摘要
生成式人工智能的爆发性增长使英语专业面临严峻的危机，传统的以语言形式准确性为核心的培养范式正面临挑战。本研究基于能力本位教育（CBE）理念指出英语专业教育亟需从形式训练向语用转向进阶。本研究构建了包含技能、情感态度、价值观的三维核心素养框架。在技能维度，提出以语用重构替代传统技能训练；在情感态度维度，强调对抗认知怠惰的认知韧性与交际主体责任；在价值观维度，重申算法无法模拟的人文共情与伦理判断。研究进一步提出了全科融入的课程改革路径，旨在通过确立人类在人机协同中的语用决策地位，培养适应智能时代的高阶人才。

Abstract
The explosive growth of generative artificial intelligence has brought unprecedented challenges to English language education, where the traditional training paradigm centered on linguistic accuracy is facing a critical juncture. Grounded in Competency-Based Education (CBE) principles, this study argues for an urgent pragmatic turn in English major curricula from form-focused training to pragmatics-oriented development. The study constructs a three-dimensional core competency framework encompassing skills, attitudes, and values. In the skill dimension, it proposes pragmatic reconstruction to replace conventional language drills; in the attitudinal dimension, it emphasizes cognitive resilience against cognitive complacency and communicative agency; in the value dimension, it reaffirms humanistic empathy and ethical judgment that algorithms cannot replicate. The study further advances a comprehensive curriculum reform pathway across all courses, aiming to establish human primacy in pragmatic decision-making within the human-AI loop and cultivate high-order talents adapted to the intelligent era.
