Title: Vocational Oriented Teaching Reform for Liberal Arts Major—Taking Chinese Language and Literature Major as an Example
Abstract: Since 2014, education reform emphasized on applied skill development has evolved rapidly in China. However, less progress has been made for liberal arts majors such as Chinese Language and Literature that mainly focus on the courses of literature, history and philosophy. It is a more serious problem for such majors in third class colleges in China. Through long-term teaching experience, we put forward the teaching reform ideas of Chinese Language and Literature major according to the actual situation of students. Firstly, we must teach students in accordance with their aptitude; secondly, we should provide differential teaching schemes according to student’s occupation orientation; then further reform the teaching materials and improve teachers’ development program. By taking the measurements above, students from liberal arts major can also been trained into pragmatic professionals who can serve the local economic development.
