试论应用型本科院校_大学英语_教学改革的必要性_陈丽兰

［基金项目］华南理工大学广州学院校级教改项目(项目编号:JY110309)。 ［作者简介］陈丽兰(1979－)，女，华南理工大学广州学院外语学院讲师，硕士，主要从事外国语言学与应用语言学研究。 试论应用型本科院校“大学英语” 教学改革的必要性陈丽兰 （华南理工大学广州学院外语学院，广东 广州510800） ［摘要］在大学英语改革的新形势下，要培养既能够服务地方，又能满足企业需求的应用型人才，地方应用型大学应 着力在“大学英语”课程的开设形式、教学内容及教学方法等方面进行改革，以学生为主体，根据不同院系、不同专业学生的不同需求开设相应的“大学英语”课程，密切联系实际，不断增加学生的语言输入，强化学生的语言输出能力，从而实现大学英语教学的目标。 ［关键词］教学改革;地方应用型本科院校;教学方法;教学内容;大学英语 ［中图分类号］H319［文献标志码］A ［文章编号］1008-5823（2014）10-0128-02［收稿日期］2014－05－28 为了改变“大学英语” 教学费时低效的问题，从20世纪末到21世纪初的十多年时间里，我国的教育主管部门和教学一线的英语教师做出了很大努力，开 展了一系列“大学英语”教学改革，制定了改革纲要和一系列的改革措施，实施了众多的理论研究和实践教 学研究。2003年，教育部正式启动“大学英语”教学改革，其主要内容是：将“大学英语”教学目标确定为培养学生的英语综合应用能力，特别是听说能力；实施基于计算机和课堂的大学英语教学模式；将形成性评估和终结性评估相结合；注重发展学生的自主学习能力。实践证明，大学英语教学改革的方向是正确的［1］ 。但是，随着各地应用型本科院校的不断增多，大学毕业生的就业压力越来越大。怎样才能培养出社会与企业都需要的专业好、英语能力强的复合型国际化人才是所有大学英语教师都在考虑的一个问题。 一、改革的必要性和紧迫性经过长期的改革，我们可以看到大学英语教学改革取得了很大的进步和成就，但是，我们同时也可以看到，2013年8月全国大学英语四、六级考试委员会刚刚对CET －4进行了改革，复旦大学等高校提议取 消或大幅度减少“大学英语”课程；最近江苏、北京、山东等地提出的高考改革方案基本上都是从英语入手， 减少了英语在高考中所占的分值。针对这些改革，有人支持，也有不少人提出反对意见。不少专家认为，现实的情况不是大学生的英语学得很好，而是学习的英语知识不够实用，正如不少大学生反映“在学校里学到的东西毕业后基本都忘了，在工作需要时好像都不会讲！”所以，现实的矛盾是一方面大家都觉得英语课枯燥乏味，书本内容未与现实需要相接轨，另一方面，大家在实际生活中又迫切需要实用的英语知识进 行交流。对于以就业为导向的应用型本科院校来说， 学生的英语基础普遍较差，而面临的就业压力使得掌握实用的英语知识对学生尤为必要和紧迫！因此，需 要在新形势下进一步改革“大学英语”教学。 二、“大学英语”课程的开设形式 传统的“大学英语”课程都是全校统一设置，是一种通识教育，以学生通过大学英语四级考试为教学目 标。作为应用型本科院校，更应该注重学生在实际中应用英语的能力，以学生将来在职场上的语言应用为目标，进行职业英语教育，为此，大学英语教师应当顺应时代，做出新的改革和调整。 (一)根据不同院系的需求，开设不同的“大学英语”课程 在强调实用性、国际化的大背景下，开展英语通识教育已经不能满足应用型大学的学生语言需求，学院应该根据不同院系学生的不同需求开设不同的“大学英语”课程，实行订单式的大学英语教学；同时，可以让英语老师深入各个院系，学习各个院系的专业知识，运用英语讲授专业课。 (二)根据不同学生的需求，开设不同的“大学英语”课程 学院可以根据学生的不同需求开设不同的“大学英语”课程，针对大学一年级的学生可以进行听、说、读、写的分别训练，尤其注重听力和阅读的输入，只有达到一定程度的输入才能进行有效的输出。在经过大学一年级大量的输入和输出练习后，学生的英语基本功提高了，学院可以在大二年级以及此后的学习中结合学生的专业和就业需求，开设相关的专业英语课程和职业英语课程；如果学生需要进一步提高自己的英语应用能力，学院可以开设针对性较强的听、说、 第30卷第10期Vol．30No．10 兰州教育学院学报 JOUＲNAL OF LANZHOU INSTITUTE OF EDUCATION 2014年10月Oct．2014

