第一篇:基础英语课程教学和考试改革方案
基础英语教学课程改革
《高职高专教育英语课程教学基本要求》中,明确提出了“以实用为主,应用为目的”的教学目标。高职教育更注重岗位能力的培养,突出实践环节教学。作为高职院校的英语教师,我们清楚:高职高专学生生源复杂,层次多,尤其是近年来普高扩招,高职高专的学生整体素质呈下降趋势,在这样的一种条件下,我们如何在两年的时间里使高职英语教学尽快地适应教育部提出的英语教学改革这一新形势,调整和改进教学思路、考试改革,从而帮助学生树立学习英语的信心,提高他们的英语综合运用能力,为了实现这些教学目标,就要求我们转变教学方式,同时改革考试方式。
(一)教学方式的转变
在围绕英语应用能力培养这一中心环节,我们教师应该灵活多样地使用各种教学方法,组织教学活动,并将竞赛机制适时地引入课堂,充分发挥学生的主体作用,使学生由被动接受变为主动学习,做到精讲多练,加强学生实训环节的训练力度,将学生分成若干学习小组,针对某一知识环节,由学生结合自身专业特点分组讨论,模拟工作环节,开展情景练习,同时还可以就最近或当天发生的国际国内及校园的大事、小事及趣事与学生聊天、针对某个话题进行讨论,各小组派代表发表各自观点,进行辩论,教师在教学活动中要较好的发挥其主导作用,针对学生在实训过程中出现的问题及时的进行更正,做到“玩中学”,使学生学会一些实用的表达方式,以此锻炼学生的口语表达能力;不仅如此,在教学活动中还可以开展单词竞猜(word
competition),即各小组派代表来解释单词的含义,由其他同学来猜生词;和课堂演讲(speech),即以学生的现实生活为主题,进行课堂英语演讲。这些活动既充分发挥学生的主观能动性,锻炼他们的英语写作和口语能力,也培养他们合作学习、自主学习、创造性学习等多种能力。使学生通过不断的实践,把知识转化为应用能力,同时,加强对学生课外学习活动的指导,这样可以把课堂教学内容和方法进一步巩固、落实,并使之深化和个性化。此外,开展课外教学活动可以给学生提供更多的语言实践机会。激发学生的学习兴趣,增加教学活动中创造性活动的成分,培养学生的自学能力,以适应毕业后实际工作的需要。
(二)考试改革
考试不仅具有评价功能,还具有很强的导向作用,考试就是一个指挥棒,有啥样的考试,就会有怎么样的教学方法。目前各高职院校英语课的教学一直是以理论授课为主,历来考试方法都是进行理论考核。考试内容偏窄,不利于培养学生独立思考能力和灵活运用知识的能力,容易造成学生死记硬背,搞考前突击,并寄希望于教师考前划重点,限制了学生学习的范围,造成学生知识面狭窄,学习兴趣降低。学完英语,考试合格后,依然不能运用于实际生活与工作中。
鉴于在新形势下,为培养创新人才奠定良好的外部环境,必须加快现行考试制度。
(1)加大口语考试力度
目前高职英语教学主要是以课堂讲授为主,教师一般较重视笔头的训练,而轻视听说的培养。许多学生在使用英语与别人交流时,有时是听不懂别人说什么,有时是不知如何开口去表达自己的意思。为了改变聋哑英语现状,真正提高学生的素质,培养学生用英语交际的能力,我们必须重视口语教学,加大口语考试的力度。
(2)改革教学材料
为了增强英语教学实用性,改变一成不变的传统教学模式,改变过去一学期一本书形式,引进不同形式的教学材料。根据学生的专业特点,把英语教材改为自编讲义。内容涉及交际英语学习方法,语音知识,基础语法知识,日常口语对话,英美国家主要习俗,中外主要节假日,沿线主要景点的英语介绍,高速公路收费英语。让他们尽可能全面地了解社会和语言使用环境,使学生在走向社会后,能将“他们所学的英语得到实际的应用”。
(3)改革听力测试
为进一步提高高职学生的英语听力技能,激发学生学习英语的兴趣和积极性,培养学生良好的学习习惯,推进英语教学改革,真正实施素质教育。在班级乃至学院举行英语听力技能比赛。可以由英语教研组来具体组织实施。届时将通过教师多媒体设备播放听力录音,提前设置考场,要求学生到指定考场参加比赛。可设立一定的奖项,并作为期末考试的加分项,以此来激励学生更好地备考听力。
