前?言
《国家中长期教育改革和发展规划纲要(2010—2020)》提出,“适应国家经济社会对外开放的要求,培养大批具有国际视野、通晓国际规则、能够参与国际事务和国际竞争的国际化人才。”这为转型时期高校的大学英语教学改革提出了新的要求。综合来看,新时代的英语教育培养目标具有国际化、复合型和应用性三大特点,而本教材的设计与编写遵循了为实现新时代英语教育目标而服务的理念。
在基础与能力培养方面,本教材不仅提供语言技能训练,而且通过设计实践项目来培养学生英语综合应用能力、自主学习能力、团队合作能力以及分析、解决问题等能力;在理解与表达方面,本教材为学生提供语言输出表达的各种材料,更加关注训练学生在现实场景中的表达能力;在欣赏与使用方面,本教材更多地为学生提供他们在今后学习、生活和工作中可能遇到并能够使用的题材、体裁和语言;在选材方面,本教材为学生提供的均是未经调整的原版报刊文章和专业文献资料,将学生置于语言的真实环境中,提升他们处理外部世界真实语言的能力;在语言和内容方面,本教材注重把文章作为世界知识、跨文化知识以及专业知识的载体,让学生在输入语言知识的同时提升其真实语言环境的语言运用能力,并满足学生对语言与专业相关性的需求。
本教材由世界各国大学与校园生活、食物与健康、旅行与未来交通、梦想的工作与未来职业、黑客与网络安全、动物与人类、传媒与沟通、环境与能源节约、科技与人工智能、科学发明及其道德观10个单元组成,每个单元包括4个部分。每部分通常由两个主题项目组成。围绕每个项目,学生需要完成课前积累、课上展示与分享,以及课后小组活动等,提高学生参与英语应用学习的可能性。每个单元的具体内容安排如下(见表I-1)。
第一部分(Pre-accumulating):根据单元主题,布置学生课前作业,搜集并积累与主题相关的信息。
第二部分(Sharing and Presenting):展示学生的课前积累成果,并围绕主题相关信息或学生的展示内容开展讨论。
第三部分(Exploring the Project):设计了两个需要学生完成的项目,由信息导入、讨论、展示、获得工具、项目建构和同伴评价6个步骤组成。这部分是每个单元的学习重点。
第四部分(Evaluating and Assessment):总结主题学习与进行自我评价。
