采用问卷和访谈结合的方法调查中医药院校非英语专业学生英语自主学习能力的现状。调查表明学生自主学习能力较差:不能把教师的教学目的转化为自己的学习目的,基本上不制订学习计划,不了解学习策略,学习和练习语言技能的主动性差。基于此,从教师的角度探讨了培养和提高学生英语自主学习能力的方法。 Investigate the current situation of self-learning ability of non-English majors in Chinese medicine colleges by means of questionnaire and interviews. The survey shows that students have poor self-learning ability. Teachers can not be transformed into their own learning goals. They basically do not have a learning plan, do not understand learning strategies, and have poor initiative in learning and practicing language skills. Based on this, the methods of cultivating and improving students’ ability of autonomous learning in English are discussed from the perspective of teachers.
