摘要： 针对近年来某学者关于高校大学英语必须定位为专门用途英语教学的主张,本文选取该学者发表在《光明日报》和《中国外语》上的两篇论文,质疑其中的主要观点及其论据,并阐述下述观点:(1)高等教育不等同于大学本科教育;(2)某些精英大学及其学生的情况不能代表我国大学和大学生的整体情况;(3)学术英语需要中级以上的通用英语能力为基础;(4)通用学术英语能力具有层次性;(5)通用英语课程在大学本科教育的多个层面发挥重要作用;(6)培养学术英语素养不是大学英语教学的唯一目标。希望通过争鸣,澄清大学英语教育的一些基本问题。

Abstract: Against a certain scholar's viewpoint that college English course should be located as ESP, the author, choosing the two papers written by the scholar and published in Guangming Daily and Foreign languages in China, tries to challenge the papers' main points with their arguments and illustrate the following viewpoints: ①Higher education is not an equivalence to undergraduate education. ②The situation of some key universities with their students can not represent the overall situations of colleges with their students in China. ③EAP study requires a foundation of intermediate EGP proficiency. ④ EGAP covers English proficiency in different levels. ⑤ EGP course functions in many dimensions of undergraduate education. ⑥Cultivating EAP proficiency is not the sole target of college English course. The author attempts to clarify some fundamental issues of college English education through his illustration.
