In today's era of globalization and digitalization, the cultivation and development of minority language talents has gradually shown its unique value and importance. In particular, Spanish, as a language with a wide global influence, can not only have an advantage in language communication, but also find its own place in multicultural integration.
On April 11, 2024, Wang Fei, associate researcher of the Institute of Latin American Studies of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, gave a lecture on the growth of Spanish talents to the students of the first and second years of Spanish language class of Beijing Gucheng Middle School, in order to strengthen the students' further understanding of their own studies and future career planning, and to help students plan reasonably, make good use of time, improve their learning methods, and carry out correct academic and career orientation. This lecture deeply analyzed the importance and growth path of Spanish compound talents in contemporary society from multiple dimensions such as personal academic growth, the main characteristics of the new era, the unique advantages of small language +, and the guidance of Latin American knowledge.
First of all, Wang Fei explained and elaborated from the perspective of personal academic growth based on his own experience. He said that mastering Spanish provides a broad stage for personal academic growth, and in the wave of globalization, academic research is no longer limited to a certain region or culture. As one of the most spoken languages in the world, Spanish is rich in history, culture and knowledge. Mastering the language means having direct access to primary sources, a deeper understanding of the cultural and social phenomena of Spain and Latin America, and a unique perspective and perspective for academic research.
In the New Era Representation section, the presenter pointed out that despite the remarkable progress made by AI in language processing, it is still far from being able to completely replace human language capabilities, especially complex languages like Spanish. Human language is not only a simple symbolic communication, but also contains multi-layered connotations such as emotion, culture and history. This kind of in-depth understanding and application is difficult to achieve with current AI technology.
In the unique advantages of small language+, students learned that in today's multilingual and multicultural international exchanges, talents who master Spanish have unique advantages. Spanish is not only the official language of Spain, but it is also widely spoken in numerous countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. Mastering Spanish will not only allow you to communicate directly with the people of these countries, but also open up a broader space for development in many fields such as business, culture, and education. In addition, with the deepening of the Belt and Road Initiative, the demand for Spanish talents has become increasingly prominent, and it has become an important bridge between China and Latin American and Caribbean countries.
The importance of Latin American knowledge in the study of Spanish was also emphasized. Many people think that learning Spanish is all about communicating with Spaniards, but in reality, Spanish is used much more than that. Latin American and Caribbean countries have a rich and colorful culture and history, and this knowledge and background is indispensable for a comprehensive understanding of the Spanish language. By learning Latin American knowledge, you can not only deepen your understanding and use of Spanish, but also provide strong support for your all-round development.
The lecture not only provided students with an opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of the growth path of Spanish talents, but also demonstrated the importance and unique value of Spanish in today's society through vivid cases and in-depth analysis. With globalization and multiculturalism, we believe that people who master the Spanish language will shine on the stage of the future.
