On Thesis Topic Selection of English Majors in Application-oriented Universities——A Case Study of the School of Foreign Languages of Huangshan University
According to the word frequency analysis of the titles of undergraduate English Major theses from 2018 to 2021 at the School of Foreign Languages of Huangshan University,it reveals the following findings:the selection of literary topics is relatively arbitrary with vague conceptual categories;the selection of translation topics has a single theoretical basis;the selection of teaching topics focuses on language teaching;the selection of cultural topics concentrates on differences between Chinese and foreign cultures;and the selection of tourism topics lacks local characteristics.It is believed that the selection of thesis topics for English majors in application-oriented universities should emphasize the rigor of expression,broaden the diversity of works in literary topics,advocate for the selection of topics in applied translation,and expand the discipline and practice areas of English teaching.
