【摘要】 近年来，许多学者就大学英语课程的教学改革做了很多研究，并已取得了相当的成果。但是，许多研究都是以英语专业学生或综合大学的物理、化学、中文等非英语专业学生为研究对象的，而对于大学音、体、美专业学生的研究却相对很少。 这是一项有关大学音、体、美专业英语课程在开设中存在问题与对策的相关研究。研究之前，本人先对长春市的几所高等院校的音、体、美专业展开相应的调查，并且取得了相关的资料，这为调查问卷的设计提供了先决条件。随后，笔者对全国一些院校的音、体、美专业学生发放了正式的调查问卷，此项研究按计划得到了实施。 调查问卷由以下三个部分组成：对目的需求和学习需求的认识调查，其中包括为什么要学习大学英语等七个方面的调查内容。学生对目的需求和学习需求的认识与《大纲》认识情况调查统计对比。大学音、体、美专业英语课程教学现状的调查，其中包括教学方法等17项调查内容。 相应的数据分析是为了找到目前大学音、体、美专业英语课程在开设中存在的问题。研究结果表明，大学音、体、美专业英语课程在开设中存在着诸多问题，主要体现在教材内容、教学方法、教学手段和教学评价等方面。根据需求分析理论、人本主义理论和评价理论(形成性评价理论和终结性评价理论)，提出了修订和完善教学大纲，实行分级教学等五项解决问题的对策。 本论文所从事的研究可为外语教育工作者在完善《大纲》和课程设置等方面提供纠正偏差的实证依据。对大学非英语专业的教学改革能够起到一定的促进作用，对提高大学外语教学成效有一定的现实意义。更多还原

【Abstract】 In recent years, scholars have made different kinds of investigations on innovations in English-teaching curriculum for college students. They have made considerable achievements. But most of them mainly focused on the curriculum for English majors, or for non-English majors from Physics, Chemistry, or Chinese department or some other comparatively important departments, in which the students’ English examination marks are comparatively high. Few deep studies have been made on the English curriculum and teaching effects for arts and sports majors in universities.This essay mainly deals with the issues of solutions to the problems in the English curriculum for arts and sports majors whose English levels are not very high. The survey concerning the curriculum was conducted among students from the arts and sports departments in several universities in Changchun city. Abundant relevant materials were found from many libraries both in Changchun and other cities, which provided all the information for the self-made questionnaire. Later, the survey was also conducted among some arts and sports majors in universities in other cities of our country by asking them to fill out the questionnaires.The final questionnaire is composed of three parts: 1. the investigation on the target needs and the learning needs, which include seven items, such as the students’ motives for learning English. 2. the statistical contrast between the students’ understanding of target needs, learning needs and the situation described in the syllabus. 3. the investigation on the issues of English curriculum for arts and sports majors, which consists of seventeen items, including the methodology of teaching these students English.This essay has made some statistical analyses to find the problems of English curriculum for arts and sports majors in universities. Results show that there are a considerable amount of problems for students in arts and sports, which have been clearly shown in the teaching materials, teaching methods and teaching evaluation.
