Cultivating Linguistic Talents From an Interdisciplinary Perspective: Advantages and Challenges

Han XIAO

Abstract


This paper explores the complex task of cultivating linguistic talents within an interdisciplinary framework. It argues that linguistic education benefits greatly from incorporating insights and methodologies from other disciplines, such as psychology, sociology, cognitive science, and technology. The paper first discusses the advantages of such an interdisciplinary approach, highlighting its potential to enhance linguistic competence, broaden students’ perspectives, and foster creativity and innovation. Subsequently, it acknowledges the challenges associated with implementing interdisciplinary linguistic education, including curriculum design, teacher training, and assessment methods. The paper concludes by suggesting strategies to overcome these challenges and advocating for a more holistic and integrated approach to linguistic education.
