从语用能力调查看涉外专业的大学英语教学

Pragmatic Skill Test and College English Teaching

语用能力被视为学习语言的最终目的。尤其是中国加入WTO后,涉外专业学生更应具有较强的英语交际能力。调查表明,目前这些学生的语用能力普遍不高,这不仅要求大学英语教学要提高学生语言基础知识水平,加大学生的语言输入量,还要求改变目前的教学方法,转变教师单一的知识传授者角色,成为学生双向英语交流的组织者、管理者、监控者、辅导者和促进者。

It is well-known that developing pragmatic skills is the final purpose of language learning. After Chinas entry to WTO, majors of specialties concerning activities involving foreigners are required to have better cross-cultural communicative competence. However, the findings of our test indicate that most of them don't have good pragmatic skills. To solve the problem, College English teaching should focus on improving the students communicative competence by increasing the students language input and reforming the old-fashioned teaching methods. 
