埃塞俄比亚孔子学院课程体系研究

Curriculum system of the Confucius Institutes in Ethiopia

埃塞俄比亚孔子学院(简称埃塞孔院)成立10多年来,立足于当地需求,开发了多样化的课程,形成了初具特色的课程体系。文章通过对埃塞2所孔院课程设置及教学情况进行实地调研,发现埃塞孔院课程体系存在以下问题:汉语兴趣课缺少统一的教学大纲,课程体系不完善;文化课程内容大多涉及浅层面文化,对当代中国文化介绍不足;中文专业课程设置不科学,课程体系不成熟;各阶段中文教育发展不平衡,基础教育阶段中文课程体系薄弱。基于此,提出以下建议:制定统一的基础汉语课程大纲,推动中文兴趣班纳入所在大学教育体系;改进语言传播方式,加强当代中华文化和深层次文化的推介;加强中文专业课程建设,构建多元化的课程体系;扩大基础教育阶段中文教学,推动中文纳入埃塞国民教育体系,以提高埃塞孔院课程质量,推动埃塞中文教育高质量发展。

Over the past decade since its establishment,the Confucius Institutes in Ethiopia have developed a diversified curriculum based on local needs and formed a characteristic curriculum system.Through the field research on the curriculum and current status of teaching activities of the two Confucius Institutes in Ethiopia,the following problems have been found.The Chinese interest classes do not have a unified teaching syllabus or a complete curriculum system.The cultural courses mostly focus on the superficial aspects of Chinese culture rather than providing an adequate introduction to contemporary Chinese culture.The Chinese language specialized courses are not very well-designed,and the curriculum system is not mature enough.There is an imbalance in the development of Chinese education at various stages.The curriculum system is weak in the stage of basic education.Based on these problems,the following suggestions are proposed.Efforts should be made to develop a unified basic Chinese language curriculum outline and incorporate the Chinese interest classes into the education systems of relevant universities,improve the ways to disseminate the Chinese language and promote contemporary and in-depth Chinese culture,strengthen the specialized courses of the Chinese language and establish a diversified curriculum system,expand Chinese language teaching in the basic education stage and promote the inclusion of Chinese language education in the national education system of Ethiopia to improve the quality of Chinese language courses at Confucius Institutes and promote the high-quality development of Chinese language education in Ethiopia.
