摘要

Since the 21st century, both Mainland China and the United States have formulated foreign language education policies based on their national needs. This paper makes a comparative study of the value orientations of foreign language education poli-cies in Mainland China and the United States in the 21st century and finds that both China and the United States have regarded their national interests as the essential value orientation of their foreign language education policies. To be specific,the core value orientation of foreign language education policies in China is to enhance its cultural soft power.In contrast,the core value orienta-tion of foreign language education policies in the United States is to safeguard its national security. Through the comparison of the different value orientations of foreign language education policies of the two countries, the paper provides some reference for the for-eign language education policy-making in Mainland China.
