在从事航海英语课程多年教学工作中发现学生对这门课缺乏自主学习的习惯,往往是死记硬背、填鸭式被动学习。为了改善这一现状,笔者在教学实践中发现提高学生自主学习的途径主要有加强学生对课程的正确认识和激发学生学习积极性两方面手段。 Many years of teaching in maritime English courses found that students lack of self-learning habits of this course is often rote memorize, ducking passive learning. In order to improve this situation, I found in teaching practice ways to improve students ’self-learning are mainly to strengthen students’ correct understanding of the curriculum and to stimulate student learning enthusiasm both ways.
