Strategies for Advancing the Standard Spoken and Written Chinese Language in Ethnic Minority Areas in the New Era:A Case Study of the Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture,Sichuan Province
In the new era,the standard spo-ken and written Chinese language is an essential cultural,economic,security,and strategic re-source.Its influence and effectiveness have markedly increased within the broader context of the Party and the country's initiatives.Consequen-tially,during the"14th Five-Year Plan"period,it is deemed crucial to actively promote the high-quality development of standard spoken and written Chinese language and to implement projects aimed at its popularization and enhancement.This initia-tive will provide linguistic support for a comprehen-sive and profound integration of economic,social,linguistic,cultural,psychological,and emotional aspects in ethnic areas.This paper focuses on promoting the standard spoken and written Chinese language,fostering a strong sense of the Chinese national community,and improving language proficiency in ethnic re-gions.It aims to present a comprehensive survey on the depth and breadth of language promotion ef-forts in the Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture of Sichuan Province,analyzing the cur-rent state and developmental trends of language popularization in the new era.The study,moreo-ver,examines the content,practical applications,and outcomes of these efforts,aiming to provide ef-fective strategies for enhancing language proficien-cy in ethnic regions,summarizing replicable and promotable successful practices,and offering poli-cy recommendations for modernizing language gov-ernance systems in ethnic areas.The research reveals significant progress a-chieved in recent years through the concerted ef-forts of various levels of government and relevant departments.Key findings include 1)the imple-mentation of a standardization project across all ed-ucational levels,with schools as a primary focus;2)comprehensive training coverage for key groups,targeting the"four major areas"(schools,party and government organizations,media units,and public service sectors);3)the use of rural village services as a platform to promote extensive language training throughout the region;and 4)le-veraging east-west cooperation to utilize high-quali-ty resources for language promotion.These efforts have gradually contributed to developing the"Aba Experience"in promoting standard Chinese,which has proved to support the rural revitalization strate-gy in ethnic areas.In the new era,promoting the standard spo-ken and written Chinese language in ethnic areas should align with national and regional develop-ment goals and address the needs and expectations of ethnic communities.In addition,building on past experiences,it is considered essential to focus on intrinsic construction and high-quality develop-ment.Future efforts,therefore,should enhance the top-level design of language initiatives,refine promotion management mechanisms,strengthen re-gional promotion activities to support coordinated regional development strategies,and maintain in-tellectual aid to foster the language economy and industry.Additionally,advancing the construction of the language education system and expanding high-quality,balanced educational outcomes are believed to be crucial.Ultimately,promoting and popularizing standard spoken and written Chinese may contribute to a comprehensive development of ethnic areas,support the achievement of a moder-ately prosperous society,and ensure the country's long-term peace and stability.
