在国际交往及教育国际化进程不断深入的背景下,高校学术英语课程建设日趋重要。以建筑学科本科生为例,采用问卷的方式,从学生现有语言水平及能力、英语学习目的、对大学英语课程的期望、目标需求以及学生对开设学术英语课程的认识及看法五个方面调查了解学生的英语学习需求。研究结果表明,学生已有多年的英语学习经历,具备一定的语言基础知识,具有多元的目标需求,渴望将英语学习和其专业研究及今后的职业发展相结合,对学术英语的呼声高涨。最后,从开设学术英语课程的必要性、多元学术英语课程构架的设置、课程教学内容的细化以及研究型教学法的应用四个方面对国内高校学术英语课程建设提出了意见和建议,以期切实提高学生的学术交流和沟通能力,把学生培养成为社会所需的复合型人才。

With increasing international contact and the deepening of education internationalization, EAP (English for Academic Purposes) course development has become increasingly important. By collecting questionnaire data from the college freshmen of the Faculty of the Built Environment, an English learning needs analysis was conducted from the following five aspects: students’ past learning experience, learning objectives, their expectations of college English courses, target needs and their understanding of the necessity of EAP courses in Chinese universities. The results show that students have years of past learning experience and have already acquired the basic knowledge and skills in English. They have multiple target needs and a strong desire to associate English learning with their subject study and future career development, thus they are eager for EAP courses at the university. This paper also presents some suggestions concerning the necessity of EAP course development, multiple course design, refinement of course contents and the adoption of research-based methodology, in the hope of enhancing students’ academic communicative competence, and making them the inter-disciplinary talents who are needed by the society.
