一、引言
教材是开展教学和实现教学目标的重要依
据。对于我国的外语教学来说,体系完整、结构合
理的教材不仅有利于学生系统地学习英语语言基
本知识,而且有利于学生发展各项技能和了解外
国文化,从而也为教师教学的组织和实施带来极
大的便利。选择合适的教材并有效地发挥其作用
需要教材评估。此外,教材评估有益于教师更深
入地认识语言及语言教学的本质,加深对教材作
用和要求的认识,以便在以后的教学中更有针对
性地使用、改编、替换或补充教材中某些内容,提
高教学效果。
二、教材评估
不同学者对于教材评估的标准都提出了自己
的观点。Jeremy Harmer(2003)将教材评估分成
两种:教材估价(course book assessment)和教材评
价(course book evaluation)。
教材估价指的是在教材使用之前对其将在课
堂中可能出现或者达到的使用效果进行评估。教
材估价的第一步是选择教材估价的维度。经常测
评的维度有:教材价格、可获得性、教材排版与设
计、教材涉及到的教学法、教材中的话题、文化的
可接受性等。此外,不同的评估目的可以选择不
同的评估维度,也可以对上述的维度进行加减。
教材估价的第二步是陈述对特定维度的要求。对
特定维度要求的制定可以通过集体讨论群策群力
制定出来。教材估价的第三步是对应要求进行评
估,即针对制定的要求对教材进行估价。
教材评价则是在教材使用之后对其实际效果
的断定与测评。教材评价常用的方式有三个。第
921
一个是教师个人的记录。教师可以以日志的方式记录每个单元或课文的情况。第二个是教师之间的讨论。如果有多名教师同时使用同一本教材,教师之间可以集体讨论、相互借鉴从而达成最终结论。第三个是学生们的回复。学生可以以口头或者书面的方式对教材的使用进行评价。Harmer 认为学生书面形式的回复效果要好于口头方式,因为在口头表述过程中学生可能会受到其他同学的影响。

《新视野大学英语》教材评估
目前我校一半以上的本科生使用的是由外语教学与研究出版社出版的《新视野大学英语》教材。笔者对《新视野大学英语》(第二册)系列教材的使用情况进行了问卷调查,分析了调查结果,希望指导今后的教学,提高教学效果。
11问卷调查组成
笔者于2008年6月对本校450名学习《新视野大学英语》(第二册)系列教材的非英语专业2007级学生进行了问卷调查。问卷调查包括八个问题,涉及到学生对《新视野大学英语》(第二册)系列教材的整体评价及对系列中每本教材的单独评价。此外,还需要学生对每个教材的优缺点进行描述。
21数据统计与分析
本次调查向学生发出问卷共450份,收回412份,有效率为91156%。笔者对数据进行了统计,得出每项的百分比。数据分析如下:
(1)从问卷调查的结果来看,只有1%的学生认为《新视野大学英语》系列教材“差”,817%的学生的评价是“很好”,4915%的学生的评价是“较好”,4018%的学生的评价是“还可以”。总体上看99%的学生认可《新视野大学英语》系列教材,其中有近60%的学生认为此套系列教材好。
(2)从问卷调查的结果来看,9312%的学生认可《视听说教程》。其中1017%的学生认为“很好”,4117%的学生认为“较好”,4018%的学生认为“还可以”。只有618%的学生认为《视听说教程》“差”。2007年教育部高教司颁布的《大学英语课程课程要求》对听力理解能力分为三个层次,即一般要求、较高要求和更高要求。《视听说教程》严格以《课程要求》为编写指导思想和依据,强
调综合能力的培养,特别注重培养听、说的能力。《视听说教程》广泛借鉴了国内外优秀英语教材的编写经验,旨在通过真实的场景、地道的语言和多样的练习提高学生的英语听说能力。《视听说教程》在主题、选材、内容、梯度、形式、多媒体、管理方面都体现着科学性,充分发挥网络和多媒体声像技术,以生动的形式来提高学生的实际交流能力。问卷调查表明6411%的学生认为《视听说教程》最好的方面是网络多媒体化,2413%的学生认为最好的方面是资料资源丰富。这两个数据有力地证明了《视听说教程》是优秀的英语视听说教材。
(3)从问卷调查的结果来看,认为《读写教程》“很好”、
“较好”、
“还可以”和“差”的百分比分别是1415%、4317%、4018%和1%。《读写教程》中每个单元的主体分为A、B、C三大部分。A部分安排了阅读前活动、正文以及多种多样的练习。B 部分主要用于培养阅读技能,同时扩充学生的词汇量。C部分进一步训练学生的阅读,培养学生的阅读能力。调查表明学生认为《读写教程》最好的前三个方面分别体现在网络多媒体化、课文内容和丰富的资源,对应的百分比3619%、2911%和2413%。《新视野大学英语读写教程》采用按主题组织单元。每册10个单元,每单元设定一个主题。Section A、B、C三篇文章均从不同角度反映这一主题。如《读写教程》第二册第一单元的主题为“文化”,其中Section A通过对美国人的时间观念的讲述让学生对某一种具体文化———美国文化有所了解,而Section B关注的文化冲撞———一个任何人进入到新文化都无法避免的现象,而Section C通过作者“我”在外国具体的经历让读者更加直接、感性地认识文化差异。此外,每个单元的主题都比较贴近生活。如第二单元的主题是“环境保护”,第三单元的是“文化与婚姻”。同时,《读写教程》的网络版为大学英语教学提供多渠道、全方位的资源。这些教学资源既能满足课堂教学的需要,又能满足课外自学的需要。此外,《读写教程》词汇量大,词汇在课文中的复现率高。每个单元都提供了丰富的词汇练习来加深对单词和词组的理解。
《新视野大学英语》系列教材为学生提供了丰富的网络资源和教学光盘,不仅为学生拓宽了学
031
