They suddenly realized that they had been deceived by these people's flattery for foreign languages for so many years. They could not help but want to curse like Chen Qiang.
It really was like this!
In fact, when they learned foreign languages in their teens, they sometimes wondered what they were doing. Mathematics and other subjects would not make them feel that way. No matter what, these subjects would help the future and the construction of the country. They were very clear about it.
However, when they learned foreign languages in the past, they were really puzzled. Why did they learn this thing?
To put it bluntly, it was because they didn't know what their needs were for this thing that they fell into such a state of confusion. In this state, they were forced to learn foreign languages. It would be strange if they could learn well. Of course, this was the case for most students!
Therefore, those training institutions and so on constantly advocated that foreign language education should be started from a young age, the earlier the better. It was completely nonsense!
Just like Professor Chen Qiang said, languages were tools. Only when you had a need for them would you learn them the fastest.
When there was no need for it, it could only be said to be forced to learn, and the effect was really not much.
All these years, when they were teenagers, they had done countless useless things.
After understanding this fact, after understanding that everyone might have been tricked by them, how could they not want to curse?
In that case, how much time had they and their children lost because of these comments? How much time!
If he could save this time, he really didn't know how many things he could do in other areas.
At this moment, they felt that Professor Chen Qiang's first sentence was simply too good.
How much time has foreign languages taken away from the youths of Great Xia?
Those days, just like that, they've gone away in vain
At this moment, all the parents who were listening to this seminar seemed to have a kind of power slowly sprouting in their hearts.
All the students clenched their fists tightly. This young Professor Chen had spoken their thoughts out loud. They had always had this vague feeling, but under the pressure of the entire foreign language environment, even if they wanted to say something, they couldn't say it. Moreover, as mere students, who would listen to their opinions?
However, Professor Chen was different!
He was the real deal, a professor with such an honor at such a young age.
The organizers of the seminar turned even greener. They realized that the entire seminar was developing in a direction that deviated from their expectations. They could see it from the audience's eyes.
After Chen Qiang's words, the audience looked at their training institution with a rather strange gaze. It was a gaze that wanted to tear them apart, which made their bodies slightly cold.
Immediately after, Chen Qiang continued,
" Next, I'll talk about the last harm of over-advocating foreign languages. The previous professors said it very well. If we don't carry out foreign language education, it will be difficult for us to communicate with international advanced academic knowledge and publish papers in excellent foreign academic journals. These are all fine. As a physics professor, I know that at this stage, we need to communicate with foreign academics.”
However, he paused for a moment and then said,
" However, do you know that over-praising foreign languages is just like boiling a frog in warm water? We can only be the pursuers of advanced foreign learning, but it's difficult for us to become the creators of advanced learning!
"If our Great Xia really wants to have our own academic and academic innovation, we can't do this. I'm sure everyone knows that in the last century, our Great Xia had a literary giant. He said a very classic saying, it's called the doctrine of using!
"And now, we're still doing such things. We're still proud of the doctrine of borrowing. We're still stuck in the academic world of foreign countries and are very behind them.”
Chen Qiang's words made everyone fall into deep thought again.
The things he said became heavier and more serious.
However, this was indeed the reality. The deep-rooted foreign language education had made many people forget that foreign languages were just a tool for them to read foreign academic papers. Great Xia's academic field had always been behind others. They made up for other people's natural science journals and various journals, but there were very few truly impressive academic papers published by Great Xia people in natural science journals.
In terms of basic academics, Great Xia was much weaker.
They had never understood why this was the case.
But today, Chen Qiang had led the problem to this point. Thinking about it carefully, it was actually quite reasonable.
In the end, what others had was what others had. In today's world where foreign languages were over-respected, they naturally followed the habitual thinking of foreign languages when they conducted their academic studies. However, this was a thinking that suited others, not the people of Great Xia.
If this continued, it would only be like boiling a frog in warm water. Great Xia seemed to have made considerable progress in many applied sciences, but the basic sciences were too weak. In Chen Qiang's opinion, this was one of the reasons.
Chen Qiang's voice continued,"
"A foreign language is just a tool!”
His words had said everything. His voice slowly sounded in everyone's hearts.