浅论民办应用型本科院校大学英语课程建设

浅论民办应用型本科院校大学英语课程建 设 摘要：本文重点是针对民办应用型本科院校的大学英语课程建设进行研究分析，从而完善应用型本科院校大学英语课程体系，为提升大学生的英语应用能力提供一定的参考。 关键词：应用型；本科院校；大学英语；课程建设 引言：近些年我国英语教育更多注重理论性教育，其应用能力相对较差，这不适应我国经济和社会发展的需要。为了培养更多应用型人才，民办应用型本科院校英语教学就需要起到关键性的作用，只有如此才能够不断提升我国英语人才的应用水平。在这个背景下，优化民办应用型本科院校大学英语课程，完善课程体系就显得极为关键。 一、本科应用型人才培养内涵 本科应用型人才具有自身相对特殊的知识结构和学术水平以及层次结构，这一点和传统的本科人才培养有着明显的区别。应用型人才的培养模式更多体现在目标、过程和途径以及质量监督等方面，要遵循和应用实践相关的高等教育人才培养模式。所以应用型本科人才培养核心就是将理论和实践应用相结合来开展。因此针对应用型英语人才的培

养，就需要为本科学生提供一套完善的基于应用的大学英语课程，从而符合应用型英语人才培养模式的需要，其中英语课程设置合理，体现出英语的应用功能，只有这样才能够有效提升民办应用型本科院校大学英语教学水平。 二、构建民办应用型本科院校大学英语课程 （一）注重基础知识课程的建设。英语基础知识无疑是提升应用型英语人才的重要基础，作为一种语言知识，其本身也是很多学生学习的重要目标，掌握英语知识不仅仅是为了提升学生的知识面，或者为了应付考试提升考试成绩，而是将语言运用到各个行业中，从而实现对英语知识的实践应用。根据现代语言研究表明，语言输入是表达的基本条件，如果没有厚实的语言输入，那么就很难有效表达自身的想法，从而造成语言运用的短板。另外缺乏语言知识必要的技能训练，那么语言学习就是空中楼阁，并不能够应用到现实生活中。所以在大学英语课程建设上，要注重增加音、形和义的基础课程，并且组织相关教育部门和专家学者，针对应用型人才的基础知识教材的编写，同时在教学上要加大基础知识课程的教学时间，并且创新教学方法，从而提升学生对基础知识的掌握深度。 （二）完善语言技能课程建设。在应用型大学英语课程建设方面，要强调语言基本功和应用基本功并重，让学生在学习英语过程中要树立能力本位思想，充分意识到能力培

Every year, almost 2 million Americans are injured while they're 1 work. Every day, 240 are killed on the job. The 2 job is cutting down trees. Being a policeman is safer than many jobs, including driving a truck, collecting garbage and 3 airplanes. One of the safest jobs is being a librarian. The government inspects(检查) most factories and offices. 4 have to 5 fines if their factories or offices are unsafe. In California, employers often go to prison if one of their workers is 6 because a factory didn't 7 safety measures. But President Bush cut down the number of government inspectors 8 15 percent.

For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. In 1985 when a Japan Air Lines (JAL) jet crashed, its president, Yasumoto Takagi, called each victim’s family to apologize, and then promptly resigned. And in 1987, when a subsidiary of Toshiba sole sensitive military technology to the former Soviet Union, the chairman of Toshiba gave up his post. These executive actions, which Toshiba calls “the highest form of apology,”may seem bizarre to US managers. No one at Boeing resigned after the JAL crash, which may have been caused by a faulty Boeing repair. The difference between the two business cultures centers around different definitions of delegation. While US executives give both responsibility and authority to their employees, Japanese executives delegate only authority—the responsibility is still theirs. Although the subsidiary that sold the sensitive technology to the Soviets had its own management, the Toshiba top executives said they “must take personal responsibility for not creating an atmosphere throughout the Toshiba group that would make such activity unthinkable, even in an independently run subsidiary.” Such acceptance of community responsibility is not unique to businesses in Japan. School principals in Japan have resigned when their students committed major crimes after school hours. Even if they do not quit, Japanese executives will often accept primary responsibility in other ways, such as taking the first pay cut when a company gets into financial trouble. Such personal sacrifices, even if they are largely symbolic, help to create the sense of community and employee loyalty that is crucial to the Japanese way of doing business. Harvard Business School professor George Lodge calls the ritual acceptance of blame “almost a feudal (封建的) way of purging (清除) the community of dishonor,”and to some in the United States, such resignations look cowardly. However, in an era in which both business and governmental leaders seem particularly good at evading responsibility, many US managers would probably welcome an infusion (灌输) of the Japanese sense of responsibility, If, for instance,
