讨论学科的国家意识不应脱离国家的学科需求和学科自身的规律。学科分类布局是国家全方位战略发展的重要组成部分。学科划分的依据不是国家的发展战略需求而是人类知识系统。国家学术水准的高度是通过各学科的发展水平体现的,国家对人类的知识贡献也是由各学科在各自领域里做出的。外语专业目前所开展的无视学科特性的外语学科的“国家意识”的讨论不仅暴露出一些学者混淆了外语教育与外语专业学科教育的根本概念,更是表明外语专业学科虽然经历了70年的发展,但其专业学科性并没有完全确立。

The discussion of disciplinarity in terms of national consciousness should distinguish the general and the disciplinary needs of a country, respecting the shaping principles of disciplines. The present disciplinary system in China, which is an indispensable part of the all-round national strategic development, is constructed strictly in line with the disciplinary systems acknowledged worldwide. The disciplines a country has reflect its academic standard,and the academic contribution of a country is measured on the basis of the disciplines as well. The current discussions in the foreign language sector that overstress the importance of national consciousness at the expense of the integrity of disciplines have confounded the basic concepts of foreign language teaching and foreign language disciplinary education. This shows in a way that although foreign language disciplinary education has developed for 70 years, it has not securely established its disciplinary identity in the knowledge system.
