一国家现代化建设需要大量的人才,改革开放亟需数以千万计的、不同层次懂外语的、能与外国人直接交流的专业技术人员和高素质的劳动者。在这种背景下,自学考试、电大、夜大、函授、社会力量办学等多种教育形式悄然兴起、蓬勃发展,它们在一定层次上都开设了公共外语或专业外语课。此外,社会上自学外语热常盛不衰,各种外语培训班、短训班、强化班在大、中城市和大型企业比比皆是。这就从一个侧面反映了我国改革开放以来对外交往不断扩大,外语人才不足、 A country’s modernization needs a large number of talents. Reform and opening up require tens of millions of professional and technical personnel and highly qualified workers who can understand foreign languages ​​at different levels and can directly communicate with foreigners. Against this background, various forms of education such as self-study exams, TV universities, night schools, correspondence classes, and school run by social forces have emerged quietly and flourished. They have set up public foreign languages ​​or specialized foreign language classes at certain levels. In addition, the self-taught foreign language in the community is constantly booming, and various foreign language training classes, short training classes, and reinforcement classes are commonplace in large and medium-sized cities and large-scale enterprises. This reflects on one side that since China’s reform and opening up, foreign exchanges have continued to expand, and foreign language talent has been insufficient.
