目前,教学部开设的研究生英语课程面向全校20多个学院、36个系、近100多个专业。每年选课的研究生人数(包括春季和秋季两个学期)达4000多人,其中硕士3100人,博士910人,工程硕士280人,MBA180人,MPA60人。硕士研究生英语课程学制为半年,授课时数为32学时;博士研究生英语课程学制为半年,授课时数为64学时。研究生英语教学采用以学生为主体的课上互动、课下依托网络、自主学习、双向结合、优势互补的教学模式,激发研究生学习英语的兴趣和潜能,循序渐进地实现从外语知识建构向外语能力培养的转变,使研究生从英语学习小课堂走向国际学术交流的大舞台,突出体现研究生英语教育多元化、个性化、网络化、国际化的特点。多年来,研究生英语教学部每年都分别举办全校范围的研究生英语演讲比赛、英语戏剧表演、模拟国际学术会议、英语歌曲大赛等课外活动。多名研究生参加过国家和省级各类英语竞赛,并获大奖。定期举办的学术活动、外籍教师语言文化系列讲座、研究生网络英语自主学习等学习方式为研究生语言实践、个性化、自主式学习开辟了崭新的园地,搭建起广阔的平台,形成了研究生英语第二课堂教学的特色,并成为哈工大外语教育的一个传统,为哈工大创建世界一流大学,培养高素质创新人才做出了贡献。

教学特色:硕博研究生是我校科研力量的生力军,其英语学术交流能力直接影响我校在国内外学术界的地位。因此,研究生英语教学是我校人才培养中的重中之重。近年来,我校招收的硕博研究生数量多,生源杂,英语水平参差不齐。在研究生培养方案的实施中,必须将这一涉及面最广、选课人数最多、层次最为繁多、培养要求最高、教学任务最重的硕博两个层次的英语教学管理好、组织好、建设好,使之更好地实现我校人才培养计划和目标。

  在课程体系建设中,需根据学生英语水平、需求、能力发展需要开设课程,以硕博一体化为课程建设方向,以英语交流能力培养为建设目标,以文化素质发展为培养结果,满足学生个性化学习需要。针对基础能力提高为目标的学生开设实用英语课程,使其更好地适应未来工作需求。针对英语能力较强,有科研要求的学生,在硕士英语期间先开设基础性科技英语课程,侧重科技文献阅读的信息获取与转化能力培养,为博士期间科技论文写作能力夯实基础,助力学生参与国际学术交流需要。

 目前,硕士英语课程为《实用英语》(32学时),其建设时间较长,定位经过多次调整,课程涵盖听说读写四项技能,由同一教师讲授。2014年秋季学期,硕士课程在《实用英语》之外,增设《学术英语翻译》、《学术英语阅读》、《雅思应试》。翻译和阅读两门课程的教学内容体现科技英语特色,把握并突出“专业用途英语”的教学。博士英语课程体系较为完善,《学术交流口语》和《科技论文写作》较早突出“专业用途英语”的科技特色,在国内大学的研究生英语教学中一直占据领先地位。
