关于提高外语教师科研水平的思考——由《外语界》十年来发表的文章想到的

Reflections on Improving the Research Ability of Foreign Language Teachers——Based on the Articles Published in Foreign Language World in the Past Ten Years

通过对《外语界》十年来发表的文章进行研究发现,外语的"工具化"、外语的"商业化"、外语研究的"形而上"以及外语研究成果发表的"困难化"是导致外语教师科研水平相对较低的主要原因。外语教师应更多地从事与外语教学相关的研究,从教学中寻找研究课题,并把研究成果应用于外语教学,使外语教学与外语研究相辅相成、相互促进。

A study of the articles published in Foreign Language World in the past ten years reveals that the major factors affecting the scientific research by foreign language teachers are the ＂instrumentalization＂ and ＂commercialization＂ of English language as well as the ＂metaphysicization＂ of foreign language research and the ＂difficulties＂ in making the research results published. It is held that foreign language teachers should engage more in studies related to foreign language teaching. Foreign language teaching can provide research questions to the corresponding research, the results of which would be applied to improve foreign language teaching. Thus, a mutually beneficial relationship will be built between foreign language teaching and research.
