외국어 교육에서 산업체 현장실습 수업 방안 연구

Abstract

This study explores the integration of industry-linked field training into foreign language education, specifically focusing on its effectiveness in enhancing students' practical language skills and workplace adaptability. In the era of rapid globalization and digitalization, the demand for foreign language proficiency across various industries has significantly increased. This trend highlights the growing importance of equipping students not only with theoretical knowledge but also with practical language skills and problem-solving abilities that can be applied effectively in professional contexts. To address these needs, a field training-based instructional model was developed and implemented within a Chinese Business course. This model was designed to evaluate how industry-linked training influences students’ readiness to adapt to workplace environments and their overall job performance. By engaging students in real-world industry settings, the model aimed to bridge the gap between academic learning and the demands of professional life. The findings of the study reveal several key outcomes. First, the inclusion of industry field training provided students with opportunities to apply their language skills in authentic work scenarios. This practical application not only enhanced their linguistic proficiency but also fostered critical thinking and problem-solving abilities as they navigated challenges in real-time. Furthermore, collaborative learning activities such as mentoring sessions and team-based projects played a pivotal role in boosting student motivation and fostering a sense of synergy among participants. Post-training activities, including reflective journaling and presentations, proved to be effective in consolidating the knowledge and skills gained during the training. These reflective practices enabled students to critically analyze their experiences, reinforcing their learning and building confidence in their ability to utilize language skills in professional contexts. As a result, students demonstrated a heightened readiness to meet the demands of the workforce, with increased confidence in their ability to contribute meaningfully in industry-related roles. The study concludes that educational programs which integrate theoretical instruction with practical, industry-based experiences are highly effective in strengthening students' employability skills. Such programs not only provide foundational resources for developing industry-academia field training models but also contribute to the broader goal of preparing students for the evolving demands of the global workforce. Moreover, the instructional model developed through this study is adaptable across various fields of study, offering a versatile and scalable framework that can support students in diverse academic and professional disciplines.
