Abstract
In order to accommodate the trend of high-speed railway signaling integrating with communication techniques, Basic Theory and Application of GSM-R is a crucial curriculum for students majoring in Traffic Information Engineering and Control and Transportation Engineering. It helps students to master the latest theory and application of train-ground communication techniques. However, with the application of the next generation railway mobile communication technique, several advanced communication techniques are presented in the form of English materials. It is of great significance to have a bilingual teaching mode for this course. This would contribute to cultivating research-oriented and professional talents with international competitiveness. Through the blended teaching reform of bilingual education, the proportion of topic selection of interdisciplinary research papers by postgraduates has increased from 6% to 15%. In this article, the characteristics and the current problems of bilingual teaching are discussed from theory to practice in three aspects: the production of bilingual courseware, the supplement of English materials, and the guidance of research topics. Additionally, corresponding teaching reform schemes are proposed in this article.
