基于实践共同体理论构建赋权增能型学术英语课程模式

The Construction of an Academic English Course Model Based on the Theory of Community of Practice and Empowerment

针对学术英语课程以教为中心的现状,本文以实践共同体理论和赋权增能理论为理论框架,从课程内容、课程目标、教学方法和课程原则等几个方面,探讨构建创新学术英语课程模式。一方面建设师生学习共同体和生生学习共同体,教师和学生相互协作,互相学习。另一方面,课程采用"角权责统一,做学用合一"的赋权原则,明晰教师和学生在课程中的角色、权利和职责,用语言做事,在做事中学习语言。该模式旨在实现语言知识、学习者兴趣和学科知识的结合,培养学习者能力。

Since academic English teaching tends to be teacher-centered, this paper, based on the theory of community of practice and empowerment, explores the construction of an innovative academic English teaching model from the aspects of teaching content, teaching objectives, teaching methods and teaching principles. On the one hand, the teacher-students and students learning communities are suggested to be built, in which the teacher and students cooperate with and learn from each other. On the other hand, the empowerment principles clarify the separate roles, rights and responsibilities of teachers and students as well as encourage students to learn in doing things. The model aims to combine language learning, learners’ interest with subject knowledge learning, cultivate learners’ abilities.
