西班牙语是世界上使用国家最多的语言,是联合国六种工作语言之一。随着与世界全面接轨步伐的加快,我国与西班牙及拉美国家的外交关系日益密切,经贸文化往来日益频繁,西语的使用量越来越大,社会对既掌握西语又具备专业知识与实际技能的人才的需求量与日俱增。为了适应我国对外经济和文化交流的需要,山东大学于2006年开设西班牙语专业,旨在培养社会急需的、具有扎实语言基础和较强综合运用能力的高素质人才。
Spanish is one of the most-used languages in the world and it is also one of the six official languages of the Unites Nations. A more open China has established increasingly close diplomatic relations with Spain and Spanish-speaking Latin American nations. The growth of economic and cultural exchanges and wider use of Spanish contribute to a growing demand of Spanish-speaking talents with professional knowledge and practical skills. To meet the need for economic and cultural exchanges, Shandong University established the Spanish program in 2006, aiming to cultivate talents with solid language foundation and comprehensive practical ability.
