长期以来,英语学习在学生的各阶段学习中占据着重要地位。随着文化知识的日益丰富和对外交流的日益增多,可供学生进行英语学习的材料也越来越多。然而在琳琅满目的英语学习材料中,我们不难发现,偏重于普通日常交流和各类等级考试辅导的综合性基础英语占据了大多数,而有专业侧**的专业性英语则居于少数。在英语教学方面,学生在学校中所学习到的英语也以综合性基础英语为主,专业英语则作为选修甚至是自学课程。通过一线教师对学生们的调查,许多学生在系统地学习过综合性基础英语后,仍然很难得心应手地在自己的专业领域中应用英语这种语言工具。究其原因,就是因为学生们很少或者从未接触过相关专业英语方面的材料,以至于对专业词汇、专业术语、专业表达十分陌生,对英文版的专业书刊及材料无法读懂,更不用提与外界进行专业方面的英语交流。
这样的一个结果反映出了这样一个问题:专业英语具有特殊性,它是由英语语言知识和某种专业知识结合而成,不能等同于一般综合性基础英语。所以,作为具有专业侧重性学习的学生来说,仅仅学习好综合性基础英语是不够的。若想在其专业领域中达到与国际接轨和进行国际交流的目的,必须进行专业英语的学习。编写《高等学校高职
