英语专业本科课程的超学科属性探析

Exploring the Transdisciplinary Property of the English Major Curricula

英语专业日益严峻的毕业生就业形势使得复合型人才培养模式成为必然,这就需要重新审视英语专业本科课程的超学科属性,以期在理论建构、研究操作、语言政策和学科建制层面为语言教学和课程研究的超学科路径提供一定的理论和实践借鉴。英语专业本科课程超学科属性具有深刻的理据,即语言以及语言教育活动的复杂性属性。英语专业本科课程超学科属性的哲学意蕴包括两个层面:认识论层面,超学科路径跨越了自然科学和社会科学之间的鸿沟,采取了宏观复杂系统驱动的研究范式;方法论层面,超学科路径为语言课程研究提供了一些可参考的实践模式。

The worsening employment situation of English major undergraduates makes it an inevitable requirement to cultivate compound talents,thus making it necessary to revisit the transdisciplinary property of the curricula of foreign language major,which aims to provide substantial theoretical and practical enlightenment on the development of foreign language teaching and research in terms of theoretical construction,research practice,language policy and discipline constitution.The transdisciplinary property of the curricula of foreign language major is driven by the notion of complexity of language and language teaching.Epistemologically,the transdisciplinary approach bridges the gap between natural sciences and social sciences by adopting a macroscopically complex system-driven research paradigm;methodologically,the transdisciplinary approach provides some practical models for language curriculum research.
