ABSTRACT

Applied Optics is one of the compulsory professional courses for the Optoelectronic Information major. In the period of internationalization, the goal of modern higher education is to cultivate high-level compound talents with independent research ability and global competitiveness. Proficiency and comprehensive use of English have become the core qualities of high-level talents for Chinese undergraduate students to participate in international cooperations. Internationalization also puts forward higher requirements for cultivation, emphasizing the deep integration of cross-cultural communication skills and professional knowledge. This paper analyzes the appropriate mode of full English teaching in applied optics, and points out some key problems in the full English teaching practice in Chinese universities. This paper introduces the experience and understanding of the full English teaching in applied optics from several aspects, hoping to be helpful for the full English teaching of science and engineering in non-native English-speaking countries.
