在不断的教学过程中,对西方文论课程的教学内容和教学方法的改革,我们有诸多尝试,也进行了一定探索和试验。但针对应用型大学的定位来说,西方文论课程的内容一直没有大的改动,内容学理性过强,内容大多都注重全面。而应用型大学要求培养的人才注重实用性,技能性。因此我们要从这方面设置课程内容(选取最经典的理论和文学文本)和教学方法。 In the process of continuous teaching, we have tried many attempts and conducted some exploration and experiment on the reform of teaching contents and teaching methods of western literary theory courses. However, for the orientation of applied university, the content of western literary theory has not been greatly changed. The content is too rational and the content is mostly focused on the comprehensiveness. The application-oriented university personnel training requirements focus on practicality, skills. Therefore, we should set the course content (choose the most classic theoretical and literary texts) and teaching methods from this aspect.
