Abstract:

With the deepening of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), China’s participation in global governance has increased, leading to a growing demand for high-level interdisciplinary foreign language talents. Through a review of Foreign Languages Planning in China from the Perspective of Global Governance, the article explores the fundamental educational questions of “whom to train, how to train, and for whom to train,” offering insights into the strategic positioning, pathways, and objectives for global governance talent development. In response, triple considerations are proposed:(1)aligning talent development with national strategic needs, (2)building a comprehensive interdisciplinary foreign language training framework, and(3)deepening the “major + foreign languages” model. Therefore, scientifically informed foreign language planning is crucial for developing high-level talents that align with national strategies, promoting paradigm innovation in foreign language education, and addressing the evolving demands for interdisciplinary professionals in global governance.

Key words: global governance, foreign language planning, foreign language talents, research paradigm, interdisciplinary talents
