Where there is industry, there is occupation, so as language industry and language occupation. There is a close relationship between language and occupation which can be investigated from two following aspects: language occupation and the language in the occupation. The teachers who teach Mandarin language should know some basic knowledge about the relationship between language and occupation as follows.

First of all, we should know the language occupation. For most students who study in China, it is an unfamiliar concept and the connotation and extension of language occupation is needed to be defined in further research. Any occupation need supplementary of some other elements including the language occupation. When language takes a large proportion in the occupation, it can be called language occupation which needs to be admitted by economics.

However, we should know some occupations can be called the language occupation in our daily life. In order to expand the knowledge to the students who learn Mandarin, the following occupations are some of this kind provided: computer rapid copier, translator (writing and oral), language engineer, announcer, commentator, telephone operator, language teacher, lexicographer, calligrapher, performer of language show, dubbing speaker, language code designer (including the designers of gesture language, telegram, semaphore, lamp signal, password) and so on.

As we all know, almost all kinds of occupations need the language ability. If there is no interference of language ability, many staffs of certain occupation are not standardized in quality. About the need of language ability, the foreigners who study Chinese at school may be told that the primary industry and the secondary may need less, but it plays a decisive role in the service industry.

For those foreign learners who come to learn Chinese in China, they must have realized the importance of the language in the occupation. The “language service and service for language” is a doctor essay by Li Xianle of Nanking University. In his essay, he discusses much about the issue of language consumption, finding language has really tremendous importance in some certain occupations.

We all know the importance of language in our jobs. But we also need to know more about the importance in other occupations. According to our perceptual knowledge, foreigners who study in Mandarin learning courses should know that there are four types of occupations need high language ability. The first classification is the “guide” job such as shopping guide, tour guide and medical guidance and so on.

Besides, doctor and lawyer also need high language ability. Language is also plays an important role in advertising copywriter, news spokesman, teacher, writer, journalist, editor, secretary, drama actor and so forth. Last but not least, the civil servant needs high language school because they should to use it to do the official job. During the process when students learn Chinese language in China, they may feel that majorities of excellent carders all have better language ability than anyone else. So the national civil servant exam attaches more importance to this aspect.

In additions, the language ability is closely related to the national income. Many researches from home and broad show us that the language ability and income have a positive correlation. Many foreigners begin to learn Mandarin Chinese because those who possesses two languages owning a higher salary and getting job easier than those who just can speak one, and if he or she can do computer programming, the situation will be better.

The language economy is starting from the research of the relationship between language and income, which is always the dominant aspect of the research. Those who learn Mandarin in China may hear that the minorities of people speak the language of the majorities can be helpful to get benefits in economy.

When foreigners attend o school to learn to speak Chinese, they may know that some scholars from Shandong university, Nanking University, Guangzhou university and Peking university are paying attention to the relationship between language ability and income as well as language service and enterprise competitiveness.

From all above, we can see that the language ability is very important in the occupation. Those who have strong language ability can get better job. And the language ability is beneficial to the increase of national income.
