学术驱动下的工科研究生专业外语教学改革与实践

Academic-driven Teaching Reform and Practice of Professional English for Engineering Postgraduates

工科研究生的专业外语课程对其专业外语能力和学术水平的提高都具有重要作用。现阶段我国高校这一课程普遍存在重视程度不够、教学内容僵化、授课手段单一与学术研究相脱节等问题。针对这些问题及其成因,在深入分析的基础上,提出了转变观念并走出认识上的误区、增加与学术相关的教学内容、授课模式多样化、重视师资队伍的培养以及改革考核方式等举措。最后,在梳理近年来授课经验的基础上,从课程内容、授课模式及考核方式三个方面对课程的教学实践加以总结,为推动我国工科研究生专业外语教学的改革与发展提供新的思路。

The professional foreign language curriculum plays an important role in improving the professional foreign language ability and academic level of postgraduates. At this stage, the curriculum of colleges and universities in China generally has problems such as insufficient attention, rigid teaching content, single teaching methods and disconnection between curriculum and academic research. In response to these problems and their causes, on the basis of in-depth analysis, the author put forward measures such as changing the misunderstanding of concepts and understanding, increasing the teaching content related to the academics, diversifying the teaching mode, attaching importance to the training of the teaching staff and reforming the assessment methods. Finally, on the basis of combing the experience of teaching in recent years, this paper summarizes the teaching practice of the course from three aspects: course content, teaching modes and examination methods, and provides new ideas for promoting the reform and development of foreign language teaching for engineering graduate students in China.
