为改变我国英语教学普遍“费时低效”的现实，满足学生个人和社会发展的需求，双语教学这种“新型”的教学模式被广泛讨论。实际上，双语教学在我国早有渊源，清末教会学校中便出现过双语教学。本文梳理了清末到现在百余年间双语教学的历史，旨在分析其历史发展特点，并总结其主要历史经验，即：（1）双语教学应保证民族尊严；（2）双语教学需要丰富的外语资源；（3）双语教学应考虑学生外语水平。期望对后面的研究提供一些参考。

 Bilingual education was introduced as a new type of teaching mode to solve the problems of time-consuming and poor efficiency in Chinese English teaching, and to satisfy the individual and national development needs. In fact, China’s bilingual education has a long history which can be traced back in the Missionary Schools of China in the late Qing Dynasty. This article combed the history of China’s bilingual education in the last hundred years and tried to dig out its characteristics in different historical phases. Moreover this article summed up the historical experiences of China’s bilingual education: firstly, bilingual education should be carried out on the basis of national dignity. Secondly, bilingual education required abundant language resources. Thirdly, the students’ English proficiency level should be considered in the bilingual education.
