This Monday I had the pleasure and opportunity of
meeting the CEO of TCP, Inc., Mr. Ellis Yan. Mr. Yan’s insights into
the future of Chinese language learning convinced me that my choice
to attend The Ohio State University’s Chinese Flagship Program was
indeed the correct one.
My greatest motivation in learning Chinese has been to
understand a culture different from my own and bridge gaps in
communication with my Chinese counterparts. My previous experience
in marketing and advertising has created my career goal of working
with Chinese in a marketer capacity. In 2008, I chose to attend
OSU’s Chinese Flagship Program based on its mission of preparing
“global professionals”. The Flagship Program has provided me not
only with cultural and language knowledge but also with a domain
mentor in my major area of study. My personal belief is that the
Flagship method of teaching prepares me for a career working with
Chinese in the Chinese culture. This represents a major split from
the traditional Chinese language tracks that focused on China
research from an outsider’s perspective.
Mr. Yan’s vision of the future Chinese language training is that
language and culture need to be learned in a complementary role.
Those who are only able to speak Chinese, but lack professional
focus are of little use to the future of international business.
Similarly, those that have technical ability but lack language skill
require extra guidance when visiting China. Hence, those who are
eager to enter into a career in international business should commit
to the paragon of the employee that possesses technical ability,
language skill, and cultural understanding.
Hearing this opinion come from one of the most successful
businessmen in both America and China only underscores its
importance. |
