“新工科”背景下环境生物技术双语教学的改革策略与实践反思

Reform and practical experience of bilingual course for “Environmental Biotechnology” with the development of “Emerging Engineering Education”

摘要:

“新工科”建设是以培养工程实践能力、创新能力和国际竞争力的高素质复合型人才为目标，双语课程已成为培养既懂专业又能进行国际交流的复合型人才的有效手段之一。然而，大多数双语课程教学效果不是很理想。本文在分析当前双语教学普遍存在问题的基础上，以环境生物技术双语课程为例，从教学模式构建、质控体系建立、教材选用和考核方式优化等方面探讨了改进的策略，从提高教师教学能力、学生学习热情和学校政策保障等方面总结了既往的经验和不足，以期为提高双语教学效果提供借鉴。

Abstract:

The construction of “Emerging Engineering Education” aims at cultivating high-quality graduates capable of engineering practice, innovation and international competitiveness. Bilingual courses have become one of the effective means to cultivate qualified students with skills of both professional knowledge and international communication. However, the teaching effect of most bilingual courses is not very ideal. Based on analyzing common problems in the current bilingual teaching, we take the bilingual course of environmental biotechnology as an example, and discusses possible improvement strategies from the aspects of the construction of teaching mode, the establishment of quality control system, the selection of textbooks and the optimization of assessment methods. Moreover, we summarize experience and shortcomings on improving the lecturers’ ability, students’ learning enthusiasm and school’s support. It is expected to provide useful reference for improving the effect of bilingual teaching in biotechnology-relevant courses.
