论商务英语教学中思辨能力的培养

Cultivation of Critical Thinking Skills in Business English Teaching

教育信息化的普及推动了商务英语教学的发展,同时也暴露出学生思辨能力不足的现象。思辨能力的培养是新一轮教学改革的关键,思辨能力统一于认知能力和情感特质,它将贯穿于所有教学环节,尤其体现在教学目标、教学内容、教学方法、教学评价上。思辨能力的培养为商务英语教学注入了新的活力,同时也引发了教学模式的变革。

China’s educational informatization campaign promotes the progress of business English teaching. Meanwhile, the inadequacy of critical thinking has been brought into public concern. Developing critical thinking skills is considered as a critical factor to the newly-launched teaching reform. Critical thinking is a combination of cognitive skills and affective dispositions, which functions in every teaching procedure, especially in setting teaching objectives, selecting teaching contents, adopting teaching methodologies, and designing teaching evaluation systems. As a fresh impetus to business English teaching, critical thinking is bound to trigger a series of changes in teaching modes.
