内容提要
杨惠中和王跃武主编的《学术英语视听说(2教师手册第2版)》充分体现了学术英语课程的内容特点。语言教学必须围绕一定的题材来选择语言素材。学术英语的题材选择要有知识性、趣味性、现实性、时代性;内容可以广泛涉及现代科技、历史地理、生物医学、人文管理等方面,但不包含小说、诗歌等文学材料,因为文学语言不能反映学术英语的语言特征和交际功能。本教材每一课都是一个独立的讲演,围绕一个题材进行。都有一定的学术内容,但不含艰深的专业知识,使用的是典型的规范的学术英语。另外,口语交际必然涉及听和说两方面,因此本教材采用任务型教学的方式,将语言和内容充分融合,重点发展听力、培养记笔记的能力,并进行听说读写综合训练。除了围绕交际功能和题材所选择的各种语言素材外,本教材还着重介绍各种会话策略,进行仿说练习,逐步增加自由表达的开放式练习,帮助学生准确地表达自己的观点、意见,获得参加讨论和进行辩论的能力。
