专业学位研究生英语自主性教学模式探索——基于结构方程建模的实证研究

The Learner-Autonomy English Teaching Mode for Professional Degree Candidates——A Research Based on Structural Equation Modeling

专业学位研究生英语教学尚属外语教学领域的新生事物。运用结构方程建模的研究结果显示:不同类型的专业学位研究生在英语能力、学习行为和课程需求方面存在较显著的分化。西安交通大学在一项历时3年的教改实验中,采用基于自主性学习理念的立体化课程设置和教学模式,适合专业学位硕士学时较短、突出应用的特点,为专业学位研究生英语教学探索出了一条新的道路。

English teaching for Professional Degree （PD） candidates is a newly-emerged topic in the field of English language teaching. An SEM-based research reveals significant diversity among different PD categories in terms of language competence, learning behavior and course requirement. In a 3-year teaching reform program in XJTU, a multi-facet subject structure and teaching mode based on learner-autonomy was adopted, which proved to be appropriate for PD candidates and created a new approach in the field of PD English education.
