At the same time, according to the actual problem that the minority people don't understand Chinese in the process of popularizing the basic nine-year compulsory education in minority areas, it is decided to reform bilingual teaching, adopt minority language teaching materials and minority languages in schools that recruit minority students, and vigorously promote universal and standardized Putonghua to the whole country according to the actual situation.
Practice has proved that bilingual teaching is of great significance and function.
Bilingual teaching in some schools and ethnic schools in ethnic minority areas is organized and planned, which is conducive to the development of ethnic education and meets the needs of local people. In bilingual schools, national languages are used as teaching languages and textbooks are used in the teaching process. With the help of standard Mandarin, students can gradually learn Chinese and other scientific and cultural knowledge and successfully pass the Chinese language barrier. Students whose mother tongue is a minority language, who have little contact with Chinese, reduce the learning difficulties caused by language barriers brought by direct entry into the Chinese language environment, and can shorten the education process of children. Practice has proved that this teaching mode has improved the enrollment rate and is more conducive to the popularization of ethnic education and the improvement of teaching quality. Applied to adult literacy education, the effect is also very remarkable.
Bilingual teaching with equal emphasis on minority languages and Chinese is a means to implement multicultural education, which conforms to the development trend of today's world. Language is not only the carrier of culture, but also one of the important contents of culture. Teenagers in bilingual schools can not only learn the cultural knowledge of other nationalities, but also learn the culture and history of various nationalities through the study of their own languages, which is conducive to the preservation and development of national traditional culture. At the same time, with the development of China's economic construction and the deepening of reform, the exchanges between regions and ethnic groups are increasingly extensive, and a large amount of political, economic, cultural and scientific information is mainly spread in Chinese.
To learn Chinese well, ethnic minorities can fully learn from and use advanced experience and technology at home and abroad to develop their own social economy and culture. As a cross-national language, Chinese is also a necessary tool for communication, understanding and building a prosperous and stable society. At this point, bilingual teaching is particularly important.
