摘要
新中国成立以来,我国外语教育(本文主要指英语教育,包括英语专业和非英语专业)事业在取得长足进展的同时也存在着许多不容忽视的问题。究其原因,第一,我国的外语教育战略不但缺少科学规划,而且没有紧跟时代发展的步伐培养创新思维和创新能力,以至于未能顺应社会经济发展对各种外语人才的需要;第二,我国外语教育战略决策长期以来忽视了外语学习在本国文化国际传播中的决定性作用,中外文化传播与交流长期以来呈现明显的不平等,最终影响的是我国的国际软实力竞争力。有鉴于此,我国的外语教育战略必须进行重新定位,外语教学必须进行脱胎换骨的改革,科学规划外语教育使之既实现经济全球化时代对人才的实际市场需求培养目标又服务于国家安全战略,对于我国政治、经济和国家安全乃至中华民族的强盛有着十分重要的战略意义。
The teaching of foreign languages （English in particular, including TEFL to English majors and non-English majors） has witnessed remarkable progress since the founding of New China. Problems, however, still exist in various aspects. Two underlying reasons account for the emergence and existence of these scenarios. The first is that China＇s teaching of foreign language falls short of scientific planning in a comprehensive way so as to interfere with the cultivation of critical thinking and innovative competence. The second is that foreign language education and teaching in China passes over the decisive role of foreign languages in the country＇s publicity of Chinese culture on the world stage. The imbalance of sino- foreign communication and exchange has ultimately affected the country＇s soft strength competition in the international community. China＇s foreign language education strategy has hitherto been demanding reorientation and thorough reform to be in line with the national strategies and the market demands in the globalized world. The planning and orientation of foreign language education policies are of strategic importance to the polities, economy and national security as well as the prosperity of the Chinese nation.
