英国少数民族语言教育政策理念演进及最新进展探析

A Study on Evolution of Minority Language Education Policy and Its Latest Development in Britain

为了帮助少数民族学生提高学业成就以及在英国社会的适应能力,一直以来英国少数民族语言政策都以提高少数民族学生的英语能力为主,经历了从英语作为外语到英语作为第二语言,再到英语作为附加语言的变化,其中折射出对移民性少数民族态度和教育理念的变化。进入新世纪,在强调国家认同和共同价值观的背景下,英国强化了少数民族学生的英语教学,制定相关标准、加大资金投入、注重个性化辅导等措施,这对我国少数民族语言教育政策有一定的启示。

In order to improve ethnic minority students＇ academic achievements and adaptability to British society, minority language policy in Britain has always focused on improving students＇ English ability. The changes from taking English as a foreign language （EFL）to English as a second language （ESL） and then to English as an additional language （EAL） reflect the changes in attitude towards and educational concepts about ethnic immigrants. In the new century, based on emphasis of national identity and common values, Britain has enhanced English teaching for ethnic students through measures of making related standards, increasing capital investment and attaching importance to individual coaching, which is of inspiration to minority language education policy in China.