第二篇:研究生英语课程教学改革方案(试行)
研究生公共英语课程教学改革方案(试行)
为了培养“具有高级听说读写能力的创新型研究生”,使研究生熟练掌握英语语言工具,促进研究生专业学习、科研和国际交流,决定对研究生公共英语课程教学和课程考核进行改革,通过课堂英语教学和考核提高我校研究生英语语言应用能力。具体改革方案如下:
1、教学计划增加学术论文撰写规范的内容,任课教师于开课初给研究生布置撰写英文论文和讲解论文的课外作业;
2、研究生第一学期(英语课程学期)写一篇英文论文,论文要求如下:(1)结构完整,跟专业相关度不限。
(2)字数要求:入学前未过六级的硕士研究生1000-2000,入学前已过六级的硕士研究生2000-3000,博士研究生3000以上。
(3)发现论文抄袭,课程成绩记为0分。
3、研究生根据自己撰写的英文论文做多媒体讲解材料,在任课教师规定的应用能力考核时间内对论文进行讲解,硕士研究生每人讲解时间不低于5分钟、博士研究生不低于15分钟。
4、英语应用能力考核:(1)考核时间
任课教师在学期末对研究生的英语应用能力进行考核,具体考核时间由任课教师根据课程人数自定;
(2)考核依据
英语读写:提交论文 英语听说:讲解论文
专业学位研究生英语:按提交的论文和讲解情况综合评定 跨文化交流:按提交的论文和讲解情况综合评定 国际学术交流:按提交的论文和讲解情况综合评定 科技英语写作与翻译:按提交的论文和讲解情况综合评定 英语演讲:按提交的论文和讲解情况综合评定 博士研究生英语:按提交的论文和讲解情况综合评定 注:同一研究生有两门讲解课程的讲解内容可相同
(3)任课教师检查研究生的论文、根据每个人的讲解情况做好考核记录并评分。未参加应用能力考核的研究生不能取得相应课程的成绩。
5、研究生公共英语课程成绩由三项构成:平时成绩30%、期末考试(考查)成绩40%、应用能力考核30%。
6、该改革方案从2013级研究生开始执行。

第四篇:基础英语课程教学模式设计
基础英语课程教学模式设计
万礼蓉
高职高专英语课程的教学目的在于培养学生的英语综合应用能力,特别是听说能力,使他们能以英语为工具有效地进行口头和书面的交流;同时增强其自主学习能力,提高综合文化素养,以适应我国社会发展和国际交流的需要。为了达到这一目的,教学模式的选用起着非常重要的作用。课程教学要清晰,教学过程要有效,教学质量要提高,必须正确的理解教学模式并合理运用。
一、英语教学模式现状
当前高职课程教学模式落后,比较单一,没有摆脱传统的以教师为中心的教学模式,即,老师说,学生听;教师讲,学生记。这不能适应高职院校教育教学需要。高职高专英语教学中不同程度存在这重知识、轻能力的现象,许多学生听力和口语表达能力提高不大,语言知识掌握与语言实践能力有较大差距。
长期以来,该课程传统的教学模式是:导入——讲解单词和短语——分析翻译课文中的单句——课内少量的口笔头训练。我院英语教学采用的是2+2的模式。以班级为单位,第一年的两学期里进行基础语言知识的讲授,帮助学生们通过国家英语A、B级的考试。在第2个学年的两个学期里进行语言知识的实际应用锻炼,使得学生能够将习得的语言知识应用到具体实践中去。这种模式,一方面能够帮助学生顺利过级,另一方面也有利于在一定程度上提高学生的英语应用能力。到了大学毕业的时候,大部分同学都能通过学校要求的英语等级考试,但是,最后通过大学英语四级和六级的学生却极少。而且,学生口头交流能力未有很大的提高。这主要是因为这种模式存在以下问题:
a.学生英语水平不一,不利于教师整体教学。
随着大学扩招和各类职业院校办学规模的不断扩大,高职院校的入学门槛也越来越低,教育正从精英教育转变为大众教育。学生入学时英语水平参差不齐,在英语的听、说、读、写、译等各项技能方面存在着很大的个体差异。老师作为指导者,很难做到面面俱到,只能根据班级大部分学生的英语水平来制定教学方法和内容的侧重点,这样就会忽视对英语学习好的学生的提高。
