摘要摘要随着我国改革开放的进一步深入和经济的快速发展,社会和用人单位对高职人才的英语能力提出了更高的要求。英语的实用性,专业性得到了更广泛的关注。但目前我国高职英语教学存在学生学习积极性不高,课本知识与实际需求相脱节等一系列问题,所培养的众多人才中大多数无法把所学的语言知识与具体的实际运用联系起来,不能满足社会和用人单位的需求。所以对高职英语教学进行积极探索与改革成为当务之急。本研究介绍了专门用途英语(ESP)理论的特点,国内外学者的相关研究情况,分析了当前高职英语教学普遍存在的问题,提出把专门用途英语理论运用到高职英语教学的可行性,并对符合专门用途英语理论要求的高职英语教学改革进行探讨,寻求改进高职英语教学更有效的方法。本论文共六个部分,主要内容如下:第一部分是绪论,对本文的研究背景,研究目的和意义进行的阐述。第二部分是文献综述。这部分对本文涉及的一些重要概念的界定进行阐述,为更好地进行主体部分的论述打下基础。第三部分是把专门用途英语理论运用到高职英语教学的理论可行性分析,通过论述专门用途英语的教学原则符合高职英语教学要求,专门用途英语的教学理念与高职英语培养目标一致,专门用途英语课程设计的相关理念符合高职英语教材开发的要求,专门用途英语教师角色是高职英语教师队伍建设的依据等四个方面对ESP应用于我国高职英语教学进行分析,得出可行性结论第四部分是高职院校英语教学现状进行的调查分析。这部分主要对河北软件职业技术学院和保定职业技术学院两所高职院校教师,学生的问卷和访谈调查数据进行分析,从教学目标,教材,教学方法,学生,师资以及用人单位对高职毕业生英语的要求等几个方面对我国高职英语教学中存在的主要问题进行调查研究。第五部分是基于专门用途英语理论的高职英语教学改革实践,从以“需求分析”为基础确定高职英语教学目标,借鉴专门用途英语课程设计原理加强英语教材建设,加强教师队伍建设,运用多种教学方法丰富教学手段,完善评估体系等四部分五个方面进行具体的分析与论证,使英语教学同专业需求相结合,帮助学生获取将来工作所需的英语能III 摘要力。第六部分是结论,结合现实状况和高职英语教学存在的问题,明确了把专门用途英语理论运用到高职英语教学的可行性和必要性。关键词专门用途英语高职英语教学改革IV
