关于少数民族聚居区三语教育研究意义的思考

Necessity of Trilingual Education in Minority Inhabited Regions

国外在三语教育和三语习得研究领域已做了许多探索,而国内在这一研究领域尚属起步阶段。随着英语教育的普及,少数民族聚居区已经开始从传统意义上双语(民族语和汉语)教育转向三语(民族语、汉语和英语)教育,这一方面为国内学者研究三语现象和三语教育提供了社会环境,另一方面,目前我国少数民族聚居区实施的三语教育(学)还存在诸多制约因素,对这一领域进行研究和探讨具有重要的理论意义和现实价值。

There have been many researches in foreign countries on trilingual education and trilingual acquisition. However, there is no research as yet at home. With the popularization of English education in the regions inhabited by the minority nationalities, the traditional bilingual （ethnic language and Chinese） education has turned into trilingual education （ethnic language, Chinese and English） . On one hand, it provides the social environment for the Chinese researches , on the other hand, there still exists some obstacles to practicingtrilingual education in minority inhabited regions. Therefore, the research in this area is of great significance and value.
