    Yes:
    Teaching courses in local dialect can highlight the local tradition. We are now living in a world filled with a great variety of cultures. In this sense, we need to know, more or less, features of these cultures if we want to have better communication with other people. As one of the key elements of culture, the dialect, to a large degree, shows the specific feature of the local culture.
    Besides, having witnessed the changes in history, the dialect is a reflection of the tradition in a country. Moreover, when travelling or living in other regions, people may confront discrimination and bias if they cannot communicate with locals in local dialect. Thus, priority and attention should be given to teach at least one selective course in local dialect.
    No:
    Teaching courses in local dialect will undoubtedly make communication more difficult.
    If teachers teach courses in local dialect in universities, students’ attention will be easily distracted from what they are studying as a result of difficult communication. Thus, universities should not be advocated to teach selective courses in local dialect.
    Moreover, communicating only in local dialect will breed localism which does harm to the unity and stability of the whole country.

答案 Universities Should Open at Least One Selective Course in Local Dialect Recently, a survey has been made for the purpose of investigating whether it is suitable for universities to open at least one selective course in local dialect. According to the final result, some of the interviewees suggest that they agree with the view that universities should open at least one selective course in local dialect so as to highlight the local tradition as well as its distinctive culture, while the rest are on the opposite side since they think that it will make communication more difficult. From my own perspective, I believe that dialect should be used in at least one selective course for it can help protect the local culture, and help people gain a sense of belonging. First of all, since dialect is a symbol of the local culture as well as the heritage of a region, learning local dialect can be regarded as a necessary approach to protecting the local culture. There is no doubt that globalization is a double-edged sword and a threat to the diversity of culture. What’s more, dialect plays a very important role in our society and can be regarded as a token of identity in some places. Thus, teaching courses in local dialect can promote the protection of the local culture. Moreover, as an old saying goes, "Home is where the heart is and homesickness is an incurable illness wherever we are, unless we return to the place we miss most. " So, one will have a sense of belonging if someone talks with him in local dialect. Therefore, universities should be advocated to open at least one selective course in local dialect. To sum up, as one of the key elements of culture, local dialect should be used in university selective courses so that the local culture can be protected and a feeling of belonging can be gained.
