Various translation software has been widely used, and graduates of related majors are facing greater employment pressure. "It's already 2024, what's the use of learning a foreign language?" "With such high efficiency of AI translation software, will learning a foreign language result in 'unemployment upon graduation' When he first enrolled, Zou Wenjie, a student at the School of Foreign Languages of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, often heard doubts about foreign language talents from the outside world, which made him doubt his major and confused about his future employment direction. These issues are not just troubling Zou Wenjie alone. In recent years, various AI translation software have been widely used in daily life, and mastering foreign languages seems to be no longer a "craft". Our big data model has been widely applied and currently achieves an accuracy rate of around 90% in segmented translation fields. For everyday colloquial expressions, big model translation is already very accurate, except for some specialized terms in vertical scenes that cannot be translated Yao Chi (pseudonym), an algorithm engineer from a well-known high-tech enterprise, told reporters. The involvement of AI technology in the translation field has had a significant impact on professional translators. Low level translation talents are indeed easily replaced by AI, but excellent high-level translation talents are still scarce. "Zheng Lang, who has been engaged in the foreign language translation industry for more than 20 years, believes that although artificial intelligence will" shuffle "the translation talent market, it cannot replace human translation, only that it has higher requirements for professional translators. Chen Ying, a professor at Sichuan International Studies University and translator of Italian literature, also shares this sentiment. She believes that translation should not only accurately convey the original information, but also pay attention to the appropriateness of the context. Especially in the translation of literary works, it is necessary to make the translation emotional and warm, which requires the translator's solid language skills, keen insight, and cross-cultural understanding ability. This is something that translation software currently cannot achieve. Language proficiency, humanistic sentiment, industry knowledge... These are the "magic weapons" for foreign language talents to hold their ground. Looking back at schools, how can we cultivate the foreign language talents needed by the times? This has become a question that foreign language schools in major universities must consider. At Chengdu International Studies University, the official languages of the United Nations and the languages of the countries along the "the Belt and Road" have been fully opened. On this basis, the school has also opened "engineering French", "medical translation Portuguese", "cross-border e-commerce Italian" and other application-oriented courses to meet the needs of the society for versatile foreign language talents. The setting of these courses aims to cultivate new era applied foreign language talents who can tell the story of China well in real life and future workplace, "said Liu Ying, Director of the Academic Affairs Office of Chengdu Foreign Languages Institute. The School of Foreign Languages at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China will convert some language skills courses into practical training courses, increase project-based training outside of class, and focus on exploring deeper linguistic theories during class. In public classes, the college requires students to study calculus, statistical methods in social sciences, and other mathematical courses. It also invites linguistics teachers from different fields to introduce research areas, broaden students' horizons, and guide them to have a correct understanding of foreign language majors. With a deeper understanding of the English major, Zou Wenjie discovered that it involves not only language learning, but also multiple dimensions such as phonetics, grammar, and pragmatics. At present, he has also learned some algorithm development skills, and his anxiety has been greatly alleviated. Nowadays, foreign language colleges in various universities are actively seeking change, and a new breakthrough point has emerged in the reform: using AI to empower teaching. Please translate 'Spring Snow in Qinyuan' into Russian. Recently, in the 'Russian Rhetoric' class at the School of Foreign Languages, Southwest Petroleum University, the lecturer Yang Lixin 'fed' the instruction to the intelligent AI teaching assistant and soon received the answer. At this point, students need to combine the cultural differences between China and Russia, point out the advantages and disadvantages of AI answers, and improve them based on this, so that the Russian expression of "Qinyuan Spring · Snow" not only conforms to the local context, but also to the principle of "faithfulness, expressiveness, and elegance". The School of Foreign Languages at Southwest Petroleum University is using artificial intelligence to promote teaching mode transformation, and the course of "Russian Rhetoric" is one of the university's AI enabled new form course cultivation and construction projects. Foreign language talents can not only become users of AI, but also designers of AI Shi Yuxing, the head of the Special Office of the Language Intelligence Experimental Class at the School of Foreign Languages of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, introduced that in 2023, the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China will combine its disciplinary advantages to establish a language intelligence experimental class at the School of Foreign Languages. This class selects students with good mathematical foundations to join, and students who have not entered the experimental class can also take all courses in this class. These courses cover probability theory and mathematical statistics, computer fundamentals, artificial intelligence neural networks, language intelligence engineering project training, and other aspects, meeting the diverse learning needs of students. AI won't take away your 'rice bowl', but those who are proficient in AI will. We will make every effort to enable students to become foreign language talents who master advanced technology and keep up with the pace of the times Shi Yuxing looked ahead. (New Society)
