Abstract

This study examines undergraduate foreign language majors and their teachers. It uses questionnaire surveys and structured interviews to explore their perceptions, needs, and views on the effectiveness of the Three-dimensional Education Model. The results show that students acknowledge the value of the model, but their understanding of its core ideas is limited. They show strong needs for professional practice and career guidance. Teachers and counselors play a notable role in the process. Students value practical and cultural components, while research and administrative aspects appear less effective. The study recommends clarifying stakeholder responsibilities, improving coordination mechanisms, and strengthening industry–education cooperation to expand practical learning opportunities. These findings offer empirical support for the model’s implementation in foreign language programmes.
