Abstract:

After analyzing the current conditions of and constraints on the development of foreign language studies in higher education,the authors of this paper propose ten strategies for the development of this discipline in this new era,which include making a medium-and long-term plan of its development,establishing the academic norms of this discipline,setting up a certification system for foreign languages teachers,making macro-level readjustment of the discipline through academic assessment,strengthening the studies of less-widely used foreign languages,increasing output of original research,finding gaps for development breakthroughs by integrating foreign language studies with Chinese studies,and striving for greater room for development by proactively docking foreign language studies with the national development strategy.
