20世纪60年代以来,我国外语教学过于紧跟现代语言学理论及其发展,呈献出形而上学化与教条主义等特点。所以,虽然成就很大,问题也很多。反思并重新发现传统的语文学范式的外语教育的积极成分,恢复文史哲人文经典在外语教学中应有的位置,正确处理语言学与文学、历史与当下以及中国文化与西方文化的关系,借鉴现象学、阐释学、语言哲学、实践哲学等后现代哲学对传统形而上学及经典语言学理论的制衡与互补,对于深化当前关于我国外语教育改革的讨论,真正走出自我认同的危机与困惑,重新设计外语学科与专业都是必要的。

Since the 1960s, China’s foreign language education has been too closely following the modern linguistics and its development. As a result, it has strayed into a narrowing path of metaphysicalization and dogmatization. Therefore, though China’s foreign language education has made great achievements, a lot of problems have also ensued in its development. To reflect, and rediscover the positive elements of the traditional philological foreign language education, restore the presence of the classics of literature, history, and philosophy in foreign language education, properly handle the relation between linguistics and literature, history and the present, and the relation between China and the western world, and draw on the different schools of postmodern philosophy such as phenomenology, hermeneutics, philosophy of language,practical philosophy etc. which check and balance metaphysics and dogmatism, is of much importance for China’s foreign language education to walk out of the current self-identity crisis and confusion, and the facelift of the discipline of foreign language education as a whole. Also it is essential for the current discussion and the further reform of foreign language education in China.
