中国人民大学经管类博士生学术英语拔尖班课程方案“西方学者和中国人民大学博士生笔下的中国经济与管理——英语学术论文写作与演讲”
中国人民大学 李桂荣
一、选课说明
经管类博士生学术英语拔尖班“西方学者和中国人民大学博士生笔下的中国经济与管理——英语学术论文写作与演讲”课是中国人民大学博士生英语必修课系统的正常组成部分，拔尖班教学内容与其他博士生英语教学班不同，但课时、课程学分、平时成绩、期末考试与其他教学班相同。此拔尖班主要供中国人民大学经济类和管理类博士生选上。由于此课是正常英语课的一个课堂，所以博士生英语课提前过关考试通过的学生不能选此课。
拔尖班每学期只开1个班，每班人数不超过20人。第1学期和第2学期，都是周二下午上课，每周4学时。拔尖班学生在上课后第1、2周内可以选择调班，但不能办理免修（其他博士生英语班可以办理免修）。
虽然原则上任何需要上英语课的经管类博士生都可以选上此课，但鉴于课程难度大、研读量大、作业量大、平时要求高，同学们要仔细斟酌后才可以选课。
二、课程简介
经管类博士生学术英语拔尖班“西方学者和中国人民大学博士生笔下的中国经济与管理——英语学术论文写作与演讲”课是中国人民大学经管类研究生学术英语硕士生和博士生一体化教学的一个环节，是经管类硕士生学术英语拔尖班（“英语版《国富论》第1卷精读和英语学术论文写作与演讲”）的自然延伸，供经管类博士生特别是在硕士阶段上过经管类学术英语拔尖班的学生选上。教学过程中，学生在教师的带领下分析经管类国际一流英语学术期刊中西方学者论述中国经济与管理的论文，以西方学者的论文为榜样进行论文写作，论述中国的经济与管理，写作课主要成果是教学班每位学生完成1篇可以向自己研究领域英语学术期刊投稿的学术论文；学生在教师的带领下分析以英语为工作语言的国际学术会议演讲实例，以优秀演讲为榜样进行演讲练习，讲述中国的经济与管理，演讲课的主要成果是学生具备符合国际学术演讲规范的、具有良好沟通效果的英语学术演讲能力。
三、课程宗旨
这个课旨在使学生在西方学者视角的启迪下获得关于中国经济与管理“强与弱”的灵感，探求其成因，把握其变化与发展脉动；使学生通过解读中国经济与管理在英语语言系统中的表述掌握英语语言的生成机制，学会用英语表达自己的专业思想和研究成果。

本课以研究和实践相结合的方法进行。研究包括理论研究和实证研究。理论研究主要是对英语期刊论文写作理论的研究，目的是从理论上把握英语期刊论文各个部分的本质属性和展示方式，实证研究主要是对经管类国际一流英语学术期刊中西方学者论述中国经济与管理的论文的研究，目的是从现实例子中感受英语期刊论文的定位、水平、叙事方式、描述方式和论述方式以及语言风格。实践是学生以向自己专业领域的英语期刊投稿为目的和以在自己专业领域的英语国际会议演示自己的研究成果为目的进行论文写作。学生通过研究和实践，争取每位同学参加1次正式英语学术演讲，完成1篇可以向自己研究领域的英语学术期刊投稿的学术论文。
本课以实践为核心。学生向“榜样”文章学习，向“榜样”演讲学习，进行实践。教师对学生的习作进行精细批阅和评点。
本课是英语语言课，但思想是语言的载体，因此教师对学生作品的批阅、评点和建议是语言和思想的集成。
六、学生任务
为实现设定学习目标，学生需要在教师的带领下按课程进程同步进行写作理论研究、写作内容的专业性思考、语言方法性写作实践和完整文章写作实践。课程过程中，学生积极参加学生自己本专业领域的国际会议，实际参与学术演讲。本班所有学生参与（每年例行的）6月第1个周六举行的中国人民大学非英语专业研究生（包括硕士生和博士生）学术英语演讲比赛。整个课程，每位学生最重要的作品是完成1篇可以向自己研究领域的英语学术期刊投稿的学术论文。
七、学生考试考查和成绩构成
学生学习评价分为考试、平时成绩和论文写作成果验收三大部分。在课程总成绩中，考试占50%，学生参加全校所有上英语课的博士生都参加的博士英语期末统一考试。平时成绩占30%，其中演讲课占20%，写作课占10%。论文写作成果验收占20%，是学生在课程结束时向任课教师提交的已完成的完整的英语学术论文。
