音乐院校全英文教学课程学科分类与话语特点分析

An Analysis of the Categorization and Characteristics of Disciplinary Discourse in EMI Courses in Higher Music Education

进入21世纪以来,随着全球化进程不断推进,全英文教学,也就是以英语为媒介的教学(EMI)在中国高校取得了长足发展,英语正在从外语教学的内容转变为学习其他学科的语言工具,全英文课程建设已成为评估高校国际化发展程度的重要指标之一。然而,音乐院校进行全英文教学的学科话语分类和话语特点还鲜有研究涉及。本文从认识论的角度对音乐学科不同的课程进行分类,通过对四所音乐院校相关课程进行调研,从学科话语量、学科话语内容与功能以及学科话语接受难度三个方面分析音乐专业不同类型课程话语方式的特点。基于对音乐学科话语体系的充分认知,本研究试图为音乐专业EMI课程的合理布局和实际教学效果的提高提供依据和启示。

Since the beginning of the 21st century,with the ongoing globalization,English as a Medium of Instruction(EMI)has developed by leaps and bounds in Chinese universities,and English is shifting from the content of foreign language teaching to a language tool for learning other disciplines.The development of all-English courses has become one of the important indicators to assess the internationalization of higher institutions.However,few studies have been conducted on the categorization and characteristics of all-English teaching in music subjects in Chinese higher education for music studies.Related music courses from four conservatories were investigated.This research classifies different disciplines of music from the perspective of epistemology,and explains the characteristics of different categories of disciplinary discourse from three aspects:the amount of disciplinary discourse,the content and function of disciplinary discourse and the difficulty of accepting disciplinary discourse.Based on a full understanding of the discourse system of the music discipline,this paper may provide a basis and insights for a rational layout of EMI music courses and the improvement of teaching effectiveness.
