Abstract

Studying the foreign language education in schools set up by westernizationists may help to find some guidelines for today’s foreign language education. This article tries to discuss the foreign language education from the applied linguistics perspective in two aspects, namely, foreign language education as a specialty and foreign language education for special purposes. Findings show that foreign language education in schools founded by westernizationists attaching great importance to training language skills and improving humanistic competence, could meet the need of foreign language talents in business and diplomacy in Hubei, and could provide talents to meet the nationwide need as well. Therefore, today’s foreign language education planning should also help to improve students’ humanistic competence while attaching much importance to language skills training under the context of holistic education.
