发展高等职业教育,培养和造就适应生产、管理、服务和技术**线的高技术应用型人才,客观上要求我们必须高度重视高等职业教育的教材改革和建设。根据生源的实际情况和培养目标,编写和出版一大批体现高等职业教育特色的**教材,是我们努力的方向和目标。
英语作为高职高专重要必修课和基础课,教材建设刻不容缓。但是,编者经过大量的问卷调查和实际访问了解到:目前大部分高职高专院校使用的通用英语教材起点偏高,选材多注重自然科学和文学作品,不适应学生入学时的英语水平和就业后的应用需要;在“听、说、读、写”能力的培养中过分偏重某一个方面能力的训练;还有些教材设计的教学任务量过多,大大超过学生在校学习的课时,练习部分没有照顾高职高专学生的高等学校英语应用能力考试,等等。
为了更好地体现高职高专层次公共英语教学的特点和要求,真正做到以学生为主体,从学生的实际和需要出发,本套教材在编写体例、教材结构、学生需要、课堂教学等多方面力求体现如下特点:
(1)紧密结合教学大纲要求和课堂教学实际。本套教材的全部参编者都是经验丰富的英语教学一线骨干教师,其中80为在职在教的系主任或公共英语教研室主任。多年的一线教学实践积累
