《研究生英语听说教程(引进版)》在突出听力策略和微技能培训的同时,通过大量的练习培养学生说、写能力的教材。本教程共两册。两册教材在**章都首先通过各种练习介绍了微技能,使学生真正了解它们在提高听的能力方面的意义和作用。**册围绕7项微技能进行训练。第二册除螺旋式地进一步进行7项微技能训练外,还增加了两项难度较高的微技能训练,即Scanning for Background Information与Revising Assumptions。
值得提出的是,这套教材还注意结合*常见和*实用的情景,每章围绕一个主题进行听力训练。这些主题覆盖面广而且很现实,例如既有日常生活的话题(超市、业余爱好、旅游等),也有学生十分关心的主题(就业选择、个人困惑、面试、未来事业等)。由于这套教材是为以英语为外语的学生编写的。因此它不仅介绍国外的情景,使学生对英语**的文化习俗有所了解,而且引导学生结合本国的实际进行比较和讨论。这就不仅使学生有话可说。而且有亲切感。
这套教材的另一个特点就是它有十分丰富的练习,而且是以练习为主体。教材在培养微技能时不是进行理论讲解,而是通过大量练习让学生熟练掌握这些
