章节摘录

　　Even at the age of 75， Dianna was very vivacious and full of life. When her husband passed away， her children suggested that she move to a "senior living community ，"because there she could live a longer， healthier， and happier life independently in her own home. Also the home is planned with everything —— gourmet dining， 24-hour security， all main tenance， weekly housekeeping， and a community of friends. A gregarious and life-loving person， Dianna decided to do so.　　Shortly after moving in， Dianna became the self-appointed activities director， coordinating all sorts of things for the people in the community to do. She quickly became very popular and made many friends. When there were gatherings， she was always at the center. But she still felt that her life was incomplete.　　When Dianna turned 80， her newfound friends showed their appreciation by throwing a surprise birthday party for her. When she entered the dining room for dinner that night ，she was greeted by a standing ovation， and one of the coordinators led her to the head table. The night was filled with laughter and entertainment， but throughout the evening ，Dianna could not take her eyes off a gentleman sitting at the other end of the table. Dianna had never met him before， and she was really looking forward to knowing him. When the festivities ended， Dianna quickly rose from her seat and rushed over to the man. "Pardon me，" Dianna said. "Please forgive me if I made you feel uncomfortable by staring at you all night. I just couldnt help myself from looking your way. You see， you look just like my fifth husband. "

前言

　　随着我国英语教育的快速发展，英语专业长期贯彻的“以技能为导向”的课程建设理念及教学理念已经难以满足社会的需要。专家和教师们密切关注的现行英语专业教育大、中、小学英语教学脱节，语言、内容教学割裂，单纯语言技能训练过多，专业内容课程不足，学科内容课程系统性差，高、低年级内容课程安排失衡及其导致的学生知识面偏窄、知识结构欠缺、思辨能力偏弱、综合素质发展不充分等问题日益凸显。　　针对上述问题，我们依托国家哲学社会科学项目“英语专业基础阶段内容依托式教学改革研究”。以内容依托教学理论为指导理论，确定了如下改革思路。　　（一）更新语言教学理念，改革英语专业教学的课程结构。在不改变专业总体培养目标和教学时限的前提下，对课程结构进行革命性的变革：改变传统单一的语言技能课程模式，实现内容课程与语言课程的融合，扩展学生的知识面，提高学生的语言技能。　　（二）开发课程自身潜力。同步提高专业知识和语言技能。内容依托课程本身也同时关注内容和语言，把内容教学和语言教学有机结合。以英语为媒介，系统教授专业内容；以专业内容为依托，在使用语言过程中提高语言技能，扩展学生的知识面。　　（三）改革教学方法手段。全面提高语言技能和综合素质。依靠内容依托教学在方法上的灵活性，通过问题驱动、输出驱动等方法调动学生主动学习，把启发式、任务式、讨论式、结对子、小组活动、课堂发表等行之有效的活动与学科内容教学有机结合，提高学生的语言技能，激发学生的兴趣，培养学生的自主性和创造性，提升思辨能力和综合素质。　　本项改革突破了我国英语专业英语教学大纲规定的课程结构，改变了英语专业基础阶段通过开设单纯的听、说、读、写四种语言技能课提高学生语言技能的传统课程建设理念，对英语课程及教学方法进行了创新性的改革。首创了英语专业基础阶段具有我国特色的内容、语言融合的课程体系；率先开发了适合英语专业基础阶段的内容依托课程；系统开发了英语国家历史、地理、社会文化、欧洲文化、中国文化、跨文化交际、《圣经》与文化、功能英语交际、情景英语交际、英语演讲与辩论等教材，以崭新的途径实现英语专业教育的总体培养目标。　　经过七年的酝酿、准备、实验，教学改革取得了鼓舞人心的结果。　　（一）构建了英语专业基础阶段内容依托课程与语言课程融合的课程体系。新的课程体系改变了传统单一的听、说、读、写语言技能课程模式，实现了内容依托课程和语言技能课程两种模块的融合；课程包含综合英语、听力、语音、写作、功能英语交际、情景英语交际、英语演讲与辩论、英国历史文化、英国自然人文地理、英国社会文化、美国历史文化、美国自然人文地理、美国社会文化、澳新加社会文化、欧洲文化、中国文化、跨文化交际、《圣经》与文化；语言技能课程密切关注英语语言技能的发展，内容依托课程不仅关注系统的学科内容，而且也关注综合语言技能的培养。在课程外和课程内两个层面把内容教学和语言教学有机结合，通过内容教学培养学生综合语言运用能力，扩展学生的知识面，提高学生的综合素质和多元文化意识，从根本上改变英语专业学生知识面偏窄、综合素质偏低的问题。
