowledge-based economy in China has begun to take shape. In order to adapt to the requirements of the knowledge-based economy to the skilled personnel training, we must strengthen basic theoretical knowledge. Take the Macau Sino-Portuguese vocational schools as an example, the content of general education (basic theoretical knowledge) share hours of courses but required courses was relatively small. This curriculum not only enables students to grasp a solid foundation of theoretical knowledge in order to lay a solid foundation for the future to accept a higher level of education, but also provides favorable conditions for students entering the labor market.Vocational education has direct relations with productive labor. The task of vocational education is to cultivate the skilled personnel with an innovative spirit and practical ability and to develop science and technology. However, due to various reasons, the vocational education system in practical courses arranged not too much. Therefore, the course setting should increase practical courses in a modest to develop student’s practical ability in the future.4.2.2The Importance of Required CoursesAlthough the curriculum should be improved further, the required courses of English Major still very important, and cannot be replaced. The main courses of English Majors are as follows: Introduction to Linguistics, English Audio-Visual, English Literature, American Literature, English Translation, Lexicology, Advanced English, English Interpretation, and Writing English Papers etc.These required courses aim to train students with more skilled abilities of listening, speaking, reading, writing and translation. From these courses, the students can have a good understanding of Anglo-American countries such as the social and cultural conditions and have good Chinese language. After graduated from college,they are able to engage in English language teaching, or the use of English for foreign exchange to adapt to the economic needs of the market to the English professionals. The ideal situation is that the graduates can be able to use English proficiently to take part in the international business-related communication activities. Especially they can be engaged in translation (including translation and interpretation) to deal with foreign affairs in the joint ventures, wholly foreign-owned enterprises, hotels, foreign-related institutions, and other units.4.2.3The Addition of Elective CoursesThe openness of wide variety of elective courses has become the trend of the developed countries in the development of vocational education curriculum reform. Elective courses make the teaching work more flexible in universities. Students can learn according to their own standards and preferences of elective courses suited to their needs. It not only can enhance the learning preferences and confidence, develop their individual strengths and talents to expand the students’ knowledge, but also can mobilize the enthusiasm of teachers. At present, the colleges and universities in China have set up a certain amount of elective courses, but the proportion is too small. Some elective courses are unrealistic and do not meet the needs of the labor market for talent. It can not mobilize the enthusiasm and initiative of the students and teachers. In the future of the colleges and universities of China, the course setting should be based on actual conditions to gradually increase the proportion of elective courses, promising that the students have a greater degree of freedom to select the courses. According to the local economic characteristics, such as additional local economic development are conducive to the course as electives. What is worthy of our attention is that in strengthening the basic theory courses and increasing the practical courses and additional elective courses, we must also grasp the basic courses and specialized courses, theoretical courses and practical courses, required courses and elective courses in proper proportion, handling several those relationships.4.2.4 The Cooperation between Universities and EnterprisesIt is insignificant for the vocational schools to cooperate with the enterprises in China. School-trained students often do not fit to the requirements, which lead to aserious waste of educational resources. It is the important way of reforming the vocational education curriculum to improve university-industry cooperation system and strengthen the linkages between school and business. In the school patterns, the vocational schools rely mainly on the government to help, which not only increase the burden on state revenue, but also led to the collapse of the development of many potential vocational schools for the lack of funds. Therefore, we must fully mobilize the forces of business and the participation of society to take the initiative in education in order to promote the development of vocational education in the effective use of market mechanisms. So it is very important for the cooperation between universities and enterprises.The cooperation between universities and businesses has many advantages. First, it can be used to promote the destination of learning for students, because students know what to do in the future. Second, it helps the graduates know where they can go; thereby it also can reduce the pressure of school and society. Third, it can resolve insufficient funds of education for the universities and reduce the financial burden. Fourth, it can promote industrial and commercial institutions to know their personnel status. Last, it can promote continuous improvement of the course settings of the professional schools.In the course setting, professional development of the course is organized primarily by education experts, but business people never take part in the process. Therefore, the developed courses are obsolete and deviate from the actual production of enterprises so that it can not meet the demand for talent in the talent market. As a result, the universities must change the development of our curriculum and professional positions should be required as the foundation for development. The new course setting should be developed from the representatives of business community, educators and curriculum experts to complete. So the course setting can meet the requirements of enterprises and society.4.3 The Course Setting of English Major According to the Needs of the Market4.3.1 The Direction of International Trade Practice DirectionTraining Objectives: The professional orientation of business English training is。

