“大学英语”不是“公共英语”的另一种说法——对全球化语境下的大学英语教学的一点思考

“College English” is not What Used to be Known as “Service English”:Observations upon College English Teaching in the Context of Globalization

"大学英语"和过去的"公共英语"有本质的区别。在全球化的语境里,传统英语演变为全球英语,这需要我们把过去的英语作为外语教学的范式转变为英语作为通用语的教学范式,把我国大学生培养成能用英语这一国际通用语进行专业知识交流和母语文化表达的人才,更好地为国家战略服务。

'College English'differs substantially from what used to be known as'Service English'.The evolution of standardized English into global English in the context of globalization calls for a paradigm shift from TEFL to TELF to enable our college students to use English as a lingua franca to communicate their expert knowledge and convey their mother tongue culture so as to be better able to serve the national strategy of our country.
