论高职高专商务英语专业建设

讨论高职高专商务英语专业建设的重要性和必要性,提出了一些的措施和办法。文章认为高职高专商务英语专业的建设要从专业定位、教学目标、教学模式、课程体系、实训教学、师资建设等几个层面入手。商务英语专业是外语语言学及应用语言学的学科,具有职业教育性和工具性特征,主要培养从事涉外商务活动的高等应用性复合型专门人才,其教学内容是向学生传授和培养商务行为所需要的、够用的英语、商科和跨文化交际的应用性知识和实用性技能。目前普遍采用的英语＋商务知识教学模式及教学体系基本符合高职高专教育特点及培养目标,比较薄弱的是实训教学,应该采取多种方式大力加强, “双师型”师资的培养也迫在眉睫,应通过在职或脱产的多种方式培养。

On the Construction of Business English Specialty at Three-Year Colleges

The paper focuses on the discussion of the significance and necessity of constructing the Business English specialty at three-year colleges. It offers some suggestions for improving the present situation. According to the writers, the improvement can be made in clearly defining the service orientation, teaching objectives, teaching mode and course system, reinforcing practice teaching and having qualified teachers. Although the specialty belongs to the linguistics category, it is of vocational and instrumental characteristics. It aims at turning out qualified students for international businesses, who have enough basic knowledge and skills in English and business for their future work. Generally speaking, the present teaching mode is appropriate for the teaching purpose and objectives. However, the practice teaching is not enough for students＇ future work, and teachers with knowledge and skills in both English and business are badly needed.