高校盲目扩招、高校英语专业建设上的不成熟、高校英语教学模式陈旧及高校英语专业毕业生择业观上的偏差等是造成目前高校英语专业毕业生就业难的主要原因。

要改变这种状况,高校必须确立起与学生的就业相适应的办学理念,必须进一步完善自己的人才培养的方案,必须优化课程设置,必须为学生构建起专业演练的平台,必须建设一支高素质的教师队伍。

关键词:英语专业;毕业学生;就业难;对策如何实现英语专业毕业生的充分就业目前已成为高校所面临的一个重要问题。

为了提升高校英语专业学生的综合素质,改变当前高校英语专业毕业生就业的被动局面,高校必须根据英语专业的特点,紧跟时代发展的步伐,积极推动英语专业教学改革,重点培养学生理论联系实际的能力,从而也提升学生的就业能力。

一、目前高校英语专业毕业生就业形势严峻1.高校英语专业毕业生就业前景由“热”转向“冷”根据人力资源和社会保障部的统计,从2000年到2009年,高校英语专业毕业生就业率排名一直居各专业前10位。

特别是伴随2001年中国加入世界贸易组织和2008年北京奥运会的成功举办,英语专业毕业生的就业前景持续看好。

但是,从2010年开始,英语专业毕业生连续三年居高校毕业生失业率排行榜的榜首,英语专业还被划定为就业率持续走低、失业量较大且薪酬较低的高失业风险专业[1]。

这意味着,高校英语专业毕业学生的就业前景已经由“热”变“凉”,甚至遇“冷”。

2.高校英语专业毕业生就业门槛由“初级”转向“高端”据相关调查显示,当前就业市场需要的是精通专业技能、能适应社会需求的高端人才。

比如,翻译专业中的“同声传译”就要求从业者的英语听说能力要强,英汉两种语言的语音、语感、语调要好,对母语为非英语的发言者的口音也要了解,对政治、金融、制造、环保、文化、哲学等领域要通晓,同时要反应迅速,思维敏捷。

因此,该领域已被列为最需人才和含金量最高的领域。

浅析英语专业学生就业现状及对策

浅析英语专业学生就业现状及对策

浅析英语专业学生就业现状及对策作者:李晓君来源:《学习周报·教与学》2020年第21期摘要:随着中国高等教育的普及,社会对人才的要求越来越严格,就业形势日益严峻,高校毕业生面临着较大的就业压力,学生就业率也不容乐观。

本文将浅析高校英语专业毕业生的就业现状,就提高英语专业学生就业率提出一些对策。

关键词:英语专业学生;就业现状;因素;对策一、英语专业学生就业现状随着中国社会化进程的推进和高等教育的普及化,每年毕业季来临庞大的毕业生数据表明着就业市场即将注入一批新鲜血液,大学生就业压力只增不减。

而英语语言在全社会的广泛应用,英语专业显然不再是受到众多学生追捧的专业和多数公司企业更加青睐的员工,就业难的喊声在英语专业学生中也日渐高涨。

根据调查发现,应用型本科院校英语专业毕业生进入中小规模民营企业人数偏多,而进入发展空间更大、知名度更高的外企和国企人数则很少,就业情况不够理想,就业质量有待提高0。

英语专业毕业生的就业选择主要是英语教师、兼职老师、翻译、跨国公司。

在就业市场众多的就业者中面试官会更注重选择综合应用型员工,英语语言能力应用成为一门加分项,真正走向英语就业道路的人精通英语这门语言专业,才是在英语行业中被优先选择的对象;再加上符合公司理想要求的员工是一个人能胜任几个人的工作,对毕业生而言就业机会更少了。

