本课程是我校本科生的一门公共基础必修课,具有工具性和人文性双重性质,是高中英语教学的提升和拓展,是我校人文科学教育的一个重要组成部分。
我们将课程置于我校强军新工科教育范式的基本框架中,遵循“学员为主体、教员为主导”的教学理念,对标中国英语能力等级量表,以英语语言知识与技能,社会、文化、科学等基本知识和英语学习策略为主要教学内容,全面实施“课堂教学、网络学习、课外语言实践”相结合的混合式教学模式,培养学生的听、说、读、写、译的语言技能,增强跨文化交际意识和交际能力,同时发展自主学习能力,提高综合文化素养,使学生成为“具备一定的国际视野,能够在跨文化背景下进行沟通和交流的”强军新工科人才,满足国家重大战略需要,适应人类社会逐步进入信息文明社会对人才需求的转变。
课前,老师向学生推送学习任务清单、课件、微视频、文本和学习软件,学生进行线上线下个人自学或小组合作学习,完成初始任务;课中,针对学生的共性问题,老师对教学重难点进行提纲挈领的讲授,创设有价值的交际活动,使学生在限时演讲、辩论、表演等交流互动实践中提升学习的获得感。课后,通过微信、QQ群等社交媒体,建立课程论坛,供学生讨论交流及在线答疑。借助“批改网”在线英文写作平台,让学生在线提交作业、展示成果。我们还借助itest大学英语训练与测试系统、fif英语口语写作训练平台、ilearning在线英语学习资源库,设计试题、进行组卷,要求学生进行课前课后自测。

FAQ (常见问题)
Will I have to pay for the course?
No. You can take the course for free. You don’t have to pay for it unless you want to receive the NUDT Certificate of Course Accomplishment when you successfullly complete the course.
Will I get a Certificate of Accomplishment after completing this course?
Yes. Anyone who successfully completes the course will receive the NUDT Certificate of Course Accomplishment signed by the instructor. The certification will be issued for two forms: the electronic and the hardcopy. The former will be free, whereas the latter will charge 100 renmibi for the prime cost.
Will I get feedback on my written work?
Yes. There are peer evaluations of your work that are the basis of the course grade. In addition, your final examination essay will be graded by our teaching staff members, and you will receive comments and suggestions for further studies.
Will this course provide instruction on grammar?
No, not really. Although grammar is important and resources on grammar will be provided, this course is focused primarily on how to write essays. We will focus at times on sentence-level aspects of writing thesis statements and topic sentences, but our primary interest is in communicating your ideas effectively to readers.
Will the course be especially difficult if a student is not very proficient in the English language?
Yes, perhaps. Students who take the course should have basic proficiency of the English language, because our work will involve discussions about how native speakers use English, and what different expectations they have for college writing. However, our course will have experts on English as a Second/Foreign Language to provide resources, model feedback practices, facilitate productive conversations, and provide instruction at times.
Will this course be geared primarily to courses of scientific and technical writing in English?
No, not really. This course will help you with academic writing for all disciplines but in a more general sense. We have experts working with the course who have doctorates or long years of teaching experience across literature, social sciences, humanities, and, honestly, we will not be able to address specific conventions in diverse disciplines of science and engineering. We will ask you to reflect on how you can transfer the writing knowledge you gain in this course to other writing experiences you might have in scientific research or technical communication.