生的学习内容,还为学生在课后就能更为便捷地进行自学提供了条件。这充分证明了《新视野大学英语》践行以学生为主体的教学理念,注重培养学生自主性和个性化的学习能力。通过光盘、网络学生能接触到更多与课文有关的语言和背景知识,有配套的光盘和网络课程,学生可以根据自己的特点、时间,随时随地地学习。通过测试系统,学生在课后能有计划地对已学内容进行测评,这些有效地调动了学生主观能动性,有利于自学能力的培养。
而且,在编写过程中编者借鉴了Widdows on、Quirk、Harmer等诸多语言专家的观点和第二语言习得理论。C obuild系列词典的主编John Sinclair 指出:“在没有特定指导方针的前提下,我们建议学习者把学习的重点放在:(a)语言中的最常见词形;(b)词汇的核心用法;(c)它们构成的典型组合搭配。”在《新视野大学英语》1至4级教材中覆盖了全部的核心四级词汇,而且有充足的练习让学生操练。
通过分析这些数据可以看到《新视野大学英语》系列教材体现了新世纪先进的英语教学理念和全新的教学模式。
当然,《新视野大学英语》有一些亟待改进的地方。问卷调查中学生反映出《读写教程》存在的问题有:(1)课文难度、长度混乱3818%。(2)课文内容不好1914%。(3)练习过多1814%。(4)其他问题包括:题材比较单一、词汇讲解不够、缺少文章的中文译文等2314%。《读写教程》每册十个单元的文章难度不同,有时相异很大。如第二册第二单元和第四单元在难度、长度方面都要易于其他单元的文章,学生学习起来要轻松一些。循序渐进应该是教材编写的一个重要原则。另外,有些课文内容抽象,不易被学生理解,如第九单元。此单元的主题是学生关注的“人才外流”,但是充斥文章的是许许多多晦涩的短语和句子。练习过多也是《读写教程》的一个问题。这就要求教师在教学中做出筛选,尤其《综合训练》中的练习。对于学生反映的词汇讲解不够、缺少文章的中文译文等这些问题,教师要加强引导学生,因为网络版完全解决了这些问题。当然题材比较单一是个主要问题。《新视野大学英语》大部分的课文是议论性的或者叙议结合的,问卷调查表明学生希望增加和学生密切有关的、美文欣赏、幽默有趣的故事。毕竟选材是否为学习者所喜爱、是否能激发学习者的学习兴趣,对教材的成败起着极其关键的作用。课文在选材上注重趣味性、信息性和实用性也是教材编写的一个原则。
四、结语
系列教材为学生的“自主学习”搭建了网络平台。这对教学设备、教师和学生提出了更高的要求。首先,充分的硬件设施需要得到保证。其次,教师和学生要具备一定的网络知识和电脑操作技能。通过对《新视野大学英语》系列教材在实际使用中出现的一些问题分析,对于指导今后教学工作有一定的指导意义。比如,在《视听说教程》教学中,对于某些任务的要求可以降低或者忽略。在《读写教程》教学中,可以通过删减或者补充来调整课文内容的学习。此外,修订之后的《新视野大学英语》一定会扬长避短,更加有利于学生的学和教师的教。
《新视野大学英语》意在创建一个以学习者为中心、以主题为中心的教学模式,为大学生语言使用能力的发展打下扎实基础。这套教材提供了大量的语言输入,让学生在综合技能上得到了训练,各种任务形式具有学习价值。分析和评估《新视野大学英语》,以便更好地使用和改进。

Unit1 Americans believe no one stands still. If you are not moving ahead, you are falling behind. This attitude results in a nation of people committed to researching, experimenting and exploring. Time is one of the two elements that Americans save carefully, the other being labor. "We are slaves to nothing but the clock,” it has been said. Time is treated as if it were something almost real. We budget it, save it, waste it, steal it, kill it, cut it, account for it; we also charge for it. It is a precious resource. Many people have a rather acute sense of the shortness of each lifetime. Once the sands have run out of a person’s hourglass, they cannot be replaced. We want every minute to count. A foreigner’s first impression of the U.S. is li kely to be that everyone is in a rush -- often under pressure. City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going, restlessly seeking attention in a store, or elbowing others as they try to complete their shopping. Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace
