高校本科学术英语课程“对分 + 微课”模式的教学实效

为了提高大学生的英语学术能力，“对分 + 微课”模式被南方科技大学引入通用学术英语教学当中。它的核心思想是把一半课堂时间分配给老师讲授，另一半以讨论的形式分配给学生进行互动式学习，并将微课插入到这两个阶段之间的课后学习过程中，帮助学生进行英语学术技能的内化。该研究共有164名本科生自愿参与，采用混合式研究方法通过学生问卷和深入访谈收集数据，并进行描述性统计和归纳性主题分析。研究结果表明，该模式不仅能有效地保证理工科大学生对学术英语技能和要领的反思和实践，还能提高他们的学习自主独立性、学术英语语言的运用以及思辨能力。该教学模型具有独特的优势，可以在大学学术英语类课程中进行进一步尝试。

“PAD + microlectures” model was introduced to SUSTech undergraduates’ EAP teaching in order to improve students’ learning performance. Its key idea is to allocate half of the class time for teacher’s presentation and the other half for students’ interactive learning in the form of discus-sion. Microlectures are inserted into the after-class assimilation between the two stages to help students assimilate academic English skills. 164 SUSTech undergraduates voluntarily participated in this mixed-method study. The data was collected by student questionnaire and in-depth interviews for descriptive analysis and inductive thematic analysis. Research findings show that this model could not only effectively guarantee science-and-engineering undergraduates’ practice and reflection of academic essentials, but also improve their autonomy and independence in learning, academic language use as well as critical thinking skills. Therefore, it is argued that this model has unique strength and can be further experimented in university EAP classes.
