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(xué)期。
本教材共分八個(gè)單元,每單元圍繞一個(gè)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(gè)部分,每部分圍繞一個(gè)聽力材料展開,配有各種具備挑戰(zhàn)性的練習(xí):既有涉及主題的,也有涉及具體細(xì)節(jié)的;既有回答問題的,也有設(shè)計(jì)提問的。在使用時(shí),教師應(yīng)根據(jù)學(xué)生的實(shí)際情況來決定聽的次數(shù),使學(xué)生掌握主旨大意、作者態(tài)度和重點(diǎn)細(xì)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(xué)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(dá)用語,使學(xué)生在口語方面能做到語法正確,語域恰當(dāng),內(nèi)容豐富,表達(dá)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?cè)O(shè)計(jì)了Lead.in,提一些非常泛的問題,目的是培養(yǎng)學(xué)生top.down等策略的使用。課后的練習(xí)都有一定的難度,如讓學(xué)生用學(xué)過的生詞或詞組進(jìn)行句子填空,但不給出生詞表,再如用給出的單詞進(jìn)行句型轉(zhuǎn)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(guān)系,但是交際能力中不可或缺的重要組成部分。
在教學(xué)過程中,應(yīng)靈活使用有關(guān)單元以及每單元的有關(guān)內(nèi)容,不應(yīng)面面俱到、泛泛而論。應(yīng)突出重點(diǎn),抓住要點(diǎn),調(diào)動(dòng)學(xué)生的積極性。在運(yùn)用本教材時(shí)還應(yīng)該結(jié)合各種教學(xué)法,充分利用現(xiàn)代教學(xué)手段。唯如此,才能真正提高學(xué)生的英語綜合運(yùn)用能力。
“新編研究生英語系列教材”是外教社組織國(guó)內(nèi)10余所重點(diǎn)高校的專家、教授,在廣泛的市場(chǎng)調(diào)研和對(duì)當(dāng)前研究生英語教學(xué)實(shí)際情況進(jìn)行詳細(xì)分析的基礎(chǔ)上,傾力打造而成,以滿足新時(shí)期人才培養(yǎng)的需要,和多樣化、個(gè)性化的學(xué)習(xí)需求。 遵循分類指導(dǎo)和因材施教的原則:《基礎(chǔ)綜合英語》和《學(xué)術(shù)綜合英語》分別針對(duì)起點(diǎn)不同的學(xué)習(xí)者設(shè)計(jì),以幫助學(xué)生打好扎實(shí)的語言基本功,并順利過渡到學(xué)術(shù)英語的學(xué)習(xí)中;多樣化的“選修課”可讓學(xué)生根據(jù)自己的專業(yè)特點(diǎn)、興趣愛好和時(shí)間安排,自由選擇相關(guān)課程,全面培養(yǎng)研究生的英語實(shí)際應(yīng)用能力; 促進(jìn)語言能力和文化素質(zhì)的同步提升:強(qiáng)調(diào)以學(xué)習(xí)者為主體,注重對(duì)學(xué)生自主學(xué)習(xí)能力的培養(yǎng),教材體系在幫助學(xué)習(xí)者提高語言能力的同時(shí),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(xué)光盤和電子教案,可以為學(xué)習(xí)者提供自主學(xué)習(xí)的幫助,為教師提供立體化教學(xué)的支撐,更能適應(yīng)現(xiàn)今研究生英語教學(xué)的需要。
