以项目为依托的外语教学法在高职非英语专业教学中的应用及个案研究

摘要

本论文旨在对如何在高等职业院校中非英语专业的英语教学中运用项目式教学法进行研究。高等职业院校的教学目标和其它本科院校不同，它的目标是培养学生的实际运用能力。自从中国实行改革开放政策以来，与西方国家的交流逐渐加强，经济和社会文化快速发展，因此急需外语人才。与此同时，为了不断提高学生的语言运用能力和实用技能，英语教学的重点已经从以教师为中心转移到以学生为中心的教学模式改革上来，这也为高等职业院校的英语教学提出了极大的挑战。如何鼓励学生不断参与学习过程，培养学生的自主学习能力和综合语言能力已经远远超过传统教科书能体现的内涵，并且成为英语教学改革的重点。
　　本研究旨在通过在天津城市职业学院的30名在校生中开展项目教学实验来探索学生在语言能力和自主学习能力的方面的提高。
　　这个实验的结果证明当学生试图控制学习过程，学会与他人协作并且利用一定的语言材料时，他们会发现在全真的学习情境中，学习过程很有意义和乐趣。
　　实验后，学生肯定了在听、说、读、写方面的收获。通过对学生最终成果的分析可以看出，学生在学习过程中运用了较复杂的分析和评判技能，掌握了大量的词汇、复杂句型和结构，体现出良好的协调一致性。学生在自主学习能力的提高方面也更为自信，更为重要的是，在和同伴的合作中找到更大的乐趣。
