Cultivating the ability of foreign language majors to disseminate contemporary China to the world is a new mission of higher foreign language education.However,there is a lack of both systematic understanding and teaching practice on how to cultivate this ability.The study uses both questionnaires and interviews to investigate the understanding of 590 foreign language majors in nine universities from three provinces regarding their ability to disseminate contemporary China.It is found that students'understanding of the ability to disseminate contemporary China is limited:first,though they have a strong willingness to disseminate China overseas,their ability is weak;second,as students progress in grade levels,their willingness decreases;third,their understanding is overwhelmingly affected by their foreign language proficiency.The ability of foreign language majors to disseminate contemporary China is a comprehensive practical ability aimed at telling Chinese stories well in foreign languages.For higher foreign language education,cultivating this ability is not out of reach,but can be effectively achieved through actively adjusting the objectives and curriculum of the teaching program.
