专业硕士研究生外语5C学习标准教学实践

Foreign Language Teaching Practice with"5C Learning Standard"for Profession-oriented Master Degree Students

目前高等农业院校大学外语教学尤其研究生外语教学需要深化改革,结合21世纪的外语学习目标,介绍和引用"5C学习标准"对提高外语学习意义产生较大影响,"5C学习标准"是五个以英文字母C开头的单词:交际(Communication)、文化(Cultures)、贯连(Connections)、比较(Comparisons)和社团(Communities)的简称,强调在外语学习中将沟通、文化、联系、比较和社区五个部分紧密联系起来,其核心是以交际为目的,强调文化作用与其他学科的知识渗透,最终立足于语言应用和文化交流。这启示高等农业院校研究生外语教学尝试以5C学习标准为主线,应用微课为基础的多模态现代化教学手段、结合文化主题、情境化学习环境及多维度评估体系,提出专业硕士学位人才培养的新理念,把封闭式外语课堂教学改变为开放式、密切联系实际的外语实践教学,探讨实践活动在高等农业院校大学外语教学中的可行性和有效性,着力培养5C学习标准的复合应用型专业人才,解决以教师为主体的重知识轻交际、重接受轻探究的现实教学困惑,切实提高研究生外语综合运用能力、培养外语学习与文化交流的可持续发展能力,最终立足于语言应用、文化交流和与其他学科的知识渗透。
