This study conducts a comparative analysis of the effects on national foreign language capacity produced by Chinese and American national funding programs related to foreign language. Chinese national programs are those funded by the National Social Science Fund, Ministry of Education Fund for Humanities and Social Science, and Chi- na Scholarship Council. American national programs are Title VI and Fulbright-Hays ones. Based on the component framework of foreign language capacity, the study analyses the collected data by the method of keyword frequency. It shows that American national funding programs play a significant role in enhancing American national foreign language capacity. Meanwhile, China should establish more national foreign language funding programs, and improve the mod- el and range of the funding programs so as to enhance Chinese national foreign language capacity.
