在一次以“推广汉语的战略”为主旨的研讨会上,分话题之一是“母语教育与外语教育”。我在发言中提出,我们还缺少一个上位概念,一个能够把母语教育和外语教育涵盖起来的概念,这个概念就是“语言教育”。我们常常谈论母语教育,也常常谈论外语教育,却还不习惯把母语和外语纳入一个统一而谐调的框架来讨论当代中国语 At a seminar focusing on “Strategies for Promoting Chinese”, one of the sub-topics is “Mother tongue education and foreign language education ”. In my speech, I said that we still lack a superordinate concept, a concept that can cover both mother tongue education and foreign language education. The concept is “language education.” We often talk about mother-tongue education and often talk about foreign language education. However, we are not used to discussing contemporary Chinese with incorporating a mother tongue and a foreign language in a unified and harmonious framework
