【摘要】：大学英语是高校中规模最大,学生选修人数最多的课程。从1978年恢复高考以来,大学英语教学内容倍受学界和社会关注,就其教学定位问题饱受争议。历史上曾经发生四次较大的争论,分别是普通英语与科技英语、文学英语与实用英语、强调阅读与听说领先和通用英语与学术英语之争。尽管四次争论的内容不完全一样,但背后反映的都是国家外语要求与教学规律要求的博弈。前者是从国家面临的政治经济需求提出对外语教学的宏观要求,后者是从外语教学规律出发制定教学大纲,设计具体课程要求。这两种要求往往不一致。在这种情况下,外语教学应跳出学科视野,学习许国璋先生,坚持真理,以国家利益为重,最大程度满足国家外语能力要求。
[Abstract]:College English is the largest course in colleges and universities with the largest number of students. Since the college entrance examination was resumed in 1978, the content of college English teaching has attracted much attention from the academic and social circles. There have been four major debates in history, namely, general English and scientific English, literary English and practical English. Emphasizing the leadership of reading and listening and the dispute between general English and academic English. Although the content of the four debates is not exactly the same, However, it reflects the game between the national foreign language requirements and the requirements of teaching rules. The former puts forward the macro requirements for foreign language teaching from the political and economic demands faced by the country, and the latter formulates the syllabus from the perspective of the law of foreign language teaching. The two requirements are often inconsistent. In this case, foreign language teaching should jump out of the subject field of vision, learn from Mr. Xu Guozhang, adhere to the truth, focus on national interests, and meet the requirements of national foreign language competence to the maximum extent.
