Discipline subdivision

Subdivision principle:

Due to different schools, the classification of English majors is also different. In the study of undergraduate English majors, the contents learned by freshmen and sophomores are relatively broad, such as basic English, English pronunciation, English extensive reading, English listening and other basic courses, which mostly play a role in consolidating basic abilities.

In the junior year (some schools are sophomores), the professional direction is more subdivided. Usually divided into teacher training, business English, translation. This means that English majors should not only have knowledge of English language and literature, but also have knowledge and skills outside their major, so that they can be applied to their future work.

Business English:

Business English aims to meet the language requirements of workplace life, and its content involves all aspects of business activities.

Business English course is not only to improve students' English level and ability, but also to teach students a western business management concept, work psychology, and even how to deal with foreigners, how to cooperate with them, working methods and their living habits. To some extent, it is included in the concept of culture.
