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(nèi)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(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(nèi)容,不應面面俱到、泛泛而論。應突出重點,抓住要點,調(diào)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(nèi)10余所重點高校的專家、教授,在廣泛的市場調(diào)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(zhì)的同步提升:強調(diào)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。
