英国作为最大的语言输出国在很长的一段时期并不重视外语的教育。但在后殖民时代,英国的政府和民众越来越认识到外语学习的重要性。英国必须以更加开放的心态和更加有效的外语教育政策来推动英国民众的外语学习。因此近年来,英国教育技能部推出了《语言学习》和《全民的外语:生活的外语——外语教育发展战略》等重要文件。本文从解读文本入手,分析和论述了当前英国外语教育存在的问题、近期及长远的发展目标和发展战略的特点等。本文认为,在后殖民时代英国外语教育的政策呈现多元文化认同的趋势。多元文化认同是全球化时代不可避免的教育发展趋势,对我国目前制定新时期的外语教育政策有很大的借鉴意义。
The United Kingdom, as the largest language exporter, has not attached much importance to foreign language education for a long time. However, in the post-colonial era, the British government and the public are increasingly aware of the importance of foreign language learning. Britain must promote the foreign language learning of the British people with a more open mind and a more effective foreign language education policy. Therefore, in recent years, the British Ministry of Education and Skills has launched important documents such as “Language Learning” and “Foreign Languages for All: Strategies for Development of Foreign Language Education.” This article begins with reading the text, analyzes and discusses the current problems in the foreign language education in the UK, the recent and long-term development goals and characteristics of the development strategy. This article argues that in the post-colonial era British foreign language education policy showed a multi-cultural identity trend. Multicultural identity is an inevitable trend of education in the era of globalization, which is of great reference to the current formulation of foreign language education policies in our country.