二、英语专业学生就业难的因素(一)社会对毕业生的包容性弱社会经济的快速发展需要输入高质量的人才,社会对就业者的能力要求越来越高。

随着人工智能和网络信息技术时代的到来,就业市场不再是过去那个需要廉价劳动力的单一市场,信息技术人才市场日益扩大,就业岗位竞争加剧。

公司或企业跟随国际科学技术发展的潮流注资投入市场中有发展前景的信息技术领域,支持和青睐这方面的人才,对其他专业人才给予的机会少;社会经济增长速度快,人民的生活水平有了质的提高以及高等素质教育的普及,表明了市场需要的就业者是跟得上时代发展速度且综合能力较强的素质人才。

面对如此严峻的就业形势,高校英语师范生需要认真思考自身的发展方向,并采取有效的措施来提升自身竞争力,才能在激烈的就业市场中脱颖而出。

1.2 为什么高校英语师范生面临就业困境高校英语师范生面临就业困境的原因有很多,首先是学历门槛的提高。

随着社会的发展,许多职位对于申请者的学历要求越来越高,而部分高校英语师范生可能在学历层面无法满足用人单位的要求,导致就业竞争变得更加激烈。

其次是竞争压力的增大。

随着高校英语专业人才的不断增加,就业市场上的竞争也相应加剧,许多优质岗位难以脱颖而出,导致许多英语师范生面临就业压力。

工作经验匮乏也是导致高校英语师范生就业困境的一个重要原因。

许多用人单位更倾向于招聘有工作经验的应届毕业生,因为他们相对更加成熟、稳重,能够更快地融入工作环境。

专业技能匹配度不高也是造成就业困境的因素之一。

部分高校英语师范生在实际工作中可能会发现自己的专业技能并不完全符合用人单位的需求,导致就业困难。

高校英语师范生面临就业困境的原因是多方面的,需要通过提升自身综合素质和专业技能来更好地适应就业市场的需求。

在理工类院校中,英语专业的学习与就业关系紧密。

本文以中国地质大学(北京)为例,对该院英语专业学生的就业情况进行分析,并给出相应的建议。

一、英语专业学生就业现状1.1 基本情况中国地质大学(北京)的英语专业学生在就业市场上整体就业竞争压力较大。

就业率普遍维持在70%左右,但大多数毕业生就业岗位与专业不对口。

1.2 就业地区分布毕业生主要集中在一线和二线城市就业,如北京、上海、广州等。

这些城市相对于其他地区,提供了更多的工作机会和薪资待遇。

1.3 就业行业分布就业行业主要分布在外贸、教育、翻译、新闻媒体、旅游等领域。

其中,外贸行业对英语专业学生需求最大,但近几年就业形势不容乐观。

二、就业问题分析2.1 就业岗位与专业不对口英语专业的学生在校期间主要学习英语文化、语言,但缺乏针对具体职业的实践能力。

这导致了不少毕业生在就业市场上不能找到与专业对口的工作。

2.2 就业形势不稳定随着社会发展的推动,一些外贸行业的岗位已经转移到其他发展中国家,加上外语人才市场竞争激烈,使得英语专业学生就业形势不稳定。

2.3 缺乏实践经验学生在校期间注重英语理论知识的学习,但很少有机会实践。

企业招聘时往往更看重学生的实践经验,这对英语专业学生造成了一定的就业困难。

三、就业建议3.1 增强实践能力学校应加强英语专业课程的实践性教学,提供更多实践机会,例如开设实习基地,与周边企事业单位合作开展实践项目,使学生能够更好地将所学应用于实际操作中。

