本論文的研究重點在於呈現台灣戰後語言政策與政治的關聯性(1945-迄今).台灣的語言生態呈續著日治時代語言衝突的現象,只是對象換成國語-北京語與島內其它語言互相作權力拉鋸.國民政府運用官方權力實行國語政策,在施行的過程中,官方制定的法令施行手段及政策下所產生的庶民經驗,為本論文二三章討論的重點. 四、五兩章則是藉由在台灣語言政策下所成立的華語教學機構,觀察出台灣的華語教學受到幾股政治勢力的影響,如宗教、外國勢力、台灣本地政府機構.研究結果顯示:台灣的華語教學是庇蔭在濃厚的國族主義下而茁壯的.在筆者訪談身為華語政策的執行與承擔者-華語教師本身的教學經驗,並加以研究分析後發現:比起台灣本地其它體制內的教育機構,華語教育的教師經驗呈現出一個有別於台灣本地所謂正統教育下一貫、單一的內容. 結論部份則是將台灣四十多年來的華語教學作一總的源流分析,並且將90年代華語教學的新面貌作一具有前瞻性的未來展望.
