在中国文化背景下促进大学英语专业学生的学习自主性

论文摘要

通过调查发现在中国大学里, 英语教学基本上还是“教师为中心”的模式, 使学生过分地依赖老师,学习自主性比较差。这既不符合我们国家的教育目标, 也不利于学生的长远发展。在存在“自主学习是否适合象中国这样有不同教育传统的文化背景”的怀疑下,本文从中国文化的角度,探索了促进中国学生学习外语自主性的问题。中国文化对学生学习外语自主性的影响在文中得到充分阐述。同时,问卷调查结果显示:中国学生并不希望自己成为被动学习者,相反地,他们强烈地希望管理自己的整个学习过程。然而, 自主学习这一能力并不是天生具备的,而是需要后天培训的。所以,本文还探索了要在中国文化背景下促进学习自主性的准备,包括教师,学生,材料,工具,方法等方面。在主要探讨了两个问题:自主学习果真在中国文化背景下不适合吗?怎样在中国文化背景下促进大学英语专业学生的学习自主性?,本文旨在告诉中国学生怎样去“钓鱼”,从而使他们一生都“享用”。
