课程是研究生教育的重要组成部分之一。针对当前教学研究对英语专业研究生课程关注不足的问题,本研究采用定性的研究方法,依托英语专业研究生教育机构的典型个案,通过对在读研究生进行深度访谈采集研究数据,重点关注英语专业研究生课程存在的问题。研究发现,英语专业研究生教育机构仍然存在英语专业课和其他课程比例失衡、关键课程开设不够充分、学生选课缺乏指导、课程教学深度不够、课程教学理论与实践失衡等问题。本研究不仅分析了问题存在的原因,而且还提出了问题应对措施。研究结果能为英语专业研究生教育机构的课程建设提供有益的参考。

Curriculum is an important part of postgraduates’ education. In view of the inadequate attention to curriculum study for English-majoring postgraduates, this study probed the problem concerning curriculum through a qualitative study of a typical educational institution for English-majoring postgraduates with in-depth interview as an instrument of data collection. The study discovered the problems of disproportionated courses on English studies and non-English studies, inadequate offering of important courses, insufficient guidance in postgraduates’ selection of courses, and unbalanced courses for theory and practice. Causes of the problems were examined and their coping strategies were proposed. The findings are likely to benefit the development of curriculum for English-majoring postgraduates in Chinese tertiary institutions.
