华文教育是中美人文交流的重要平台。以“中国寻根之旅”“华文教育·教师研习美国班”等为代表的华文教育项目对增进中美人文交流作出了独特贡献,得到社区学分认可、深化与主流社会的友好联系是华文教育融入主流的重要进展。
为促进中美人文交流,华文教育冬(夏)令营等活动主体可适度扩大到美国非华裔学生群体,本土化文化活动应向非华裔社区延伸,华文师资培训可向主流教育的中文教师开放。为进一步融入主流,华社、侨界应立足于族裔教育权利,争取主流社会对华文教育的认可与支持,如为中文学校免费或低收费提供校舍等;推动中文学校师资获得美国教师资格,填补主流教育的中文师资缺口;中文学校教学以吸收主流教育的理念和方法为重要原则。
<<Chinese language and culture education is an important platform for cultural exchanges between China and the United States. With the “Chinese teenagers roots China tour”,and the “American teachers of Chinese training course” working on behalf of the Chinese language and culture education programs by enhancing person-to-person exchange and cultural exchange between China and the United States a unique situation is created. The importance of such an exchange has been recognized by the international community,and deepening the friendly ties with mainstream society is an important step in the process of bringing Chinese language and culture education into the mainstream. In order to promote cultural exchanges between China and the United States,Chinese language and culture education in winter (summer) camp activities such can be moderately expanded to the non-Chinese students groups;local cultural activities extended to the non-Chinese community,and Chinese language teacher training extended to the mainstream education teachers in China. To further integrate into the mainstream,the Chinese community and the nation should be focused on ethnic education rights and fighting for the recognition and support from mainstream society for Chinese language education,such as providing free or low-cost Chinese school buildings,etc. Encouraging Chinese school teachers to obtain qualifications for teaching in the United States to fill the teacher gap in mainstream education in Chinese,and Chinese school teaching should be promoted in order to draw lessons from and absorb the mainstream educational ideals and methods for important principles.
