标准引领与价值提升——美国《21世纪外语学习标准》对民族地区大学英语教学的启示

Standard Guiding and Value Enhancement——Lessons Learned from US’s “21st Century Foreign Language Learning Standards” on College English Teaching in Ethnic Areas

在全球化背景下,世界各国纷纷提出外语教育改革举措,但我国外语教育改革略显滞后,民族地区尤为突出。美国《21世纪外语学习标准》改变了过去以外语知识作为核心的教学理念,突出外语学习中全球化视野、交际能力的培养和跨文化学习能力的养成,这对我国民族地区大学英语教学改革有较强的启发和借鉴意义。民族地区大学外语教学要及时更新教学观念,树立全球化外语教学意识;强化语言交际的目标与能力,加强文化沟通和对比;培养学生全球化的视野,打造复合型国际人才,从而实现标准引领下民族地区大学英语教学的价值提升。
