摘　　要：文献研究发现，美国遵循单语主义传统，固守英语的霸主地位。其K-12学校的外语学习经历了从20世纪50年代前的步履维艰，到后人造卫星时代对外语学习大刀阔斧地改革，再到21世纪着眼于国家安全和利益的外语学习战略政策调整，并带来了外语学习领域内教学与评估的新进展。尽管美国民众对外语学习的成效众说纷纭，但其价值与意义得到了广泛认同。笔者认为，美国外语学习政策的演变一方面表明了美国支持个人全面发展、获得乐趣、增加学术或认知利益的一贯立场；另一方面，体现了美国社会将外语学习上升到保障国家安全、经济繁荣、社会稳定的战略高度的深刻认识。这对我国外语学习的语种规划、战略利益调整以及推进主体等都具有积极的借鉴意义。Literature. research finds that there is a monolingual tradition in America, adhering to thedominance of English.
