内容摘要:新时代和2018年版《普通高等学校本科专业教学质量国家标准》对外语专业人才培养提出了新要求,英语专业文学课程不应该仅仅局限于文学知识教学,而应该注重文学能力培养,强调多维能力指向,促进学生的文学鉴赏能力和批评能力、思辨能力、跨文化能力、价值判断能力的形成和提高。这既是时代和新国家标准的要求,也是文学课程本身能够胜任的使命。本文认为,应该以多维能力为指向,从课程与课程体系、教学方法与模式、教材和资源建设等方面全面推动文学教学改革,充分发挥文学课程在英语专业学生多维能力培养中的作用。
关键词:英语专业;文学课程;文学能力;多维能力指向

Title: Multi-Competency-Oriented Reform of Literature Courses for Undergraduate English Majors
Abstract: Chinas New Era and the 2018 The National Standards of Teaching Quality for Undergraduate Majors in Higher Education Institutions have laid down new requirements for talent cultivation of undergraduate foreign language and literature majors. Accordingly, the literature courses for undergraduate English majors are expected, and competent too, to go beyond teaching literary knowledge and to target at cultivating students multiple competencies, including competencies in literary appreciation and criticism, critical thinking, and value-judgement, and cross-cultural competency as well. This paper believes that a curriculum reform based on the multi-competency orientation can be carried out in 3 aspects—curriculum reconstruction, teaching methodology and modes, and textbook- and databank-construction—so as to enhance the quality and functions of literature courses for undergraduate English majors.
Key words: English majors; literature courses; literary competency; multiple competency orientation

从中国英语专业发展史和相关的国家文件精神来看,文学课程始终被视为英语专业课程体系的重要组成部分,英语本科专业一般开设英美文学史、文学选读等文学类课程。不过,在英语专业人才培养实践中,文学课程设置与教学实施还存在诸多问题。一方面,部分高校英语专业的文学课程开设不全、不足,部分高校英语专业甚至只开设一门英美文学选读课。另一方面,在现有的文学课程设置和教学实践中重文学知识,轻文学能力;重作品选读,轻理论学习;局限于文学范围,忽略其对达成外语专业人才培养总体目标的价值。……
