Abstract：Language-driven poverty alleviation has been increasingly seen as an important part of poverty alleviation, which has achieved remarkable results in the Chinese context. Wider community language education can increase the human capital of the poor and promote upward social mobility and social integration. The popularization of lingua franca also contributes to spreading the modern scientific and cultural knowledge among poverty afflicted population and thus to effectively block the inter-generational transmission of poverty. Furthermore, an all-round exchanges and cooperation among ethnic groups also benefit from language education to a great extent. Through examination of habitual practice and the effectiveness of language-driven poverty alleviation from perspectives of economy, linguistic capital and sociolinguistics, this paper attempts to argue that in order to win the battle of poverty alleviation with high quality, it is necessary to deal with the relationship between material poverty alleviation and intellectual poverty alleviation. In addition to this, it is also essential to emphasize the relationship between phased tasks and periodic work, and the relationship among the lingua franca, the minority languages and regional dialects in language-driven poverty alleviation effort. In the conclusion, we also highlight the importance of giving full consideration to the actual effectiveness achieved through language-driven poverty alleviation implementation.
