当前部分高校国际贸易专业教学中存在的若干问题浅析

Problems and Solutions:Teaching of International Trade at University

在中国入世前后,我国高校为了适应市场需要纷纷设立国际贸易专业。大家都预期,在中国入世后,市场对经贸人才的需求会有一个较大增长。但是时至今日,已是中国入世的第三个年头,人们却发现市场对国际贸易专业毕业生的需求量远远没有预期的那么大,大部分该专业毕业生从事的工作跟国际贸易根本没有关系。这样的结果可能一方面反映了人们对市场估计的失误,另一方面可能也反映了部分高校国际贸易专业建设的不足。所以,针对这些问题,实践教学、模拟教学和双语教学在国际贸易教学中就显得越来越必要。

Around the time when China entered the WTO, in order to meet the demands of the market, most of the domestic universities began to set up the specialty of International Trade, taking it for granted that there would be a great need for graduates in this field. However, nearly three years has gone by so far since China's accession to the WTO and the number of the international-trade majors needed in the job market has far from been as huge as expected. And it is also found that most of the graduates of this specialty are not engaged in international business at all. This phenomenon seems to be a paradox. On the one hand it reflects the blindly optimistic estimation of supply and demand in the job market; on the other hand it also exposes the shortcomings in academic teaching and field training in school. So it is increasingly important for the college to pay close attention to bilingual teaching, simulative or experimental training, and fieldwork training as well as traditional academic training.
