Content-Based Instruction and Aviation English Teaching:Approach and Effect

研究显示,内容依托式教学法对提高英语专业学生的语言技能、促进专业知识学习有明显作用。该研究通过对行业院校英语专业在民航英语专业课程授课阶段实施CBI教学实验进行研究,探讨了民航英语专业课阶段各门课程的课程设置和教学方法。通过测试、访谈等研究发现:把CBI理念引入民航英语教学不会影响学生的语言发展,还可以显著提高学生的语言输出能力和思维能力。在ESP课程中实施CBI教学模式的关键问题是处理好专业内容和语言技能的比例与衔接,保证学生在课堂中的主导作用和语言教学的核心地位。
