What are the advantages of learning a small language? What are the employment prospects of minority languages?
Look at the good news first:
20 16 in the recruitment of national civil servants (courses), only the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce need 25 Russian posts, 17 French posts, and 103 minority language talents. In the future, returnees with small languages will enter universities to teach or become the backbone of international exchanges between countries and enterprises, and their chances of success in choosing a job will be much higher than those who can only speak English.
In recent years, minority language learning has become more and more popular, so what languages do minority languages include? What is their employment situation? The following is explained by the teacher of Hebei Normal University Overseas Training Center!
First of all, what is a minor language?
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. But in China, it is customary to call foreign language majors other than English "small languages".
Japanese
Japanese is no stranger to everyone, because of its geographical relationship, attention and market recognition. It is also relatively simple to learn.
In terms of employment, due to geographical relations, 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. Good oral Japanese skills can make professionals feel at home in Japanese enterprises and greatly increase the promotion space. Because the Japanese Proficiency Test is an officially organized test with high authority recognition, and the reform in recent years is more humanized, the certificates of this test have been the most recognized certificates in the workplace over the years. At the same time, the recognition of Japanese interpreter qualification certificate, Business Japanese Proficiency Test (BJT) certificate, J.TEST, Japanese NAT and other certificates is also increasing. Therefore, when white-collar workers choose this kind of training courses, most of them will aim at obtaining certificates to improve their competitiveness in the workplace.
There are many online courses tailored for white-collar workers in the training market, which not only saves time, but also facilitates learning. Of course, if you want to study better, you need to teach in person. After all, everyone's self-control is limited. Online courses are convenient, but you need to have good self-control. Face-to-face teaching can avoid these problems, and teachers and peers who study together urge themselves to study and grow together!
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.
In recent years, the development of French is very rapid, and the number of people studying French in China is also rising. TCF test is an authoritative French proficiency test organized by the French International Education Research Center, and the number of applicants has long been dominant. From the perspective of studying abroad, the number of French universities that must take TCF is far more than that that that must take TEF. Therefore, TEF and TCF French exams are highly recognized in China, with the largest number of applicants. French companies often use this as a reference when recruiting overseas employees.
Korean
South Korea, like China, attaches importance to education. They believe that education can cultivate talents and is a shortcut to develop science, technology and economy. The Korean government pays attention to strengthening international education cooperation. Moreover, Korean universities have loose entrance and strict export, which is a selection system. There is no need for exams, so it is relatively easy for China students to study for the corresponding degrees. In addition, the cost of studying in Korea is low, which is suitable for working families. The application for admission is simple and the success rate of visa is high. Qualification examination mainly focuses on the applicant's learning ability and economic ability.
In terms of employment, South Korea is committed to developing the huge market of China, and needs a large number of talents who know Korean, have overseas study background and are familiar with the operation of the domestic market. Many China students will be employed by Korean companies to develop and manage their branches in China. The employment prospects are still ok.
German
Among German students, most of them are middle and high-level students who improve their German level, and most of them choose to study German in enterprises. Generally speaking, it is for the better development of career or for the convenience of communication in German enterprises.
At present, the most common German exams are the globally unified Telford Test (TDN) and DSH test. According to the test results, candidates will receive different levels of certificates issued by Telford Examinations Institute. DSH is a standard test of German proficiency for German university students.
Russian
Russian belongs to the Eastern Slavic branch of Slavic language family, which is mainly used in Russia and other member countries of the former Soviet Union. In North America, there is a considerable Russian-speaking community, especially in urban areas of the United States and Canada, such as new york, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Toronto, Miami, Chicago and Richmond Heights in the suburb of Cleveland. In new york and Los Angeles alone, the Russian population is estimated to reach 500,000, which is still widely used today.
From the perspective of employment, the employment situation in Germany is relatively stable and the treatment is moderate. German enterprises, especially the automobile industry, attract a large number of talents. Russia is a big country with great potential, and there is a great exchange demand between China and Russia. Due to the efforts of the two governments, there is an increasing demand for graduates to study abroad. With the development of Sino-Russian trade, it is easy for Russian students to find opportunities to do "portable translation" for Russian business groups coming to China, especially those who have studied in Russia, and their income is higher. ：
Italian
Italian belongs to the West Romance family of the Romance family of Indo-European languages, and is considered as the most artistic and musical language in the world. Besides Italy, Italian is also spoken by residents of 29 other countries in the world, and it is also widely used in the United States, Canada, Argentina and Brazil. Attention, students who are interested in studying abroad, there are four official grade examinations in Italy, which are recognized by the Italian Ministry of Education and the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, namely CELI, CILS, IT and PLIDA.
From the perspective of employment, the pressure of employment in Italy is not great.
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, although the number of people learning Spanish is small, it is rising rapidly, mainly because Spanish is one of the six common languages in the world. Many countries speak Spanish, including Brazil, Argentina and Mexico. "Even in the United States, if you only use English, you may not be able to walk from the east coast to the west coast, but Spanish can."
From the perspective of employment, few people can speak Spanish, and their jobs are extremely popular. The salary after employment is generally slightly higher than that of other small languages.
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 enthusiasm for learning Arabic has continued to heat up, which is not unrelated to the good employment of Arabic. Arabic employment is closely related to oil. PetroChina, Sinopec and CNOOC arrange a group of graduates every year.
Portuguese
Portuguese-speaking students mainly go to South America, Europe and Africa. Brazil has a high starting salary and great potential for economic development.
