Highlighting foreign language pedagogy as a branch of philosophical research, it is crucial for the study of thought, cognitive processes, and ways of thinking, influencing educational behaviors. In January 2024, foreign language pedagogy was officially designated as a secondary discipline under foreign language and literature, elevating its academic status. Although discussions on foreign language pedagogy have existed, they lacked systematicity. The ten papers published in this column explore foreign language pedagogy from various dimensions, including the first principles of foreign language education, discipline construction, philosophical foundations, the alignment between curriculum standards and teaching guidelines, talent development programs, research literacy of university foreign language teachers, enhancement of teachers' literary素养, commonalities and distinctions between non-universal and universal language education, the development of foreign language pedagogy from a bibliometric perspective, and the current status and strategies of foreign language education at the junior high school level. The authors of these papers are all seasoned scholars in the field of foreign language education, possessing rich practical experience and keen academic insight, aiming to advance foreign language pedagogy at both tactical and strategic levels.
