摘要:英语作为非母语在世界学校教育中被广泛设置为外语/二语(EFL/ESL)课程;然而国际英语语言教学领域的课程研究却步履迟缓。20世纪80年代以来;语言课程研究随着国际英语语言教学领域的教育转向逐步得到重视;课程日渐被视为统整语言教学各个要素的一个重要的系统性框架。本文对英语语言教学领域使用的基本课程术语予以辨析与解读;勾勒英语语言教学的课程研究发展历程;指出已有课程研究的不足;旨在为国内英语教学领域的课程研究提供国际背景和经验借鉴。
English as a non-native language(EFL/ESL) is generally included in the worldwide school curriculum,but curriculum studies in international ELT are stepping forward very slowly.Since the 1980s,however,curriculum studies have being highlighted along with the pedagogical turn in the ELT field,and curriculum is gradually viewed as an important systematic framework integrating all dimensions and factors of ELT.The present paper thus analyses the use of basic terms,traces the development route,and points out existing problems of curriculum studies in international ELT.It is expected that the review can provide international background and experience for curriculum studies in domestic ELT.
