关于
部分家长尽全力培养孩子的普通话能力,却未曾意识到此举忽视了众多方言本身的魅力;另一部分家长认为多语教育要从小抓起,让孩子在幼儿园初期就接触各种语言。在国际化经济形势驱动下,很多家长更希望孩子可以说一口如母语般流利的国际主导性语言(如英语),导致使用人口基数较小的语种逐渐淡出语言教育的视野。为防止语种流失导致的文化多样性缺失,我们特邀来自中美两地专门研究非主导性语言保护和推广的嘉宾们,来为大家分享他们在相关语言保护和推广工作过程中所作出的努力以及对于多语言能力培养的见解和建议。
About
Many non-dominant languages and dialects are at the edge of becoming extinct due to economic and political advantages advocated and consolidated by governments and markets. Globalization also accelerates the process of linguistic disappearance. However, when a language is lost, so is the culture. In this panel, we invite guests to explain the significance of language diversity, share their efforts and thoughts of language preservation and restoration, and offer educators and social workers suggestions about language preservation at the family, school, and governmental levels.
