自2019年起，台湾对来自东南亚国家的“新移民”实施母语教育。本文认为，新的教育规定反映了台湾政府的愿望，适当的新移民的文化和语言，以促进多元文化的视野，台湾的身份。本研究分析了十二年一贯的国家课程纲要和小学教材，以阐明语言教育在建构新移民话语中的作用，探讨这如何反映和强化台湾社会作为“多元文化”的官方描述。分析表明，课程承认移民的语言及其相关文化的扩展是如何推动的愿望，以项目的主流民族身份的某种愿景。通过展示在台湾背景下，他们的语言教学在某些方面如何加强了移民社区的边缘化，它提供了可能适用于其他地方的见解。
Since 2019, Taiwan has implemented native language education for ‘new immigrants’ from Southeast Asian countries. This paper argues that the new educational provisions reflect the Taiwanese government’s desire to appropriate new immigrants’ cultures and languages to promote a multicultural vision of Taiwanese identity. It analyses the 12-year national curriculum guidelines and the primary-level teaching materials to elucidate the role of language education in the construction of discourse on new immigrants, exploring how this reflects and reinforces official portrayals of Taiwanese society as ‘multicultural’. The analysis shows how the extension of curricular recognition to immigrants’ languages and their associated cultures is driven by a desire to project a certain vision of mainstream national identity. By showing how, in the Taiwanese context, instruction in their languages in some respects reinforces the marginalisation of immigrant communities, it provides insights that may be applicable elsewhere.
