Recruiting colleges and universities should have a clear view of the characteristics of training
Chinese is one of the most traditional majors, and comprehensive and normal universities such as Peking University, Fudan University, Beijing Normal University, and Capital Normal University all have Chinese departments or liberal arts colleges. In recent years, many science and engineering colleges have also set up Chinese departments.
According to statistics, there are currently as many as 600 colleges and universities in China that offer majors in Chinese language and literature. Among these institutions, there are not only well-known universities, but also normal colleges and language colleges.
The major direction of undergraduate study in the Chinese department of different schools is different.
For example, the Chinese Language and Literature major of Capital Normal University has four major directions, namely the normal direction, the non-normal direction, the senior foreign-related secretarial direction, and the comparative literature major direction. The training focus of these four majors is different: the teacher training category mainly cultivates teachers, teaching researchers and other educators who have the basic theories, basic knowledge and basic skills of Chinese language and literature, and can teach and research Chinese language and literature in secondary schools; Non-normal majors mainly cultivate senior professionals in Chinese language and literature with professional knowledge and writing skills; The senior foreign-related secretarial major mainly cultivates senior secretarial professionals, and the foreign language requirements of this major are higher than those of the other two majors. The Comparative Literature major aims to cultivate interdisciplinary senior professionals who are familiar with Chinese and Western cultures and are proficient in both Chinese and English.
The Chinese Language and Literature (Financial Secretarial) major offered by the Central University of Finance and Economics focuses on cultivating secretarial talents in the field of finance and economics.
