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.
