全球语言教育共同体倡议（北京2021）

Global Language Education Community Initiative (Beijing 2021)

语言是文明传承的载体，是文明交流的桥梁，是文明进步的动力。全球70多亿人每天使用数千种语言交流沟通，传承创新。然而，伴随着全球化、信息化、智能化的加速发展，人类语言正面临前所未有的挑战，一些语言在全球化中消亡，一些语言在信息化中落后，一些语言在智能化中停滞不前。全球语言教育出现了资源分布不平衡、人才供需不平衡、区域发展不平衡等突出问题。新时代呼唤全球大学秉承共同体理念，推进全球语言教育合作。

Language preserves civilizations, bridges the exchanges between them, and fuels their progress. Each day, more than 7 billion people across the world use thousands of languages for exchanges, communication, inheritance and innovation. However, as the world embraces accelerated globalization, digitalization and smart transformation, human languages are facing unprecedented challenges. Some are disappearing due to globalization; some are falling behind in the digital world; and others have ceased evolving in the smart technology era. Language education faces major problems including unequal distribution of resources, imbalance between supply and demand of skilled personnel, and regional disparities worldwide. The new era calls on universities everywhere to adopt the notion of a global community and promote global cooperation on language education.

愿景

Our Vision

语言对于国家富强、人民幸福、世界和平、人类福祉具有至关重要的作用。在此，我们倡议建设全球语言教育共同体，服务人类命运共同体构建。

Language plays a vital role in ensuring national prosperity and strength, world peace, and human well-being. We hereby propose to initiate the Global Language Education Community that serves the purpose of building a community with a shared future for mankind.

起始于语言，不止于语言。语言教育立足语言教学与研究，服务社会发展，促进文明互鉴。不断创新是语言教育发展的永恒动力，密切合作是语言教育共同体的相互承诺。

Language education extends beyond language learning. Rooted in language teaching and research, language education serves social progress and facilitates mutual learning among civilizations. Continuous innovation is a perpetual driver for language education, and close collaboration is the common commitment within the Global Language Education Community.

让我们携手并进，迎接挑战，开拓创新，共筑全球语言教育的美好未来。

Let us join hands, rise to the challenges, and build a better future of global language education with pioneering and innovative spirit.
