教育发展视域下英语专业学生核心素养培养策略

Cultivation Strategies for Core Literacy of English Majors from the Perspective of Educational Development

摘要: 英语专业核心素养是区别于通用英语素养、锚定专业人才职业与学术成长方向的能力体系，包含语言能力、文化意识、思维品质、学习能力四个层级化维度。本文以《高级英语》课程为研究载体，选取“西方节日文化比较”教学单元为具体案例，基于Byram (1997)跨文化交际能力(ICC)理论模型与能力本位教育(CBE)理论，通过为期一学期的教学改革实验，综合运用课堂观察、学生作业分析、半结构化访谈与问卷调查等研究方法，考察核心素养导向的教学干预对学生四个维度素养发展的实际效果。研究首先结合新文科建设与高等外语教育发展的时代要求解析核心素养的内涵，在此基础上从语言能力夯实、文化意识培育、思维品质提升三个层面明确培养的内容指向，结合《高级英语》课程“西方节日文化比较”单元设计给出具象的素养落地方法及完整的教学实施方案(含学习目标、任务描述、实施步骤与评价标准)，最后从课程内容供给、课堂教学组织、考核评价体系三个维度提出完整的实践优化路径，以期为英语专业核心课程的教学改革提供可复制的实践参照。

Abstract: The core literacy of English majors is a competency system that differs from general English literacy and anchors the vocational and academic growth trajectory of professional talents. It consists of four hierarchical dimensions: linguistic competence, cultural awareness, thinking quality and learning ability. Taking the course Advanced English as the research carrier and the teaching unit “A Comparative Study of Western Festival Cultures” as a specific case, this paper carries out a one-semester teaching reform experiment grounded in Byram’s (1997) Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC) theoretical model and Competency-Based Education (CBE) theory. Multiple research methods including classroom observation, student assignment analysis, semi-structured interviews and questionnaire surveys are adopted to examine the practical effects of core literacy-oriented teaching interventions on the development of students’ literacy in the four aforementioned dimensions. First, this paper interprets the connotation of core literacy in response to the contemporary requirements of New Liberal Arts construction and the advancement of higher foreign language education. On this basis, it defines the targeted cultivation contents from three aspects: consolidating linguistic competence, fostering cultural awareness and improving thinking quality. Furthermore, it puts forward concrete implementation approaches for literacy cultivation alongside a complete teaching plan (covering learning objectives, task descriptions, implementation procedures and evaluation criteria) tailored to the unit “A Comparative Study of Western Festival Cultures” in Advanced English. Finally, a comprehensive practical optimization framework is proposed from three dimensions: curriculum content provision, classroom teaching organization and assessment and evaluation system, aiming to offer replicable practical references for the teaching reform of core courses for English majors.
