摘要
依托项目的学习(PBL)带给学生诸多益处,而以创新训练为取向的项目研究更是直接针对英语专业学生思辨能力和创新能力培养的教学薄弱环节。有鉴于此,英语专业教育应该充分借鉴该理念,经本土化实践后,融入现有英语专业课程和教学体系。笔者借鉴国外相关研究,基于南开大学连续6年实施依托项目的研究式学习之教学实践,尝试构建本土化的研究式学习实践模式,谓之iPBL。iPBL模式以培养创新能力为核心目标取向,以"课程项目化、项目课程化"为总原则,是以6阶段推进、多里程碑凸显、综合素质集成训练为特色的研究式学习教学模式。我们期望,iPBL能够成为对英语专业学生进行思辨和创新训练的重要手段和盘活学生已学语言知识和技能的有效途径。
Project-based learning (PBL) introduces a whole array of benefits to learners which become especially evident in innovation-oriented projectwork aiming to promote critical thinking and innovative ability in English majors, an aspect that is allegedly underdeveloped in English major education. English major education should draw on PBL theory, localize and integrate its practice into the current English curricula and education system. With reference to related studies abroad, and based on his six-year PBL practice in Nankai University, the author proposes a localized research-based teaching and learning model named iPBL. The iPBL model orients itself to innovative ability cultivation, abides by the principle of "curriculum as project and project as curriculum", and is characterized by featuring six progression stages with milestones for each and promoting integrated comprehensive training. The iPBL model is expected to constitute an important approach to promoting critical thinking and innovative training for English majors and at the same time serve as an effective means for mobilizing their acquired language and skills.
