从外交政策分析约旦政府的外语政策

An Analysis of Jordan’s Foreign Language Policy from the Perspective of Foreign Policy

语言是不同国家、不同民族之间交往的重要媒介,为了顺利沟通,人们需要学习对方国家的语言,在某种程度上可以称之为外语。本文以约旦的外语政策为研究对象,试从外交政策的角度分析其外语语言政策的变化。20世纪20—40年代,约旦是英国的托管地,优先发展英语教育;随着国情和国际形势的发展变化,约旦实行基于英语的多元化的外语教育政策;进入21世纪,在"一带一路"倡议的推动下,约旦国内中文课程开设的数量和规模呈快速上升趋势。

Language is an important medium of communication between different countries and nationalities.In order to communicate smoothly,people need to learn the languages of other countries.Taking Jordan’s foreign language policy as the research subject,this paper tries to analyze the changes in Jordan’s foreign language policy from the perspective of foreign policy.Between the 1920 s and the 1940 s as a trusteeship of Britain,Jordan gave priority to developing English education.Along with the change of national conditions and international situation,Jordan began to implement a pluralistic foreign language education policy with English education as the foundation.Since entering the 21 st Century,under the impetus of the Belt and Road Initiative,both the number and scale of Chinese courses opened in Jordan have been increasing rapidly.
