Abstract:
The Chinese government aspires for inclusive education to serve as an exemplary model in addressing educational inequity issues and establishing a responsible global image as a major power. Nevertheless, there has been limited focus on China\'s news media coverage concerning its inclusive education initiatives aimed at international audiences. To bridge this gap, this study employed a corpus-assisted critical discourse analytic approach to examine China\'s self-image in relation to its inclusive education endeavours. Seventy-three English-language news articles from the official channel were retrieved for meticulous line-by-line concordance analysis. The results indicate that out of the 520 co-occurring instances, they can be broadly categorised into four groups: efforts to develop inclusive education (65.4%); consensus on benefits of inclusive education (24.5%); challenges faced by inclusive education (4.8%); and others (5.4%). This study illuminates the effective utilisation of official media in the image construction of inclusive education in China.
摘要:
中国政府希望包容性教育成为解决教育不公平问题和树立负责任的全球大国形象的典范。然而,中国新闻媒体对其面向国际受众的包容性教育倡议的报道关注有限。为了弥合这个差距,本研究采用语料库辅助的批判性语篇分析方法来研究中国的自我形象与包容性教育的关系。检索了来自官方频道的73篇英语新闻文章,以进行细致的逐行一致性分析。结果表明,在520个共同发生的实例中,它们可以大致分为四类:发展包容性教育的努力(65.4%);关于包容性教育益处的共识(24.5%);包容性教育面临的挑战(4.8%);和其他(5.4%)。本研究阐明了官方媒体在中国融合教育形象建构中的有效利用。
