东南亚语种教学的机遇、困境及挑战

Opportunities and Challenges in Language Teaching of Southeast Asia

在“一带一路”倡议的推动下,东南亚非通用语种在沿线国家发挥着越来越重要的作用,东南亚非通用语教学也备受教育界和各大高校的关注。对国内各大高校教授东南亚语种(如:泰语,缅语,柬埔寨语,老挝语,印尼语,越南语等)的15名非通用语教师进行了半结构式访谈,旨在研究非通语教师的教学经历和感受。研究发现,在新时代背景下,东南亚语种教学出现前所未有的机遇,如学生就业前景好;留学、旅游、外贸等方面具有语言优势等;然而,东南亚语种教学也面临着诸多困境和挑战,如教学资源匮乏、师资薄弱、教学任务重、科研能力弱、教师身兼数职等。因此,希望本研究能为非通用语教师在教学困境与挑战方面提供有益的借鉴和参考。

Under the promotion of“the Belt and Road”Initiative,the less commonly-taught foreign languages of Southeast Asia are playing increasingly important roles in the countries along“the Belt and Road”. The teaching of the less commonly-taught foreign languages of Southeast Asia has also attracted the attention of the education circles and higher institutions. In this study,15 Southeast Asian language teachers were interviewed through semi-structured interview. The study found that in the new era,Southeast Asian language teaching has unprecedented opportunities,such as good employment prospects for students;language advantages in studying abroad,tourism and foreign trade. However,Southeast Asian language teaching is also faced with many difficulties and challenges,such as the lack of teaching resources;heavy teaching tasks;weak research abilities;teachers who hold several posts and other challenges. Hopefully,this study will be conducive to less commonly-taught language teachers for providing useful suggestions and references in teaching.
