歐盟語言政策及其對臺灣雙語教育啟示之初探

A Preliminary Exploration of European Union’s Language Policies and The Implications for Taiwan’s Bilingual Education

本研究探討歐洲聯盟（EU）的語言政策，並檢視其對臺灣雙語教育的潛在影響。歐盟以其在語言政策和教育領域的廣泛經驗和顯著貢獻聞名，倡導了諸如創建歐洲共同語言參考框架和推廣多語言教育等措施。通過運用敘事性文獻分析和政策分析方法，本研究有五個發現：歐盟對語言多樣性的承諾，強調語言基本權利，倡導多語言和多元語言主義，英語作為歐盟內的通用語言，以及實施策略的多樣性。基於這些洞見，研究提出了三個啟示以增強臺灣的雙語教育：擁抱語言多樣性、平衡英語的顯著地位與多語言的豐富性、採用多元化的實施策略。這項研究提供了對語言政策及其對雙語教育可能轉變性影響的新視角，從歐盟的背景中提供寶貴的經驗，啟發臺灣的雙語教育願景。

This study delves into the language policies of the European Union (EU) and examines their potential implications for Taiwan's bilingual education (BE). Renowned for its extensive experiences and significant contributions in the domain of language policy and education, the EU has pioneered initiatives such as the creation of the Common European Framework of Reference for Language Learning and the promotion of multilingual education. Utilizing narrative literature review and policy analysis methodologies, this research yields five findings: The EU's commitment to linguistic diversity, the emphasis on linguistic rights, the advocacy of multilingualism and plurilingualism, the role of English as a lingua franca (ELF) within the EU, and the various implementation strategies. Drawing on these insights, the study proposes three implications for enhancing Taiwan's BE: embracing linguistic diversity, balancing the prominence of English with the richness of multilingualism, and adopting multifaceted strategies for implementation. This research offers a fresh perspective on language policy and its potential transformative impact on bilingual education, providing valuable lessons from the EU context to inform and inspire Taiwan's landscape of BE.
