摘 要:借鉴国际和国内学术英语教学的诸多实践与理论,引入学术素养的概念,指出蔡基刚教授《通用学术英语》系列教程的目标读者包括高中国际班学生、大学一二年级学生和研究生新生,一方面说明了学术素养在我国教育体系中的广泛缺乏,另一方面指出这个定位具有一定的误导性,对于不同级别教育机构一线从事学术英语教学的教师们来说,学术英语课程设计存在梯度性问题,尤其是研究生的学术英语教学与本科生的学术英语教学至少应该存在一定的通用性、衔接性和递进性。文章对于课程设计者和教材编写者具有一定的价值。

Abstract: In light of the numerous reports of academic English teaching around the world, introducing the concept of academic literacy, this paper is inspired by Professor Cai Jigang, who is cited to claim that the series of EGAP textbooks he has compiled target at the international high school classes, freshmen or sophomore undergraduates and the first-year postgraduate students, which is confusing and misleading to the front-line teachers as postgraduates face much more complex academic tasks and there have to be differences between postgraduate and undergraduate EGAP teaching. This paper draws upon the latest research findings to suggest academic English courses for postgraduate students pursuing a master's degree contains elements of EGP, EGAP and ERPP, emphasizing its general-purpose, transitional and gradient features. This paper is of value to curriculum designers and textbook compilers.
Keywords: academic English courses for post-graduates pursuing a master's degree; academic literacy; general-purpose;transitionality; gradient
