人類進入二十一世紀，交往更加密切，語言的作用更加突出。漢語正成為國際化程度發(fā)展最快的語言。隨著中國經(jīng)濟的快速發(fā)展、對外交往的日益廣泛和國際地位的不斷提高，世界各國對漢語學習的需求與日俱增。Language is a growing part of our lives in the 21st China continues to enjoy fast economic

estimated that 40 million people are learning mandarin worldwide, and the number of mandarin learners in Europe and the US is growing by 40% the slogan of a popular mandarin teaching program reads, “Learn Chinese and make friends all over the world!” This is quite true, not only as there are sizeable Chinese munities everywhere, but also because people from many parts of the world are united by

由于全球“漢語熱”形成的教學需求，孔子學院應運而生，同時，孔子學院的發(fā)展便利了海外漢語教學，促進“漢語熱”進一步升溫?？鬃訉W院正成為外國人學習漢語和了解中華文化的園地、中外文化交流的平臺、加強中國人民與各國人民友誼合作的橋梁。The Confucius Institutes were set up to respond to this helped to make the

在英國，“漢語熱”和孔子學院的興盛同樣同步發(fā)展、相得益彰。英國超過500所中小學開設了漢語課程，部分學校甚至將漢語列入了必修課。去年9月，英國政府將漢語列入了英國的“高考”——GCSE的正式科目。今年3月，我到任后不久就出席了在倫敦舉辦的第九屆“漢語橋”世界大學生中文比賽英國賽區(qū)預賽，英國大學生們高超的漢語水平以及對中國文化發(fā)自內(nèi)心的熱愛給我留下了深刻的印象。尤其可喜的是，英國賽區(qū)推薦的3名選手不久前赴華參加“漢語橋”復賽和決賽，最終全部獲獎，其中來自倫敦大學亞非學院的蔣思哲同學（Johnson Stewart）更是力拔頭籌，獲得了特等獎和“優(yōu)秀漢語語言使者”稱號。In the UK, mandarin learning and Confucius Institutes are growing in has been put on the curriculum of over 500 primary and secondary September, the British

孔子曰：“人無遠慮，必有近憂”。我們在為孔子學院蓬勃發(fā)展感到高興的同時，更應著眼于孔子學院的長遠發(fā)展。當前，孔子學院的發(fā)展正從數(shù)量向質(zhì)量轉變，由快速成長向可持續(xù)發(fā)展演進。這就需要更加優(yōu)質(zhì)的教材、合格的師資和適合當?shù)氐慕虒W方法，可以說挑戰(zhàn)在增加，任務更艱巨。我很高興地看到，本次會議主題確定為歐洲孔子學院的可持續(xù)發(fā)展。我確信大家將借會議之機，深入交流切磋，共商發(fā)展大計。As
