文献检索在学术英语教学中的应用尝试

Application of Literature Retrieval in the Teaching of EAP

调查结果表明,大学生对学术英语有较高的学习需求,其中包含对英语文献阅读、用英语撰写文献综述和报告的需求。英语文献检索可作为学术英语课程所依托的内容,与上述需求有机地结合在一起。基于PBL教学法,英语文献检索可以被划分为四个步骤:提出问题、文献检索、小组讨论和教师评估。学生以自主学习与合作学习相结合的方式完成问题解决全过程。教师评估可起到引导作用,不容忽视。教学过程中始终要把语言教学放在核心位置,不能喧宾夺主。

Relevant surveys find that there is an increasing demand for academic English learning,including English literature reading and writing,which can be integrated into a course of English literature retrieval featured by the PBL teaching method.Such a course can be divided into four stages:putting forward the problem,literature retrieval,group discussion,and teacher’s evaluation,throughout which students come up with a solution to the problem by means of self-directed study and collaborative learning under the guidance of the teacher,whose role cannot be emphasized enough along with language learning itself.
