Abstract

In the context of globalization and informatization, the introduction of the New Humanities concept presents new challenges and opportunities for cultivating foreign language talents in China. This study aims to explore theoretical pathways for foreign language talent cultivation under the New Humanities framework. Through literature review, theoretical analysis, and comparative studies, the core connotations of the New Humanities and their impacts on foreign language talent cultivation are systematically examined. The study first defines the concept of the New Humanities and analyzes its distinctions from traditional humanities, then explores the reconfiguration of objectives, content, methods, and evaluation systems for foreign language talent cultivation under this new framework. The research highlights that the New Humanities emphasize interdisciplinary, cross-cultural, innovative thinking, and practical abilities, necessitating comprehensive reforms in curriculum design, teaching methods, faculty development, and evaluation mechanisms in foreign language education. The conclusion suggests that, under the New Humanities framework, foreign language talent cultivation in China should focus on developing students' global perspectives, cross-cultural communication skills, and innovative thinking, while aligning with international standards to enhance the global competitiveness of foreign language talents. This study offers theoretical support and practical guidance for the reform of foreign language education in China, with significant implications for innovating foreign language talent cultivation models.