3.2 提升综合素质英语专业学生不仅需要具备扎实的语言基础和专业知识,还需要具备一定的综合素质,如沟通能力、团队协作能力、创新能力等。

因此,在培养学生专业知识的同时,学校应注重提升学生的综合素质。

英语专业就业问题

英语专业就业问题在当今社会,英语专业的毕业生面临着一系列就业问题。

随着全球化的加速和英语教育的普及,英语专业人才的数量不断增加,竞争也日益激烈。

首先,英语专业的就业领域相对较为集中。

教育行业一直是英语专业毕业生的主要选择之一。

他们可以从事中小学英语教学工作,或者在各类培训机构中担任英语教师。

然而,教育行业的岗位数量有限,且对教师的资质和经验要求越来越高。

除了教育领域,翻译也是英语专业常见的就业方向,包括口译和笔译。

但专业翻译工作对语言能力和专业知识的要求极高,只有少数具备出色语言天赋和深厚知识积累的毕业生能够胜任。

其次,市场对于英语专业人才的需求正在发生变化。

单纯的语言能力已经难以满足企业的需求,他们更倾向于招聘具备跨文化交际能力、商务知识、特定行业知识等综合素质的人才。

例如,在国际贸易领域,不仅需要流利的英语交流能力,还需要了解贸易规则、市场动态和相关法律法规。

在金融行业,掌握金融术语和国际金融市场的知识同样重要。

这意味着英语专业的学生需要在学习语言的同时,积极拓展自己的知识面和技能,以适应市场的多元化需求。

再者,地区差异也对英语专业的就业产生影响。

在一线城市和沿海经济发达地区,由于对外贸易、外资企业较多,对英语专业人才的需求相对较大,就业机会也相对丰富。

然而,在一些内陆地区和经济相对不发达的地区,英语专业的就业岗位则相对较少,就业难度较大。

此外,英语专业毕业生自身的素质和能力也是影响就业的关键因素。

一些毕业生虽然通过了各种英语考试,取得了相关证书,但在实际应用中,口语表达不够流利,沟通能力不足,无法将所学知识有效地运用到工作中。

还有部分毕业生缺乏职业规划,对自己的职业定位不清晰,在求职过程中盲目跟风,导致就业不理想。

为了应对英语专业的就业问题,毕业生可以采取多种策略。

一方面,要努力提升自身的综合素质。

除了提高英语语言水平,还应学习相关的专业知识,如商务英语、金融英语、法律英语等,增加自己在就业市场上的竞争力。

英语专业学生的实习与就业研究

英语专业学生的实习与就业研究在当今全球化的时代背景下,英语作为一门国际通用语言,其重要性不言而喻。

对于英语专业的学生来说,实习与就业是他们在大学期间和毕业后必须面对的重要课题。

实习不仅能够帮助他们将所学的理论知识应用到实际工作中,还能让他们提前了解职场环境,积累工作经验,为未来的就业打下坚实的基础。

而就业则是他们实现自身价值,开启职业生涯的关键一步。

一、英语专业学生实习的重要性1、实践知识与技能实习为英语专业学生提供了一个将课堂所学知识转化为实际操作技能的平台。

在实习中,学生可以将语法、词汇、翻译等理论知识运用到实际的文件翻译、商务沟通、教学等工作中,从而加深对知识的理解和掌握。

2、了解职场文化不同的工作场所都有其独特的文化和规范。

通过实习,学生能够亲身体验职场文化,了解工作中的团队合作、沟通方式、职业礼仪等方面的要求,为今后顺利融入职场做好准备。

3、建立职业网络实习期间,学生有机会结识行业内的专业人士,包括同事、上司和合作伙伴。

这些人脉资源可能在未来的就业中提供宝贵的信息和推荐机会。

4、增强就业竞争力拥有实习经历的学生在求职时往往更具优势。

实习证明了他们具备一定的工作能力和适应能力,能够更快地适应新的工作环境和任务。

二、英语专业学生实习的途径和类型1、教育领域实习许多英语专业的学生选择到学校或培训机构进行实习,担任英语教师或助教。

在这个过程中,他们可以学习教学方法和技巧,了解学生的需求和特点,为未来从事教育工作积累经验。

2、翻译公司实习翻译是英语专业的一个重要就业方向。

在翻译公司实习,学生可以接触到各种类型的翻译项目,如商务文件、法律文书、科技文献等,提高翻译水平和专业素养。

3、跨国企业实习跨国公司通常对英语人才有较大需求。

学生在跨国企业的实习中,可以参与国际业务、市场营销、人力资源等方面的工作,提升商务英语能力和跨文化交流能力。

4、新闻媒体实习部分学生对英语新闻报道感兴趣,他们可以选择到报社、电视台或网络媒体的英语频道进行实习,锻炼英语写作和采访能力。

因此会有一部分的英语专业毕业生只能跳脱于专业之外寻找工作,这就使整个英语专业毕业生的就业质量不断的在下降。
