Current Situation,Influence Factors and Suggestions of the Standard Chinese Language Ability with Ethnic Population in China
Promoting and popularizing the standard Chinese language is an important way to forge the sense of com-munity for Chinese nation.Based on the data of CHES and CGSS,it is found that the standard Chinese language ability of all ethnic groups is on the rise,and the gap of language ability between ethnic groups is narrowing.The formation of na-tional lingua franca ability is influenced by individuals,families,schools and communities.Education level,living arrange-ment,family economic status,boarding,mobility experience and Internet use are positive predictors,while the number of compatriots and bilingual teaching are negative predictors.Ethnic identity is closely related to individual's standard Chi-nese language ability,and children of interracial marriage of parents are significantly better than those of non-interracial marriage.We should comprehensively strengthen the education of standard Chinese language,actively promote Mandarin and Chinese characters in ethnic minority areas,make full use of the critical period of individual language development,and ensure that children of all ethnic families master common language tools for communication.
