这是一套为全国英语专业本科二二年级学生编写的英语泛读教材。
什么是泛读?应用语言学家的定义是:泛读就是大量阅读,阅读者对所读的材料不必面面俱到。泛读旨在培养学习者良好的阅读习惯,学习者通过不断积累词汇和语言结构知识,提高对阅读的兴趣。
诚然,泛读的基本意义就是多读,以增加对目的语的语感,这一点对初级和中级语言水平的学习者十分重要。对中、**语言水平的学习者而言,通过阅读来积累目的语的语言知识依然十分重要,但是他们要学会在一个更高的层次上来习得目的语,要学会总结、归纳文章作者的思想和观点并与自己的思想和观点融合在一起,也就是说要学会通过阅读来总结和发展自己的观点,只有这样学习者才能更好、更有效地习得目的语。
本套教材本着这一编写宗旨,结合英语专业本科学生较高的目的语水平,在设计了常规的阅读理解、词汇等练习外,还设计了各种形式与主题相关的讨论题让学生者围绕文章拓展讨论,让他们将所阅读的文章与自己的观点融会在一起,从而更好地掌握所学内容,帮助习得目的语。
本套教材是在“主题为基础”、“协作性学习”的原则下编写的。每个阅读单元的主题就像一根绳索,将所有阅读文章有机串联在一起。学
