论清末同文馆英语教育课程设置

On the Course Establishment of School of Combined Learning at the End of Qing Dynasty

清末同文馆为我国培养出了一大批英语人才,它的英语教育是我国学校正规英语教育的开端。在课程设置上,同文馆有其独有的特点:注意到了语言与专业课程相结合;注重英语教学的同时,注重学生的汉文功课。正因如此,同文馆学生毕业时,已被培养成了复合型人才,所以能够胜任多种工作。目前我国大学毕业生就业困难,单纯掌握语言技能的毕业生已不能适应社会需要,因此应将英语专业的教育目标定位于以培养复合型人才为主。为实现此目标,可借鉴同文馆经验,拓宽专业课程范畴,增加一些科学课程内容,同时注重提高学生的汉学修养。
