ABSTRACT

Since 2000, a number of newly-built undergraduate colleges have been established in China. From the perspective of the number of schools and the scale of training talents, newly-built undergraduate colleges account for about one-third of the total amount of higher-level undergraduate education. Under the new situation that the country is vigorously promoting the transformation of English teachers, with the upgrading of the national industrial structure and the development of emerging industries, it is particularly urgent to train high-level technical and skilled talents. In October 2015, the Ministry of Education, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the Ministry of Finance promulgated the “Guiding Opinions on Guiding the Transformation of Some Local Undergraduate Universities to Applied Types.”
