The writer thinks that in China we teach English as a foreign language instead of a second language, that the bilingual education is the supreme level of the foreign language acquisition, and that the final goal of the bilingual education is to make learners simultaneously think and use Chinese and English in both ways as well as communicate with one another in two languages according to the situational context. Therefore, it is not easy to practice the bilingual education in a country like China, which is still poor in the English language context. But the situation will change as China enters WTO and the globalization speeds up.展开更多

The paper presents research results on readiness of non-Georgian schools to implement multilingual educational programs effectively. The research studied the important factors influencing the effectiveness of bilingual educational programs, specifically （1） type of program, （2） human resources of schools and teachers professional development, （3） bilingual education as shared vision for all school stakeholders, and （4） community and parental involvement in designing and implementation of bilingual educational programs. The following research methods were used during the research： （1） quantitative and qualitative content analysis of bilingual educational programs of 26 non-Georgian schools of Kvemo Kartli and Samtskhe-Javakheti regions of Georgia, （2） quantitative survey of non-Georgian school principals through questionnaires, and （3） quantitative survey of non-Georgian schools＇ teachers of different subjective groups through questionnaire. The study revealed that schools are implementing mostly ＂weak＂ bilingual educational programs. The schools implementing bilingual educational programs do not have sufficient human resources, bilingual education is not a shared vision for all school stakeholders and parents and community are not actively involved in designing and implementation of the programs.展开更多

Therefore, mastering some necessary bilingual competencies will present essential meaning for educators. In the case of language teachers who teaching in the ethnically plural countries, for instance, China, the United States, language teachers have to face to various difficulties on the process of teaching in the bilingual class. Currently, the advanced technology is gradually being applied into language teaching, and then provides a series of advantages on improving the quality of language teaching. Firstly, the essay will analyse the barriers which exist in the language class, which in the level of Chinese university. Secondly, it will systematically describe how ICT can help language teachers to solve difficulties on teaching and display diverse innovative technological tools of language teaching.展开更多

文摘Globalization and the soaring development of Chinese economy impose new requirements on bilingual instruction in Chinese higher education. It is the market economy mode of thinking that plays an important role in every respect of the cultivation of bilingual instruction. On this basis, the thesis explores the role of universities and colleges in terms of the strategy of bilingual instruction and the mechanism to inspire bilingual faculty and students.
文摘Under the trend of globalization and international financial integration,Chinese scholars have argued that executing bilingual education in the major of finance is necessary to advance the comprehensive quality and competitive ability of college students.However,universities attempting to implement bilingual education are procrastinated with many obstacles.To resolve this issue,corrective measures are to be given in the aspects of textbook publishing,professor training and curriculum adjustments.
