三、课程性质与教学目的
根据全国英语专业教学大纲规定,在基础阶段的英语教学完成以后,必须继续进行更高一级的英语阅读教学。
高级英语是英语专业本科教学中的一门主干必修课,是低年级基础英语课程的延伸和发展。
该课程的教学重点在于提高学生阅读理解和词汇运用能力,即能掌握和使用所学词汇,特别是同义词、近义词的区分和使用,正确理解文章的内容和主题思想,抓住文章的要点,分析文章的结构、语言技巧和修辞特点;
提高学生语言表达能力,逻辑思维和判断评述能力,能用英语解释文章中的难句、要点;
能用英语归纳文章的主题思想,并能对文章的内容进行简单的分析、鉴赏、评论。
学生应该能用辞典和其他工具书独立解决语言和文化、背景知识方面的难点,增加文化知识,尤其是英语语言国家的背景知识和文化知识,更好地使语言和文化结合起来。
通过一学年(约144学时)的高级英语课程教学,学生应达到高等学校外语专业教学指导委员会修订的《高等学校英语专业英语教学大纲》所规定的要求:
认知词汇达10,000以上,能正确而熟练地使用其中5,000多个及其最常用的搭配;
能熟练掌握句子之间和段落之间的各种衔接手段,连贯地表达思想;
能读懂一般英美报刊杂志上的文章、英语国家出版的有一定难度的历史传记和文学作品;
能分析文章的思想观点、语篇结构、语言特点和修辞手法等。
通过阅读和分析内容广泛的材料,包括涉及政治﹑经济﹑社会﹑语言﹑文学﹑教育﹑哲学等方面的名家作品,扩大学生的知识面,加深对社会和人生的理解,培养对文章的分析和理解能力﹑逻辑思维能力以及独立思考能力,巩固和提高语言综合运用能力。
要求学生掌握课文的中心思想,了解篇章结构﹑段落大意,熟悉各种常见的修辞手段以及课文的重点、难点。
每课都配有大量的相关练习,包括阅读理解、词汇研究、文体分析、中英互译和写作练习等,使学生的英语水平在质量上有较大的提高。
英语专业高年级阶段的主要教学任务是让学生继续打好语言基本功,学习英语专业知识和相关专业知识,进一步扩大知识面,增强对文化差异的敏感性,提高综合运用英语进行交际的能力。
与其它高年级英语课程相比,高级英语课程课时最多,涵盖面最广;
因此,该课程是保证实现教学目标的重要环节。
