Abstract

This article considers the current debate in Australia into the learning of literacy and foreign languages. It examines not only the literacy levels attained by Australian students in their national language (English) in comparison to these in other countries, as well as between Australian states, but also theories involved in school learning and the learning of language, with particular reference to the learning of a foreign language. The article raises and discusses 12 issues that arise in language learning. It is noted that in many countries it is necessary for students to learn at least three languages, namely, the mother language, their national language and an appropriate foreign language, that make heavy demands on the time available in the curriculum of the schools if adequate levels of competence in language usage are to be attained.

语言学习中的问题

这篇文章考虑了澳大利亚目前关于读写能力和外语学习的争论。它不仅考察了澳大利亚学生在本国语言(英语)方面所达到的读写水平，与其他国家的学生相比，也考察了澳大利亚各州之间的读写水平，还考察了学校学习和语言学习的理论，特别是关于外语学习的理论。本文提出并讨论了语言学习中出现的12个问题。人们注意到，在许多国家，学生必须学习至少三种语言，即母语、本国语文和一门适当的外语，如果要达到适当的语言使用能力水平，这对学校课程的时间要求很高。

期刊介绍： The International Education Journal: Comparative Perspectives (IEJ) publishes original research about educational theory, policy and practice. We publish research about all stages and forms of education. As a comparative education journal, we are especially interested in work that is either explicitly or implicitly comparative. Explicitly comparative research includes cross-national studies or studies that compare educational phenomena in a range of countries. Implicitly comparative research typically means single nation case studies that contribute to a larger comparative framework about the topic. Such studies must show how the particular case is theoretically relevant for readers outside the given country. Studies that do not include such a contextual and theoretical rationale are often better suited in journals that specialize in the given topic (e.g., journals about science education, educational psychology, etc.).
