On the Curriculum System of Faculty of English Language and Literature%2C the University of Oxford

牛津大學英文系本科和研究生的專業課程具體設置既直觀顯 示出其研究、教育内容幾乎涵蓋了英語語言文學學科所有領域的學 術容量，也反映了牛津對英語語言文學學科的定義、定位、核心内 容的理解和詮釋。同時這個經過長期建設、科學穩定的英語語言文 學學科本身即成為牛津英文系規劃統籌、乃至具體設置課程的直接 理論依據。此外，牛津的這種尊重遵守學科、學術規律的原則理念 和教育培養體系在一定程度上也能夠為中國大陸高校英文專業當 下加強英語學科本位建設和人文通識教育的改革、乃至為大陸和臺 灣的英語語言文學學界的研究方向、趨勢和方法提供一定的建議和 啓示。\r謝詞：感謝牛津大學Ralph Hanna教授、Vincent Gillespie教授、 James Willoughby博士、筆者的學生楊柳小姐、趙菁小姐以及《慈 濟大學教育研究學刊》雨位未謀面的審稿教授在本稿前後歷時一年 半的準備和寫作過程中給與筆者的寶貴建議和大力幫助。文中所有 不當之處均為筆者的責任。

English curriculum contents for undergraduate and graduate students of English at Oxford University not only show the institute’s academic capacities covering almost every branch of the field of English language and literature， but also indicate understanding of the subject. Also， it cannot be denied that a good， long constructed and scientific subject itself essentially supports the theoretical background and justification for the curriculum. Moreover， we can expect that Oxford philosophy of respecting nature and scientific discipline， as well as the present curriculum， will provide some valuable direction to the current reform of university English majors， and further development of Chinese academic circles for English language and literature in Mainland China and Taiwan.
