《国标》视域下法律英语专业课程需求与建构研究

Needs Analysis and Curriculum Development for Legal English Majors Under the Guidance of 2018 National Standards

教育部2018年《普通高等学校本科专业类教学质量国家标准》(以下简称《国际》)对如何培养复合型外语人才提出了具体要求。针对我国外语界对复合型英语专业定位的分歧,以及此类专业课程设置存在的“两张皮”现象,本文通过问卷和访谈,对中国政法大学历届英语专业毕业生的课程需求进行调研分析;在此基础上结合《国标》原则,尝试建构英语+法律的复合专业课程体系。研究表明,建构法律英语专业课程体系应该:(1)打破法律和英语课程模块分割,将法律知识植入英语语言技能中,实现英语+法律的真正合;(2)加强法律英语课程内部及其与中文法律课程间的衔接和过渡;(3)增加法律实务与实践课程,遨请法律人进课堂与教师共同授课;(4)加强研究方法、中西文化比较等通识课程,培养学生的研究创新能力与中国情怀。
