行动导向、任务驱动的商务英语专业课程需求分析——来自《欧洲职业语言和交际能力共同参考框架》的启示

Action-oriented and Task-driven Needs Analysis for Business English Course Design——Enlightenment from Common European Framework of Reference for Professional Language and Communication Competencies

需求分析(needs analysis)是专门用途英语(ESP)的基础和精髓。该文在总结需求分析不同分析模式的基础上,介绍了Long所提出的基于任务的需求分析模式,通过《欧洲职业语言和交际能力共同参考框架》及其子项目《商务英语(商务管理方向)职业语言和交际能力要求简介》,阐述了基于需求分析,制定职业语言及交际能力要求的必要性,并进一步提出有效的需求分析应以工作任务为基本分析单位,在数据分析过程中应考虑多方因素,涵盖多个角度。

Needs analysis is the kernel and basis of English for Specific Purpose （ESP）. Based on the summary of different models of needs analysis, the author specifically introduces the tasked-based needs analysis proposed by Long. Taking Common European Framework of Reference for Professional Language and Communication Compe- tencies and its subproject-CEF Profile for Business Administration as typical examples, the author elaborates the necessity of creating profiles for professional language and communication competencies on the basis of needs analysis. The author furthermore proposes that in carrying out effective needs analysis, we should take the target situation tasks as the essential analysis unit and consider multiple factors from different perspectives.
