外语专业科技英语课程教学:现状与设想

EST Teaching for Foreign Language Majors:Its Status Quo and Future Development

总体来看，科技英语教学在我国外语院系目前尚未得到很好开展，这给学生就业带来诸多不利影响，因此，有必要采取措施扭转这种局面。在外语专业科技英语课程改革中，内容依托式教学法具有重要参考价值。根据内容依托式教学法的理念，除开设专门的科技英语课程以外，还应该大大增加其它课程的科技知识含量，通过多课程、多层次、多信息、多模态的输入，提高学生的语言技能，丰富学生的科技知识，培养具有人文情操和科技素养的高素质外语人才。

Generally speaking, the teaching of English for Science and Technology （EST） has not yet been well carried out in China＇ s foreign language faculties, bringing much adverse effect to students＇ employment, which indicates that something must be done to change this situation. The notion of Content-Based Instruction is of great referential value to the teaching of EST course for English majors. Based on the notion of Content-Based Instruction, in addition to the prescription of specialized EST courses, scientific and technological content should also be largely increased in other courses. Through a multi-course, multi-level, multi-information and multi-modal input, it is hoped to improve students＇ language skills as well as enhancing technological knowledge synchronously, aiming at cultivating high-quality foreign language talents with both profound humanistic sentiments and technological literacy.
