《**阅读教程》可供一学期教学使用,共分为十六课。考虑到每周教学为三课时,每一课分为READING A 和READING B(个别课文包括READING C)两部分,多数是将与主题有些相关的文章编入一课内。除了政治、文化等背景的介绍和语言点的教学外,教师还可以就某些题目引导学生开展讨论,并就学生的口头回答与书面回答进行必要的辅导。此外,在每一课后面还附录了BACLGROUND KNOWLEDGE和FURTHER READING两部分材料。BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE部分收集的材料包括英美**政治、文化、教育、社会等背景情况介绍,内容不求其全,但求实用。FURTHER READING部分仍是从英美报刊上选辑的,这是因为考虑到读者直接接触英语报刊机会较少,时间也较有限,同时也是为了扩大读者的阅读量,培养阅读的兴趣。教师如认为有必要,也可将FURTHER READING中的部分文章在课堂上使用,或是将部分主题相近的文章结合起来进行讨论分析。
