建构主义视域下非英语专业ESP教学模式研究

Research on the ESP Teaching Models for Non-English Majors from the Perspective of Constructivism

20世纪80年代我国开始引进ESP教学模式,在发展过程中经历了诸多曲折与挑战,特别是在大学非英语专业教学过程中,ESP模式长期缺位。从价值层面而言,传统英语教学模式到ESP教学模式,意味着非英语专业大学生二语习得方式从被动接受知识“灌输”到主动促成知识“建构”的转变,其突出优势在于以学生为中心的需求分析,帮助学生在学习过程中发挥更大的能动性。从实践层面来说,ESP教学模式在实施过程中面临的困境,主要是当下非英语专业教育体系的固化,而教育信息化发展带来的机遇,如大量高质量的教学资源、多视角的真实情境以及多方位的互动协作,可以从一定程度上帮助ESP教学模式突破当下困境,并促进ESP教学模式在我国进一步发展。

China introduced the ESP teaching model in the 1980s.From the traditional English teaching mode to the ESP teaching mode,it means that the students’second language acquisition mode changes from passively receiving knowledge“inculcation”to actively promoting knowledge“construction”.From the perspective of constructivism,the most prominent advantage of ESP teaching mode in the teaching of non-English majors is its student-centered needs analysis,which helps students to play a greater initiative in the learning process.Facing the predicament of the implementation of ESP teaching model in China,from the perspective of constructivism,combined with the opportunities brought by the development of educational informatization,such as a large number of high-quality teaching resources,multi-perspective real situations and multi-directional interactive collaboration,to a certain extent,it helps ESP teaching mode to break through the dilemma of current development.It also promotes the further development of ESP teaching model in China from three aspects:student learning initiative,teacher’s teaching dominance,and flexibility of assessment.
