我记忆中的北大留学生
我在北大生活的时间确实不短,自1955年至今整整55年——前5年是求学,后50年是执教,主要从事现代汉语的教学研究工作,并因此与来华留学生、与对外汉语教学结下了不解之缘。新中国的留学生教育肇始于1950年7月清华大学正式设立“东欧交换生中国语言专修班”,并于两年后成建制调整进入北京大学。怎样在最短的时期内,让留学生们尽快、尽好地掌握汉语,也成为北大中文系研究与教学的一项新课题和新任务。由于这一机缘,我在作学生求学、以及后来留校任教的不同阶段,跟许多国家留学生接触交往过。在学生时期,记得大二的时候,系里从专业课程中分出一个语言班,与我同班学习的就有两位苏联学生,当时针对来华留学生采取的是和中国学生同堂上课的方式,但是在课外有中国学生一对一地辅导他们。我的同班同学、后来成为我爱人的马真(北大中文系1955级学生,毕业后留校任教,任北大现代汉语教研室教授,现已退休)就曾经辅导过一位莫斯科大学前来进修的老师。北大是外国留学生十分向往的求学之地,能够来到燕园学习,他们的积极性都很高。当时的教学中还包括很多劳动的环节,他们也与我们一同参加,没有什么特殊的地方。
