Abstract

English for Urban Rail Transit is an important course for undergraduate students from the Order Class of the major Urban Rail Transit in Southwest Jiaotong University Hope College. This course cultivates students’ skills in dealing with subway work by using English so students can meet the job requirements of attendant and prepare for their future job in Chengdu Subway Station as an attendant after graduation. Guided by the theory in ESP, this paper explores the course design of English for Urban Rail Transit from the analysis on course requirements, syllabus design, teaching design, textbook design and teaching evaluation. The whole teaching process is requirement-oriented and students-focused so as to cultivate students’ skills and improve the teaching quality of this course.
