Personalized design on bilingual teaching of computer science in Chinese universities

Abstract

With the ever increasing international exchange in IT industry, there is an urgent need for IT talented persons who not only have expertise but also are proficient in foreign languages to provide and promote bilingual teaching in Chinese universities, a practice which can both share excellent teaching resources and experience from abroad and cultivate high-quality international talent. However, there have been some problems. This paper analyzes the current problems in bilingual teaching in computer science and proposes a reform idea about personalized design in some aspects of bilingual teaching such as teaching, learning, evaluation, and assessment. The paper also describes various design points in the process. Furthermore, a bilingual teaching course in "Information Security" is provided as an example to give a detailed analysis of the specific implementation. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
