“三位一体”的大学英语课程重构研究

The study of“three⁃in⁃one”layout of college English curriculum reconstruc⁃tion

本文运用定性分析的方法,探讨一般综合类大学大学英语课程重构与教学改革的内在理路问题。文章以学术英语课程为切入点,对大学英语课程提出通用、学术、通识“三位一体”的多样化的改造构想。将三类课程都作为大学英语课程体系中不可或缺的内容,认为通用英语课程应按技能分项,选择教学,提供个性化的对口服务;学术英语课程只能是大学英语课程的一个组成部分和补充,作为高年级自主发展的选修课程,聚焦学术技能,满足部分学生的学术需求并做学术方面的准备,而不应完全取代原先的通用英语教学;通识英语课程应包含以英语为媒介或载体,以内容为依托的语言文化系列课程和浅近学科的经典阅读课,将具有工具特性的语言课程与其他深层次的人文类课程相结合,拓展教学内容的深度和宽度,注重学习者的高级思维和思辨能力,坚持内涵发展。大学英语教育应多元、多层,但始终是一个整体,应实现三类课程在工具性和人文性之间的平衡和有机统一。

This paper discusses the internal logic of college English curriculum reconstruction and teaching reform by means of qualitative analysis in general comprehensive colleges and universities. Taking academic English courses as the starting point,this paper puts forward a diversified“three-in-one”layout for the college English curriculum reform of EGP( English for General Purpose),EAP( English for Academic Purpose) and ELE( English for Liberal Education).All the three courses are regarded as indispensable in college English curriculum system. This paper arrives at the conclusion that the teaching and learning of EGP should be selected according to different skills and provide personalized counterpart services;EAP can only be a component and supplement of college English courses. As an optional course for senior students,it focuses on academic skills,meets the academic needs of some students and prepares them academically,and should not replace EGP;ELE should include a series of language and culture courses with English as the medium or carrier and with content as the basis,as well as classic reading courses in the humanities or closer subjects. Combining the instrumental language course with other deep humanistic courses,we may expand the depth and width of the teaching content,pay attention to the learners’ advanced thinking and critical thinking ability,and insist on connotative development. College English education should be multi-dimensional and multilayered,but always a whole. It should realize the balance and organic unity of three courses between instruments and humanity.
