外国文学教研的重要方向之一，是人民群众在教育中的获得感，这是从人民中心思想得出的逻辑推导。讲好中国故事中所包含的思想也凸显了文学这种感性资源对于人民教育的重要性。要让外国文学教研增强有效性，可能需要我们重构外国文学史，构建一个健硕的认知框架。在这种认知框架中，要讲清文学与文学理论所参与建构的人类关系历史之重点，辩证对待“正典”所构建的已有文学史，让中国价值，伦理的、审美的、政治的，与外国文学相互发明。在与学生互动中共建这样的认知框架时，尤其要有地缘政治意识。此外，跨学科的外国文学教研特别值得推荐，因为当代现实中，其他学科，例如金融学，有利于拓展文学学生的思维空间，提高其复杂性与韧性。

One of the important directions in the teaching and research of foreign literature is the people’s sense of gain in education, as can be logically deduced from Xi Jinping’s people-centered thought. The ideas contained in the instruction to “Tell Chinese stories well!” also highlight the importance of literature, as aesthetic resources, for people’s education. To enhance the effectiveness of foreign literature teaching and research, we need to reconstruct the history of foreign literature and build a robust cognitive framework, in which we clarify the key points of the history of human relations constructed by literature and literary theories, dialectically treat the existing literary histories constructed by the “canon”, and push for Chinese values to interact with foreign literature. In constructing such a cognitive framework in communication with students, it is especially necessary to have heightened geopolitical awareness. In addition, interdisciplinary approach is recommended, for other disciplines, such as finance, will prove to be able to stretch thinking and improve students’ mental sophistication and spiritual resilience.
