Abstract

Under the background of economic globalization, foreign exchanges and cooperation become more and more frequent, and emergency language service talents are urgently needed to deal with all kinds of emergencies around the world, which leads to the discussion on the construction of emergency language talent pool. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of emergency language service system and talents training has been heightened to an unprecedented level. As an important part of language talents, college foreign language teachers have become the focus of talent pool construction. Therefore, this paper selected English teachers in Nanjing colleges and universities as the research objects. By conducting emergency language translation test questionnaires about medical emergency language, foreign trade emergency language, external publicity emergency language, and using SPSS 24.0 for data analysis, this paper concluded that most of the English teachers in Nanjing universities can reach the standard of emergency language service, but they lack the experience of emergency language research and practice. Based on this conclusion, this paper further presented that the lack of attention to emergency language and the high demand for emergency language service are two main reasons for the existing problems. At last, this paper put forward some suggestions on the construction of emergency language service talent pool, and pointed out the qualities of emergency language service talent.
