6. 教学和复习过程中应注意的若干问题

1)正确处理社会文化背景知识与语言知识和技能的关系

本课程的教学目的是帮助学生了解和扩大有关英语国家的社会与文化的背景知识,如历史、地理、政治、经济、社会生活和文化传统等方面的概况,掌握常用英语新闻用语,了解英语报刊的特点,这一目的是通过语言知识的学习和大量的语言实践来实现的。复习或自学过程中要注意将社会文化背景知识与语言知识和技能的学习紧密结合,而不应强求死记硬背。社会文化背景知识与语言知识掌握得如何,要看学员在语言实践中运用这些知识的能力。

2)妥善处理测试和教学的关系

测试是贯彻执行教学大纲的重要保证。科学的测试结果可以为教学提供良好的反馈,帮助教师了解教学效果,改进教学方法,提高教学质量;还可以帮助学生了解自己的学习情况,改进学习方法,提高学习效果。因此,测试应以教学大纲要求和教学内容为基本依据。教学中,应注重培养实际语言运用能力;测试时,要注重考核语言基础和语言运用能力。

3)突出“成人、业余、实用”的特点

广播电视大学专科教育的特点是“成人、业余、实用”。应该充分发挥成人理解力、逻辑思维能力强,有一定的本族语基础和文化背景知识的优势,同时注意克服成人学习外语的不利因素,如模仿力较差,母语的干扰,怕开口等。成人学生大多是从业人员,工学矛盾突出,自学时间难以保证,但是他们的学习动机明确,积极性强。因此,在教学和复习辅导中必须充分考虑到这些特点,如在选择教学内容时应本着“必须够用、实用”的原则,在教学中应讲究方法,注意复习巩固,充分调动成人学习的有利因素。

浅谈英语报刊选读课

浅谈英语报刊选读课 摘要:英语报刊选读课的作用是为学生打好阅读英语报刊的语言基础,使他们掌握英文报刊的文体知识、阅读英语报刊的必要常识以及与时事新闻知识等。我们强调语言能力的培养,并不等于否定语言知识的重要性。语言知识和语言应用能力缺一不可,而对于英语报刊选读课来说,新闻英语文体的基础知识、英语报刊阅读的基本技能不可削弱,传授语言知识在报刊选读课堂教学中仍占有相当重要的地位。 一、主动、自主式学习能力的培养 报刊课以新的授课方式激发了学生的学习兴趣,增加了他们的学习主动性。此外,由于每一次课堂信息量大,内容高度浓缩,学生不可能立即全部掌握报纸中出现的知识,而需要在课后去消化、吸收。课时的限制使他们成为了时间的主人,进而成为学习的主人,学习态度由消极被动趋于积极主动,在课前能进行预习和作一些必要的准备,并能自觉地进行课外英语报刊阅读实践,从而形成了课内吸收、课外消化的良性循环。 我们知道,影响外语学习的因素很多,诸如个性(personal traits)、学习动机(motivation)、学习策略(1earning strategies)和兴趣(interest)等各种因素。由于每个人的遗传特征、努力

程度等互不相同,处于同一发展阶段的不同主体既有共性的相似,也有个性的差异,而教师在课堂上往往很难针对个性差异真正做到区别要求、因材施教。报刊课的实践为学生的个性发展创造了宽松的空间,使学生能够在课外选择难易适合自己的程度、内容适合自己的兴趣的报刊阅读材料进行自主学习,学习的进度也可以根据各自的需求自我调节。兴趣和需要是学好英语不可缺少的因素,符合自己兴趣和需要的自主性学习活动的增多对开发每个学生的潜能、激发学生对学习的兴趣颇有裨益。因此,课外学习实现了学习过程个别化,增加了语言运用的实践机会,也是教师实现因材施教、分类指导的重要途径。 二、对报刊课教学实践的反思 为使英语报刊选读课程的实践落到实处,使课堂教学有新的突破,我在教学实践中积极探索,力求创新。即使有再多的课也不可能教授给学生本课程所有的知识,而许多知识既可以在课堂教学中获得,也可以通过课外自主学习掌握。但是由于种种原因,本课程教学改革的有些方面尚不成熟,至少有以下两个方面有待改进与完善:对多媒体课件的利用与对教学反馈信息的捕捉 三、改进授课形式,变讲课为读报活动课 考虑到报刊选读课的特殊性,我尝试了以课内外读报的形式让学生获得报刊新闻文体知识。改变授课方式,并非仅

Stealth Bomber 6. Lobbyist 7. The House of Lord 8. the House of Commons 9. Senate 10. Secretary of State II. Read the following passage and then choose the right answer to each question 30% GOING BACK AND GETTING IT RIGHT By almost every measure, Paul Pfingst is an unsentimental prosecutor. Last week the San Diego County district attorney said he fully intends to try suspect Charles Andrew Williams, 15, as an adult for the Santana High School shootings. Even before the tragedy, Pfingst had stood behind the troversial California law that mandates treating murder suspects as young as 14 as adults. So nobody would have wagered that Pfingst would also be the first D.A. in the U.S. to launch his very own Innocence Project. Yet last June, Pfingst told his attorneys to go back over old murder and rape victions and see if any unravel with newly developed DNA-testing tools. In other words, he wanted to revisit past victories--this time playing for the other team. "I think people misunderstand being servative for being biased," says Pfingst. "I sider myself a pragmatic guy, and I have no interest in putting innocent people in jail." Around the U.S., flabbergasted defense attorneys and their jailed clients cheered his move. Among prosecutors, however, there was an awkward pause. After all, each DNA test costs as much as $5,000. Then there's the unspoken risk: if dozens of innocents turn up, the D.A. will have indicted his shop. But nine months later, no budgets have been busted or prosecutors ousted. Only the rare case merits review. Pfingst's team siders victions before 1993, when the city started routine DNA testing. They discard cases if the defendant has been released. Of the 560 remaining files, they have re-examined 200, looking for cases with biological evidence and defendants who still claim innocence. They have identified three so far. The most compelling involves a man serving 12 years for molesting a girl who was playing in his apartment. But others were there at the time. Police found a small drop of saliva on the victim's shirt--too small a sample to test in 1991. Today that spot could free a man. Test results are due any day. Inspired by San Diego, 10 other counties in the U.S. are starting DNA audits.
