我国英语学科分布与特点调查研究

A Study on the Distribution and Characteristics of English Discipline in China

采用问卷星对我国七大行政区48所高校的1359名英语专业学生进行了在线问卷调查。调查结果显示:我国英语专业学生对授课的满意率较高(人数占比58.8%),就业信心较强(人数占比47.6%),课程设置合理性较高(人数占比44.1%);整体英语交际能力不容乐观,多数学生面临从一般向高级水平突破的瓶颈问题;英语学习习惯亟需改善,如投入英语听力练习的时间和阅读原著的数量明显偏低;创新项目数量少且学生参与积极性不高;不同类别的高校对授课满意的原因认知不同,课程设置的合理性与高校从高到低的类别基本一致。同时,根据艾瑞深2015高校排行榜(前700)手动调查全国31个省415所高校外国语学院官网的学科数据,结果显示我国英语学科点的地区分布不平衡,整体实力呈现出华东、华北和华中地区隆起,华南、西南、东北和西北地区逐步缓降甚至凹陷的分布现状。
