Get PDFThe Belt and Road Initiative has expanded exchange and cooperation between China and the outside world in the fields of politics, economics, education, humanities, science and technology, and tourism, and has increased the demand for non-common language specialists in various industries in China. Currently a number of foreign language universities in China offer non-common language majors. Upon graduation, students of non-common language majors provide services to China’s party and government organisations, universities, research institutions and major enterprises. As society develops and career requirements increase, the overall quality of non-common language students need to be enhanced. Non-common language teachers in universities must be innovative in their theoretical and practical approaches if they are to help non-common language students meet the demands of the modern world. They need to summarize the experience and lessons learned from the teaching process, address any challenges that may arise, and explore ways to improve the quality and efficiency of their teaching. From the perspective of sustainable development, a practical path that can ensure the quality of non-common language teaching and learning is explored in terms of subject specialization

Cultural Dimensions and Pragmatic Failure: The Case of Moroccan EFL University Students
Get PDFThis study examines the impact of cultural values on the production of three speech acts (complaints, apologies, and refusals) by Moroccan Learners of English as a Foreign Language (EFL). The study involves three groups of participants: Moroccan EFL learners (MLE), American speakers (AE), and Moroccan Arabic speakers (MA). The objective of this cross-cultural pragmatic study is to explore and identify the extent to which pragmatic failure can be attributed to the cultural value and dimensions of the learners rather than their linguistic incompetence. Participants were given Discourse Completion Task questionnaires to elicit their reactions to various situations. The results, based on Hofstede’s cultural dimension framework (2010) and Hall’s cultural specifications (1976), showed that culture has a significant effect on the performance of the speech acts under investigation. Findings suggested that cultural specificities do effect the pragmatic choices made by the interlocutors across the three groups of informants
Research on the Administrative Regulatory Model of Road Traffic: Taking “Online Car-Hailing Services” as an Example
Get PDFWith the rise of the Internet Plus concept, the sharing economy has integrated into the transportation services, and the online car-hailing industry has developed rapidly. While meeting the diversified transportation needs of the public, it has also led to conflicts and controversies with traditional taxis in terms of laws and policies. The emergence of new things inevitably breaks through the closed and inefficient existing systems. Faced with innovation, it is normal for regulatory measures to lag behind. Regulatory authorities should lower the barriers to entry, allow multiple market entities to compete fully, and should not adopt a one-size-fits-all approach to regulate online car-hailing services. Instead, they should encourage innovation, change their regulatory mindset, and transform their regulatory approaches to standardize and guide the industry, thus achieving a reasonable management of the emerging sector
