基于项目的博士研究生学术英语写作阶段教学法

English for Academic Purposes:Project-based Learning 3-Stage Teaching for Ph.D.Students

学术英语写作,作为辅助博士研究生在国际化学术平台进行有效交流的关键课程日益受到关注。经过十七年学术英语写作的教学摸索,在基于项目学习理论以及输出驱动假设理论基础上,总结出基于项目的博士研究生学术英语写作阶段教学法,即:基础—学术—跟踪三阶段教学方法。该教学法提倡运用学术听说促进学术写作,强调语言输出的目标性成果以及以学生为中心的团队协作式教与学的融合。教学实践结果发现:阶段教学法能有效促进博士研究生英语输出能力的提升;可使学生在目标明确、阶段节奏合理的环境下有效提高学术口语和写作能力;并养成相应的英语习得和运用习惯。

English for Academic Purposes(EAP)courses can help graduate students facilitate academic communication on international platforms,and are increasingly attracting attentions.Based on 17-year EAP teaching experience and the theory of project-based learning,this paper proposes a 3-stage teaching method for the EAP writing course offered especially for Ph.D.students,i.e.,the basic-academic-tracking progressive procedure.Drawing on a flowchart and a series of specific teaching strategies,as well as students’post-course achievements,this 3-stage methodology has been proved to be effective in motivating Ph.D.students to enhance their writing and speaking ability and cultivate a good writing habit.
