CBI理念下的区域性高校英语专业阅读课程内容设置

Content-Based Instruction and Regional Materials of English Reading Courses

阅读是现代人类认知社会、获取信息和知识的重要手段。当前高校英语专业阅读课程中,以阅读技能为核心的教学内容设置有利于学生对语言形式的感知,却对语言的意义和功能关照不足,不利于学生深层知识图式的建构和思辨能力的发展。基于以上认识,以内容依托式教学理念为理论框架,依托中国—东盟区域性知识,在强化阅读技能训练的同时,就如何优化高校英语专业阅读课程内容、加强区域性相关专业知识教学、发掘课程内容知识的传递作用、构建英语专业区域性内容依托式阅读课程模块体系进行了探讨。

It puts much emphasis on language forms, but less attention to meanings and functions, whieh badly slows down the increase of English majors＇ subject knowledge. Based on the theoretical framework of content - based instruction, this study analyzes the possibility to improve the skill - oriented teaching materials with regional knowledge of China - ASEAN.
