Problems and Countermeasures for Bilingual Education in Local Universities

Bilingual education is an important approach to the cultivation of interdisciplinary personnel with a mastery of a foreign language in higher education.The bilingual education in Chinese universities implies that a non-linguistic subject course is taught partially or wholly in a foreign language,whose primary attribute is sub- ject-orientedness and secondary the language instruction.Nowadays,however,there exist a lot of problems in the bilingual education in local universities,which calls for a holistic solution involving such factors as curriculum development,teaching material construction,teacher training,and reforms in the teaching mode and administra- tion.
