摘要:英语二专作为社会对英语复合型人才需求才应运而生。现在的大多数高等院校也设立了英语二专这个专业,重庆科技学院也不例外。现目前有很多基于需求分析上英语专业课程设置的研究,这些研究指出课程设置应当遵循的原则,找出现有的缺陷并提出改革的建议。但几乎没有明确的研究是针对英语二专的课程设置,本文通过问卷调查和访谈的方式,对60名不同年级的二专学生和3名二专任课教师,基于需求分析理论来找出存在于现有的课程设置中的问题和缺陷,并针对性的提出解决的建议和意见。希望更多的人能关注和重视这一方面,试图为建议课程设置改革,优化课程结构框架和促进英语二专课程设置贡献一份力。调查结果可以归纳为三个方面,第一,本校的课程设置没有问题,但是在教学过程中出现了一些问题;第二,如学生对课程的掌握度没有达到期望值,因此在教学过程中老师应该多关注学生;第三,学生认为更应该注重基础型课程;而且希望二专课程安排在周一到周五,可以将周末的时间拿来做一些其他有意义的事情。
