在国际学术交流与合作日趋频繁的当今社会,在国际顶级学术期刊上发表原创成果的多寡和引用情况已经成为评判一所高校乃至整个国家科研能力和国际影响力的重要指标,也是评判研究生学业水平的一个重要参数。提升研究生学术英语写作能力对于促进国际学术交流、提升我国学者的国际学术话语权都具有积极意义。研究生公共英语课程应以需为本,只有将语言学习和学生的专业学术研究相结合,才能从根本上激发学生的学习兴趣和动机。以建筑学科研究生学术英语写作教学为例,通过实例,从目的性、专业性、思辨性与合作性四个方面探讨了研究生学术英语写作项目中的任务设置原则,以期为项目驱动下的研究生学术英语写作教学带来启示,从而切实提高学生的学术英语写作能力,实现学以致用的目标。

In today’s world where international academic communication and cooperation become frequent, publishing original research has become an embodiment of a university’s capacity, or even a nation’s capacity for scientific research and an embodiment of a country’s international influence. It is also an important parameter for assessing academic performance of postgraduates. Enhancing students’ academic writing ability in English is essential not only in promoting international academic communication, but also in increasing the chance of making Chinese scholars heard in the international academic arena. English academic writing courses for postgraduates should be based on students’ needs, combining language study with students’ needs for academic research in their subject areas, thus enhancing their motivation and interest in study. Through academic writing examples in architecture, this paper discusses task design principles of English academic writing projects from the aspects of purposefulness, specialism, critical thinking and collaboration, in the hope of bringing some enlightenment to project-based English academic writing courses for postgraduates, thus enhancing students’ academic writing ability and realizing the goal of putting what they have learned into practice in the real world.
