Applying Bilingual Teaching on Employment-oriented IT Experience Training Program in Nationalities Universities

Shuang Liu, Xizuo Li, Li Zuo

Abstract


It is a little difficult to carry out bilingual teaching in employment-oriented IT experienced training program because of its strong practicality and rapid development. How to keep pace with technology development and adopt effective bilingual teaching method and approach cultivating compound international talents of software development required by society, and how to utilize auxiliary network teaching platform improving students’ study independence is the basic target of bilingual reform for the course. Based on summarization of training contents and advantages in software companies and experiences of the first experimental project in Dalian Nationalities University, a feasible training system is put forward. Combined with bilingual teaching experiences of teachers in course group in New Zealand, flexible and variable teaching methods are adopted in order to improve students’ study enthusiasm. And students are guided to complete regular software development based on experience training program of software companies in practice teaching. The purpose of this system is to enhance students’ professional skill training, improving students’ English expression skills of speaking and writing, developing students’ project practical ability and communication and expression ability.