新视野三版读写B2U4Text A College sweethearts 1I smile at my two lovely daughters and they seem so much more mature than we,their parents,when we were college sweethearts.Linda,who's21,had a boyfriend in her freshman year she thought she would marry,but they're not together anymore.Melissa,who's19,hasn't had a steady boyfriend yet.My daughters wonder when they will meet"The One",their great love.They think their father and I had a classic fairy-tale romance heading for marriage from the outset.Perhaps,they're right but it didn't seem so at the time.In a way, love just happens when you least expect it.Who would have thought that Butch and I would end up getting married to each other?He became my boyfriend because of my shallow agenda:I wanted a cute boyfriend! 2We met through my college roommate at the university cafeteria.That fateful night,I was merely curious,but for him I think it was love at first sight."You have beautiful eyes",he said as he gazed at my face.He kept staring at me all night long.I really wasn't that interested for two reasons.First,he looked like he was a really wild boy,maybe even dangerous.Second,although he was very cute,he seemed a little weird. 3Riding on his bicycle,he'd ride past my dorm as if"by accident"and pretend to be surprised to see me.I liked the attention but was cautious about his wild,dynamic personality.He had a charming way with words which would charm any girl.Fear came over me when I started to fall in love.His exciting"bad boy image"was just too tempting to resist.What was it that attracted me?I always had an excellent reputation.My concentration was solely on my studies to get superior grades.But for what?College is supposed to be a time of great learning and also some fun.I had nearly achieved a great education,and graduation was just one semester away.But I hadn't had any fun;my life was stale with no component of fun!I needed a boyfriend.Not just any boyfriend.He had to be cute.My goal that semester became: Be ambitious and grab the cutest boyfriend I can find. 4I worried what he'd think of me.True,we lived in a time when a dramatic shift in sexual attitudes was taking place,but I was a traditional girl who wasn't ready for the new ways that seemed common on campus.Butch looked superb!I was not immune to his personality,but I was scared.The night when he announced to the world that I was his girlfriend,I went along
