以英语学科为代表的外语课程最近成为社会热点话题,人们在各种媒体讨论中小学是否有必要开设英语课程、母语与外语学习的关系及相互影响、中高考是否应该考英语、外语考试的改革方向等方面的问题。笔者作为一名从事外语教学与研究数十年的工作者,结合了各方面人士的意见,也对外语教育的课程意义和考试改革发展进行了思考。 Foreign language courses represented by English subjects have recently become a hot topic in society. People discuss various primary and secondary schools in various media to find out whether it is necessary to set up English courses, the relationship between mother tongue and foreign language learning and their mutual influence, and whether the college entrance examination should test English and the examination reform of foreign languages Direction and other aspects of the problem. As a worker engaged in foreign language teaching and research for decades, I combine the opinions of people from all walks of life and also think about the significance of the curriculum and the examination reform and development of foreign language education.
