论基于真实语料的ESP教学任务设计

摘要

外语教学设计中的真实性一直都是ESP教学研究的热点之一。过程派、终端/产品派以及折衷派对ESP教学中的真实性各有不同的解读。终端/产品派简单强调了教学语料的真实性却未能考虑学习者本身；过程派过度拘泥于学习者水平从而使得教学语篇和真实语料之间存在难以跨越的鸿沟；唯折衷派取长补短，有效解决了学习者水平和教学用真实语料之间的矛盾。基于此，本文提出，大学层次的ESP教学必须基于真实语料，设计难度不同的交际任务，从而培养学习者在真实语言环境下的交际能力。%Authenticityin language teachinghas alwaysbeen a hotissue in ESP. Process-based approach, terminal/product-basedapproach and eclectic approach interpret authenticity in different ways. Terminal/product-based approachfocuses purely on the authenticity of the material without noticing the learners differences.Process-based approachpays too much attention to the learners without filling the gap between teaching and authentic materials.The eclectic approach synthesizes the advantages of the first two approaches.Based onthis findings, this paper argues that ESP at tertiary level is supposed tobeauthentic, employ authentic materials properly, and design authenticandcommunicative tasksof different difficulty index, thus cultivates the communicative competence in authentic language environment.
