3、观念、培养目标、教学内容和方法等也要对应改变。英语教学要侧重语言功效和交际技能,而不是局限在语言符号系统和语言知识。英语教学要培养用英语做事本事,而不是考试做题本事。学英语要改text为task,改“懂know”为“会can”;改“学study”为“干do”。语言工具性、人文性、教育性决定了语言与认知、思维、社会、交际和素质等有千丝万缕联络。语言学习是刺激反应过程;是培养技能过程;是体验交际过程;是情感经历过程;是文化学习过程;包含彼此文化和多元文化,总之是人生经历过程。第5页 “语言学习企业语言学习企业”“企业”:人们为取得利益经过努力挣得知识、技能、利润、业绩和经历场所。-剑桥国际英语大辞
4、典英语教学过程就像企业人才培训,为企业商界所需要知识、技能、利益、业绩、经历而学习。在进行英语训练同时,培养团体精神、合作、沟通、思辨等能力。英语利用效果能够对商贸生意输赢、管理绩效好坏、企业命运起伏等起决定作用。语言利用质量能够反应一个人水平和聘用这个人企业水平。第6页 英语与相关方面关系英语与相关方面关系1)英语与国际规范和礼节关系2)英语与国家/企业形象和国际公关效果关系3)英语与国家战略发展关系4)基础英语与专业英语关系5)英语知识和英语技能关系二十一世纪是信息时代,信息靠语言传递。二十一世纪是经济全球化时代,全球化行为需要全球化语言沟通。二十一世纪是人才竞争时代,国际人才必要条件之一
5、是英语。二十一世纪是跨文化交际时代,跨文化交际需要跨国用语。有些人说,WTO是“狼”,那么,“与狼共舞”也要知道“狼”语言,要知道“狼”想干什么,要骂人也要让对方听得懂。第7页Englishlanguagevarietiestoolbehaviorskilllearning purposesMeans/mediumculture&cultures第8页serviceBusinesstrademanufactureoffice routines第9页Business Englishfeaturestext-typesvocabularysituationsnotionsfunctions第10页
