中国民族院校外语学科专业发展及其研究综观——基于民族高等教育学研究文献的考察

The Development of Specialties and Disciplines of Foreign Languages and Literatures in Universities for Nationalities in China——A Literature Review Based on Related Research Documents of Ethnic Higher Education Studies

中国民族院校外语专业学科发展在我国高等外语教育史和民族高等教育学中均无专题研究。基于中国民族高等教育学研究相关文献,文章从外语本专科教育专业设置、外语研究生教育学位点建设、外语学科专业特色化发展三个方面梳理出民族高等教育学视域中我国民族院校外语学科专业发展及其研究状况。结果表明,已有研究限于自身的研究目的和零星的资料未能全面反映我国民族院校外语专业学科发展的历史轨迹。因此,本文建议今后的研究应结合全国民族院校历史、国家民委民族教育统计和国家教育部专业学科设置统计数据以及相关研究文献对中国民族院校外语专业学科发展历程进行全面、系统的专题研究,为我国民族院校外语专业学科的科学规划和可持续发展提供有益资料与洞见。

So far, there has not yet been any monographic study on the development of disciplines and specialties of foreign languag-es and literatures in universities for nationalities (UNC) in both the historical research of foreign language higher education and ethnic tertiary education research in China. This paper, based on related research documents of ethnic higher education studies, describes the status quo of the research into the development of disciplines and specialties of foreign languages and literatures in UNC in terms of spe-cialty establishment for undergraduate education, discipline authorization for academic degrees and characterized development of disci-plines and specialty. This paper also points out that the existing research literature has not offered a panoramic view of the historical de-velopment of disciplines and specialties of foreign languages and literatures in UNC due to its research intention as well as its incomplete data. Therefore, it is suggested that the future study should be a special project on a comprehensive and systematic investigation into the historical development of disciplines and specialties of foreign languages and literatures in UNC by means of consulting the records of the historical development of the universities, the statistic data of education for ethnic minorities from SEAC (the State Ethnic Affairs Com-mission) and specialty establishment and discipline authorization from MOE (the Ministry of Education) of PRC as well as related re-search documents,and the future study can provide useful data and insights for scientific planning and better development of specialties and disciplines of foreign languages and literatures in UNC.
