2011年是外国语学院与文学院合作开设双专业的第二年，今年9月与去年一样，外院共有21名新生报名修读双专业。开学之初，我院就邀请了文学院的邱月副教授参加了双专业介绍会，对此进行了详细介绍。

双专业是北京师范大学珠海分校文学院与外国语学院合作创办的对外汉语专业-英语或英语-对外汉语培养模式，主要针对对外汉语专业和英语专业的学生招生。这两个专业的学生可以在入学时申请修读双专业，若在毕业前完成规定学分，即可获得同时记载两个专业学习经历的毕业证书；若符合学士学位授予条件的，即可获得文学学士学位。到目前为止，双专业涵盖了对外汉语教学、涉外文秘、通用英语、英语教育四个方向，同学们可以根据自己的未来规划自由选择。与双学位不同的是，双专业是将有交叉领域的两门学科综合起来而非单纯的根据自己的兴趣选择第二专业，这样的设置更科学、更合理，有利于培养更多复合型人才。

众所周知，汉语在国际上的地位不断提高，孔子学院迅速遍布世界各地。同时，在全球化的浪潮下，我国坚持引进来与走出去相结合的战略，改革开放以来我国引进了很多先进的科技与文化，然而如何让我们博大精深的中华文明走向世界却需要更多像对外汉语-英语或英语-对外汉语双专业的复合型人才。再回顾国内的就业形势，双专业无疑增加了大学生取胜的砝码，助其在百万求职大军中脱颖而出。对学生个人而言，双专业让他们用一倍的时间学到了两倍的知识，从而增加了自身的综合实力和竞争力；对教育行业而言，双专业这一创新形式无疑为传统教育模式注入了新的活力，是教育改革的一大创举；而对国家而言，以这种形式培养更多应用型、复合型人才有助于增加我们的综合国力，尽快实现中华民族的伟大复兴。

外国语学院自开设双专业以来得到了广泛关注、认可与好评。学生们对此很感兴趣，不怕辛苦，乐于尝试这一新形式。而家长们也很关注它的发展前景，尤其是在开学初外国语学院举行的家长座谈会中表示了极大的兴趣。

Bi-major Program Gains Momentum

By Guo Rui

The year of 2011 is the second year that the School of Foreign Languages has collaborated with the School of Chinese in an English-TCFL bi-major program. At the beginning of this semester, the SFL invited Qiu Yue, an associate professor from the School of Literature, to the Bi-major information session to introduce the program. In September this year, the same as last year, 21 freshmen from the SFL enrolled in this program.

Students of this program learn English as their first major and TCFL (Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language) as the second major, or vice versa. Freshmen of the English major and the TCFL can apply for the program at the beginning of the first semester. There are 4 orientations for this bi-major program: Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language, Secretarial Work concerning Foreign Affairs, English Language & Literature and English Education.

With the development of Confucius Institutes, more and more people around the world are learning Chinese as a foreign language. Students of this program will meet the needs of promoting Chinese as an International language and have a good prospect of employment in the future.
