本教材適合各專業(yè)碩士研究生和博士研究生使用,為期一學期。
本教材共分八個單元,每單元圍繞一個主題展開,分Lesson A和Lesson B,Lesson A處理聽說,Lesson B處理讀寫。
Lesson A分為三個部分,每部分圍繞一個聽力材料展開,配有各種具備挑戰(zhàn)性的練習:既有涉及主題的,也有涉及具體細節(jié)的;既有回答問題的,也有設計提問的。在使用時,教師應根據(jù)學生的實際情況來決定聽的次數(shù),使學生掌握主旨大意、作者態(tài)度和重點細節(jié)。
第一部分還配有口語技能(Speaking Skills),比如presentation skills,interview skills,等等。其目的是為了提高學生口語交際能力。另外還有Speaking Tips,是一些功能方面的常用口語表達用語,使學生在口語方面能做到語法正確,語域恰當,內容豐富,表達流暢。
Lesson B分為Text A和Text B兩部分,兩篇課文同樣重要。每篇課文之前,我們設計了Lead.in,提一些非常泛的問題,目的是培養(yǎng)學生top.down等策略的使用。課后的練習都有一定的難度,如讓學生用學過的生詞或詞組進行句子填空,但不給出生詞表,再如用給出的單詞進行句型轉換,等等。在TextA中還配有翻譯技巧和寫作技巧,它們自成一體,與課文本身并沒有直接的關系,但是交際能力中不可或缺的重要組成部分。
在教學過程中,應靈活使用有關單元以及每單元的有關內容,不應面面俱到、泛泛而論。應突出重點,抓住要點,調動學生的積極性。在運用本教材時還應該結合各種教學法,充分利用現(xiàn)代教學手段。唯如此,才能真正提高學生的英語綜合運用能力。
“新編研究生英語系列教材”是外教社組織國內10余所重點高校的專家、教授,在廣泛的市場調研和對當前研究生英語教學實際情況進行詳細分析的基礎上,傾力打造而成,以滿足新時期人才培養(yǎng)的需要,和多樣化、個性化的學習需求。 遵循分類指導和因材施教的原則:《基礎綜合英語》和《學術綜合英語》分別針對起點不同的學習者設計,以幫助學生打好扎實的語言基本功,并順利過渡到學術英語的學習中;多樣化的“選修課”可讓學生根據(jù)自己的專業(yè)特點、興趣愛好和時間安排,自由選擇相關課程,全面培養(yǎng)研究生的英語實際應用能力; 促進語言能力和文化素質的同步提升:強調以學習者為主體,注重對學生自主學習能力的培養(yǎng),教材體系在幫助學習者提高語言能力的同時,亦可全面提高其人文素養(yǎng)和跨文化交際能力; 立體化的教材編寫模式:綜合教程配套助學光盤和電子教案,可以為學習者提供自主學習的幫助,為教師提供立體化教學的支撐,更能適應現(xiàn)今研究生英語教學的需要。
