本文报告北京外国语大学英语专业近年本科课程体系改革的理念、措施和初步成果。此次改革源于复合型专业兴起给英语专业带来的定位困惑和生存危机,以及学生对以英语技能训练为主的课程体系合理性的质疑。改革的目的是建立一个能够反映英语教育人文主义本质、融合学科教育与外语技能训练、选课机制灵活以达到因材施教目的的课程体系。

This paper reports on the philosophy,measures and initial results of the English curriculum reform that has been going on at Beijing Foreign Studies University over the past few years.The reform is based on reflections over the confusion and survival crisis that English departments have experienced following the rapid development of double subjects such as English and journalism,English and law,English and international relations and English and international business in foreign studies universities and the doubts students have about the emphasis on language skills training.The reform aims at creating a curriculum that reflects the humanistic tradition of English language education,integrates subject studies with the training of language skills,and provides a flexible course selection system to cater for different individual needs.
