教育语言学自1972年诞生至今，已逐渐成为一门独立的学科。相对于国外教育语言学异军突起、百花齐放的迅猛发展势头，我国的教育语言学研究则存在研究领域单一、相关实证研究匮乏的窘境。文章通过梳理和分析国外教育语言学的发展概况，认为在面临战略转型的新时期，我国的教育语言学研究应聚焦于教育中的语言问题，以双语教育、语言服务、外语教学的生态观、移民/特殊群体的语言权利与教育、汉语的对外传播等话题为切入点，并对部分研究方法进行了介绍。

 Since its birth in 1972, Educational Linguistics has become an independent subject. Standing in stark contrast to the rapid growth and thriving development of Educational Linguistics abroad, relevant research in China is meeting the dilemma of narrow research field and lack of empirical studies. By presenting and analyzing the development of Education Linguistics research abroad, this paper suggests that in the present period of strategic transformation, Educational Linguistics research in China could focus on studies on bilingual education, language service, language teaching study from ecology perspective, language rights and language education of immigrants and special groups, overseas spread of Chinese, etc. Besides, part of the paper is devoted to an introduction of related research methods.
