International Bilingual Education Reform and Practice of Mining Engineering under “One Belt and One Road Initiativeâ€

Abstract

As the advance of the "One Belt and One Road Initiative", the mining industry in China has been provided with great opportunity to acquire rapid and globalized development, along with new challenges. In light of the problems in the internationalized mining engineering education, such as late start-up, weak foundation, lack of sources and urgent needs, the curriculum system, teaching materials, implementation and evaluation are analyzed. Then it is suggested that internationalized mining engineering education should establish international course system, explore training approach and training staff on the basis of bilingual education. For the purpose of cultivating technical and managerial talents under the perspective of Big Engineering Concept, comprehensive and international viewpoint are further studied. Through the "inviting-in and stepping-out" strategy, the reform combine the bilingual and professional training in a multilevel, multidimensional and progressive way. It can be concluded that the bilingual education may come into play as linguistic medium, global perspective and communication bridge for the advance of mining enterprise globalization. The current study may provide sound reference and foundation for the further development of mining engineering internationalization.
