基于需求分析的高职院校旅游英语教学现状研究——以临汾职业技术学院为例

摘要

随着我国旅游业对英语人才需求的加大，我国大中专院校都相继开设了旅游英语课程，旨在培养一批适应旅游业发展需要，有过硬的专业技能，又熟练掌握英语的复合型人才。然而，该课程的教学现状如何？通过该课程的学习能否满足学生的学习需求？能否满足用人单位对英语的需求？都是值得思考和研究的问题。笔者旨在通过本次研究对旅游英语教学有所帮助，进而为同类学校的旅游英语教学改革提供有益的借鉴。
　　 需求分析是ESP的中心和出发点，作为ESP的重要分支之一的旅游英语，其教学也应该建立在需求分析的基础之上。因此，本研究以Hutchinson&Water和Dudley-Evans&St.John的需求分析模式为依据，对高职院校旅游专业的164名在校生、5名往届毕业生、5位旅游英语教师、4家用人单位进行了问卷及访谈调查，对调查结果进行定量、定性分析后发现，与普通英语相比较，高职院校旅游英语在教学方法、教学手段、教材选用、师资队伍建设、考核方式等方面还存在着如下问题:学生对旅游英语的认识不足，教学方法单一，教学手段落后，教材使用不合理，教师复合能力欠缺，考核方式不完善。笔者针对存在的问题，结合需求分析的结果提出了改进目前旅游英语教学现状的建议:制定合理的教学目标;创造以学生为主体的课堂;在现有教材的基础上努力开发校本教材;教学重点放在培养学生的听说能力上;在教学内容中融入文化的元素，体现旅游英语的特色;加强师资队伍建设，鼓励教师向“双师型”方向发展等。
