中国外语教材研究30年:回顾与展望

Reviewing research on foreign language textbooks in China over the past thirty years:retrospection and prospect

基于中国知网258篇CSSCI论文和24篇博士论文,对我国近30年来的外语教材研究进行了回顾和分析。结果表明:国内外语教材研究主要采取了质性分析、定量分析与混合分析三种方法,研究内容涉及编写设计、教材内容、评价与评估、教材使用、教材推介、历史发展、教材与教师发展七大主题。总体而言,外语教材研究发展呈现出主题纵深化、理论体系化、方向本土化和方法多元化的特征。因而提出建议:我国学界应加强横向和纵向视角的外语教材国际比较和历时分析研究,同时也需重视外语教材研究在不同学段之间的平衡与衔接,尤其要关注后疫情时代混合式立体化教材建设。
