双语教学的目标与外籍教师的作用分析

一般认为,双语教学的目的,就是用教学语言来促使语言能力的发展。然而,高等外语院校非外语专业的双语教学,其特定的教学对象、教学环境、培养目标,要求双语教学的目的必须是以提高学生的专业素养为主,以提高学生的外语能力为辅。要实现这一双语教学目标,外籍教师的作用不可或缺。

＂To help the non-native speakers have a good command of English by delivering lessons in English＂ has generally been believed to be the aim of bilingual education. Given the specific conditions in international studies institutions, this aim should be revised as to prioritize the students＇ academic training instead of English skills. And the international teachers＇ participation is absolutely necessary.
