20世纪 80年代以来 ,内容教学在世界外语教学界越来越受到重视 ,而我国大学外语教学界对此还没有充分的认识 ,在教材方面存在着语言陈旧、内容滞后、不实用、信息量小等问题。今后高校英语教材的改革必须朝实用型、信息型发展 ,教学内容要注意联系学生生活及社会实际。大学的英语教学 ,须从技能教学向内容教学转化。 Since the 1980s, content teaching has gained more and more attention in the foreign language teaching circles in the world. However, there is still a lack of sufficient knowledge about it in the field of foreign language teaching in our country. There are some problems in teaching materials, such as old language, backward content, impractical information and small amount of information And other issues. In the future, the reform of college English teaching materials must be towards practical and informative development, and the teaching content should pay attention to contacting students’ life and social reality. English teaching in universities should be transformed from skill teaching to content teaching.
