交叉学科背景下国际中文教育学科发展的困境与出路

The dilemma and outlet of international Chinese education development under the interdisciplinary background

国家设置“交叉学科”门类,这是我国学科发展的重要里程碑。通过梳理高等学校专业目录,考察并分析了国际中文教育本科、硕士、博士的专业归属,在此基础上总结了目前学科设置的问题与不足。我们发现,制约国际中文教育发展的突出问题是学科设置缺乏连续性,其本科、硕士、博士的设置分属于中国语言文学、教育学两大一级学科,而实际上国际中文教育人才培养的机构绝大多数来自中文学科的培养单位,这大大阻碍了国际中文人才培养的上升通道,国际中文教育毕业生的就业受到制约,同时学科归属错位,也带来课程设置、人才培养模式等系列问题。因此在国际中文教育快速发展的同时,要寻求新的增长点,需改变原有横跨两个学科的局面,使国际中文教育独立为一个特色交叉学科,并真正在学科布局中占有一席之地。

The establishment of"interdisciplinary"category by the state is an important milestone in the development ofdisciplines in China. This paper reviews and analyzes the disciplinary attribution of international Chinese education at bachelor’s,master’s and doctoral levels through comparing program catalogs of different colleges and universities,and then summarizes theproblems and deficiencies in the current discipline setting. We find that the prominent problem restricting the development ofinternational Chinese education is the lack of continuity in the setting of disciplines. Its bachelor’s,master’s and doctoralprograms belong to two different major first-class disciplines:Chinese language & literature and education. In fact,most of theinstitutions of international Chinese education belong to the discipline of Chinese language & literature,not education,whichseriously hinders the moving-up path of international Chinese teaching talents. The employment of international Chineseeducation graduates is restricted. At the same time,the dislocation of discipline identity also causes series of problems incurriculum setting,talent training models and other issues. Therefore,with the rapid development of international Chineseeducation,in order to seek new growth points,we need to change the current situation of dislocation between two disciplines,and make international Chinese education an independent interdiscipline with its unique characteristics so that it can really wina place in the layout of disciplines.
