"The Burmese language major is a characteristic major of Guangxi Foreign Studies University. In terms of curriculum, it focuses on cultivating students' language ability, cultural literacy, and practical application ability. Through studying the Burmese language major, students can engage in translation, teaching, management, and other work in industries such as foreign trade, education, tourism, foreign affairs, culture, and news publishing after graduation." said Zhong Zhifeng, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Guangxi Foreign Studies University.
Xiao Zhang, a sophomore majoring in Burmese at Guangxi University of Foreign Languages, is very optimistic about the Burmese language major. Through her studies in school, she has mastered professional knowledge such as basic Burmese language, writing, and translation theory, and has learned basic knowledge in Burmese humanities, technology, tourism, international trade, and other areas.
When it comes to why I chose the Burmese language major, Xiao Zhang said, "As far as I know, there are relatively few universities in China that offer Burmese language majors, and there are also relatively few graduates each year. With the closer economic cooperation between countries, the demand for Burmese language talents in society will continue to increase, and the employment prospects are also good. Therefore, I chose the Burmese language major during the college entrance examination." She said that the professional knowledge learned in school is very helpful for improving my comprehensive quality and cross-cultural communication skills.
"As an important neighboring country of China, Myanmar has extensive cooperation with China in the field of economy and trade. The establishment of a Myanmar language major in schools can cultivate talents with Myanmar language proficiency and cross-cultural communication skills, provide language communication support for trade between China and Myanmar, and promote trade cooperation between the two sides." Zhong Zhifeng said that by learning Myanmar language, students can better understand Myanmar culture, deepen mutual understanding and friendship between the people of China and Myanmar.
"At present, the construction of the 'the Belt and Road' has a great demand for non common language professionals." Zhong Zhifeng introduced that in order to actively serve the "the Belt and Road" initiative, Guangxi Institute of Foreign Languages has opened a number of non common language majors, including Vietnamese, Thai, Cambodian, Indonesian, Burmese and Japanese.