b.学生阅读能力有一定提高,但是口头表达能力欠佳。课程课时少,教学任务重,使得课上几乎没有充裕的时间供学生进行口头表达练习,有的学生甚至单词的发音都不准确。一部分学生不能用简单的口语回答问题,课堂上害怕老师提问,提问到了,要么英汉结合,要么是拼凑几个单词,更谈不上用英语进行交流了。
c.第二课堂活动不完善,影响学生英语学习的持续性。四个学期的基础阶段教学完成之后,没有了英语课,学生的英语水平和应用能力的提高就受到了制约,几乎是放任自流。没有第二课堂,学生就没有了语言习得的良好环境,其英语学习在时间和空间上受到不同程度的制约。
目前这种状况,若不加以改变,将很难培养出适合社会和专业需求的具有一定英语水平的人才。
二、实施新模式预计达到的目标
1、提高学生英语A级、B级考试的一次性通过率。同时,提高英语四级和六级的通过比例。
2.提高学生的英语口头表达能力,使得学生能够进行基本的英语交流。
3.培养学生自主学习英语的能力,课堂上由“教师讲授”转变为“学生参与”。
三、实现目标的分阶段安排计划及具体措施 1.分层教学模式
学生刚入校的时候,英语水平高低不一;有的同学想升本科,英语成绩很重要,而有的同学既不想升学,毕业后用到英语的机会也不多。为了保证最佳教学效果、优化教育资源,对学生进行分层教学是十分必要的。
a.水平测试
水平测试在新生入学后马上进行。考虑到目前高职高专院校生源英语水平普遍下降的现实,测试的重点应放在考查学生的英语基本功上,包括音标、词汇和语法。在测试题型上,选材和设计题项十分重要,正确答案应引导学生通过运用正确的阅读技能,而不能靠常识和背景知识或猜测而得,干扰项应当起到干扰作用。随着考试的进行,我们可以适当地增加填空题、简短回答、完型填空。
b.层次划分
根据学生测试的英语水平,可以划分为A、B、C三个层次: A:该层次学生占全体新生的15%。具有扎实的英语基本功,毕业时应达到大学英语四级或以上水平。
B:占年级绝大部分。要求掌握必要的英语基础知识,毕业时达到大学英语应用能力测试A级水平。
C:剩下的学生要求掌握教材内容,毕业时达到大学英语应用能力测试B级水平。
c.升降级考核
定期进行测试,随着学生能力及成绩波动,对三个层次进行调整,这样既可以鼓励低层级的学生刻苦学习,不断进步,也可以让成绩好的同学随时保持警惕。
2.实践教学模式
现有的高职英语课堂教学中,教学模式还有许多不足之处。学生受到应试教育的影响,对培养英语应用能力的认识不足。当今的英语教学,应打破传统模式,通过对英语语言基础知识的学习和听、说、读、写多种基本技能的训练,培养学生运用英语进行交际的综合能力。
每单元进行一次和单元内容相关的口语表达练习。提前将任务布置给学生,让其课下去积极准备。练习的形式可以是多种多样的,可以是英语对话、英语情景短剧、演讲、辩论等。根据学生表现进行打分,算作平时成绩的一部分。练习之后老师进行讲评,以便学生在下次的练习中能够有所进步。
3.自主学习教学模式
这种模式既可以节省课堂学习时间又可以培养学生的自主学习能力。主要步骤为:布置任务——课上检查——讲解分析。
例如,新单元的话题是文化差异,在讲新课之前,先让学生自己思考:你所知道的中西方文化差异有哪些?这样就会激励学生利用图书馆、互联网等资源,进行自主探索性的学习,有目的的培养学生解决问题的能力。当然,为了推进这种模式,一定要加强检查力度。这种模式同样可以适用于口语课,口语课后,教师可以布置给大家组织对话的任务,给出当日学的重要句子和词组,让学生课下两人一组组织对话,内容可以多种多样,但是重要的句子和词组必须用上。这样,让学生自主学习,对于知识有所准备,在很大程度上就会改善以往的“教师讲授” 为主的教学,让学生切实的参与到教学中来。
