Abstract:

The industrialization is progressing on the unparalleled scale, bringing an ever greater impetus to the growth of mining industry. China has had its unique pattern of developing its mining engineerin: firstly importing technologies, then studying and absorbing them, and finally achieving some innovation. Until now, China has been honored with some of mining theories taking the lead in the international mining world. As the disseminators of human civilization including advanced mining technologies, the Chinese professionals concerned are duty-bound to introduce abroad Chinas new progresses in mining engineering; that they are skillfully equipped with the four kinds of English abilities in reading, writing, listening and speaking, which is prerequisite for them to work well in foreign cooperation, has become an urgent matter to for them as well as for the authorities concerned.
