一直以来,澳大利亚政府都十分重视语言人才的培养,把语言视作一种可利用的资源,并且通过合理的语言教育政策实现了多种语言、多种文化和谐并存。研究澳大利亚多元文化主义背景下语言教育的发展历程,对于制定符合我国国情的语言政策具有一定的借鉴意义。 All along, the Australian government attaches great importance to the cultivation of language talents, language as an available resource, and through a reasonable language education policy to achieve a multilingual, multi-cultural coexistence. Studying the course of the development of language education in the context of multiculturalism in Australia is of some reference for formulating a language policy that is in line with China’s national conditions.
