Abstract

When higher education aims for academic or practical training, learners must consider what talents they shall become to fit into society appropriately. When higher educational institutions design teaching curricula, recruitment requirements in the real world set a leverage for evaluating and adapting the teaching purposes. With a closer look into one of the latest China Railway International Group (CRIG) campus recruitments, this study applies the ethnomethodological analytical approaches of Conversation Analysis and Membership Categorization Analysis to examine the qualifications university students must obtain to find themselves a position in an international competitive working environment. The analyses of three layers reveal what qualifications students must build up during their university learning and academic training. This study sheds light on applying sociological analytical approaches to pedagogical education practice and curriculum design when higher education institutions have a more practical job to do to adapt their teaching curricula to keep up with the needs of society.
