以“英语写作”为例解析国家精品课程建设关注要点

Points of Concern for the Excellent Course Development

1999年以来,随着招生规模的不断扩大,我国高等教育所面临的问题也不断增加。如何全面提高高等教育质量的问题首当其冲,引起了国家与社会的普遍关注。为了缓解这个问题,新世纪以来,教育部通过"质量工程"的实施,加强了高校精品课程的建设工作,取得了良好的效果。2012年秋季,新一轮的国家精品开放课程的申报工作正式开始。"优化结构,转型升级"是这次精品课程建设的指导思想之一。根据这一指导思想,结合国家精品课程"英语写作(1～4级水平)"的建设工作,作者采用了问题化与解构式的讨论模式,从8个方面入手,总结了40个"关注要点",为精品课程的建设提供一种发展思路。

Since the year of 1999, the higher education in China has witnessed two changes： a dramatic increase of student population and a rapid decrease of teaching quality. To deal with these problems, new policies and measurements have been taken, one of which is the Program of National Excellent Courses. Encouraged by its initial achievements, this program is currently resumed. One of the principles advocated by the new program is form transformation and quality enhancement＂. Guided by this principle and being participants of this program, we took a problematic plus deconstructive discourse pattern and summarized 40 points of concern in this work. By doing so, we wanted to provide a new approach to developing excellent courses in general and improving the quality of English writing classes at the tertiary level in particular.
