Abstract

By interviewing 50 outstanding alumni of the School of Foreign Languages of Wuhan University of Technology, the research analyzes the most recognized comprehensive qualities and abilities of foreign language majors by using grounded theory, in order to construct an overall comprehensive quality cultivation system for foreign language majors in universities, including the acquisition and cultivation paths of comprehensive abilities. We can draw the following conclusions from the research. Firstly, the comprehensive ability of foreign language majors can be divided into four aspects including ideological cultivation, physical and mental quality, and vocational skills. Secondly, excellent foreign language majors cultivate their comprehensive quality mainly through association work, interpersonal communication, professional learning and extracurricular practice. Thirdly, in the comprehensive quality cultivation system for foreign language majors, there are four sectors consisting of ideological-cultivation, habit-formation, talented-leading and targeted-education. Taking discipline as the core elements, colleges and universities should combine foreign language with various cultivation elements so as to promote the comprehensive development of foreign languages majors.
