重构写作课——普林斯顿大学写作课程体系的路径和启示

Research on the Princeton Writing Program

以美国普林斯顿大学写作课程体系为研究对象,探讨当前我国写作课程内容重构的路径。系统考察其写作课程体系建设的基本历程和运行现状发现:一是写作研讨课确立了内涵丰富且具可操作性的课程目标,具体落实在实践、知识、策略3个层次的14条细则中;二是课程体系灵活而严密,整个学校的写作课程由写作中心的常规咨询、写作研讨课和研究生进阶写作课程三个层次构成,因此既有一对一的专门写作辅导,也有以某一主题开展的小班研讨课程教学;三是建立全校性质的专门写作课程实体管理机构和特定的办公场所;四是构建了成熟的跨学科、跨层次的师资队伍体系。普林斯顿大学写作课程体系对当前我国写作教学改革和课程建设的顶层设计、教师团队、课程内容以及教学模式等方面有重要借鉴意义。

This article takes the Princeton Writing Program(PWP)as the research subject,and explores the path of reconstruction of the current writing curriculum content in my country’s universities.The PWP has a central position in Princeton University’s general education.By systematically inspecting the basic history and operation status of the PAP,it is found that its writing seminar has established rich and operable course objectives,specifically implementing 14 articles at the three levels of practice,knowledge and strategy.The second is that its curriculum system is flexible and rigorous.The entire writing course system is composed of three levels:regular consulting in the writing center,writing seminars and advanced writing courses for graduate students.Therefore,there are not only one-to-one specialized writing tutoring,but also small class seminar courses on a certain subject.The third is to establish a whole school-specific writing course entity management institution and a specific office place.The fourth is to build a mature interdisciplinary and interlevel faculty system.The PWP has important reference significance for the current top-level design,teacher team and teaching mode of writing teaching reform and curriculum construction in my country.
