《英语听力教程》是与《英语听力教程1》(Listen This Way 2)(第二版)相配套的教师参考书。主要内容包括每单元授课要点,学生用书中全部练习答案以及所有录音的文字材料。书后所附光盘是《英语听力教程》全部练习的录音。

听是语言交际的重要方面。在对外交往中,听力水平的高低直接影响着人们相互理解的程度和工作效率。随着国际交流的日渐频繁和电讯技术的迅猛发展,提高英语听的能力显得尤为重要。本教材正是为了适应时代的发展和英语教学的需要而编写的。在编写中,我们努力借鉴国内外近年英语听力教学的研究成果,在总结几十年教学经验的基础上,遵循本课程的教学理论和原则,针对中国学生英语听力学习的特点,进行了新的尝试。本教材可供高等学校英语专业一至三年级的学生使用,同时适合师专、教育学院、广播电视大学、成人高校英语专业的学生及社会上广大英语自学者使用。
本教材在编写中努力体现以下两点:
1.以培养听力技能为主线。通过系统的听力专门技能的单项训练及综合训练,培养学生的快速反应、准确辩别、分析推理、归纳总结、信息处理及记录和记忆等能力;
2.力求听力材料的语言真实性、典型性和实际应用性。由于听力理解与学习者的知识水平,特别是与他们的语言和社会文化知识的水平密切相关,因此本教材注重在不同阶段选择既与技能训练匹配又与学生求知兴趣相称的素材。
全套教材共分6册。每册配有教师用书和6盒录音带。前4册以单项技能训练为主,配有一定量的综合训练,题材接近生活和工作实际,由近及远,涉及的面较宽;后两册以综合技能训练为主,同时针对中国学生在英语听力学习中的难点、**进行反复训练,题材以反映社会、科技领域的新发展为主。教师用书的内容包括教学提示、练习答案和全部录音带内容的文字材料。
“标”、“本”兼治,以“标”求“本”是本教材的努力方向和目标。这里的“标”指的是教材及录音带中的全部教学内容与练习;这里的“本”指的是完成全部教学内容与练习之后留存于学生的内在聪慧与能力。
本书为第二册,共包括18个单元,内容为人们日常生活及语言交际中*常用的话题,听能训练侧重于关键词的选择、要点记录和大意归纳等,同时复习和强化**册中的部分单项技能。每单元由六个部门组成:
**部分为准备性练习,主要包括预习生词、听小对话和短文,帮助学生进入积极思维和听的状态;
第二和第三部分为每个单元的**部分,贯穿某项技能和微技能的训练。为了降低学习难度,这两个部分的听力内容有时采用两种语速来表述,目的是试图在半真实与较真实的语言材料之间架设学习和过渡的桥梁。同时,也为教师因材施教提供一些条件;
第四部分主要为听写填空,听力材料多为相关领域的热门话题或科技新发展介绍,内容新、生词量大,学习者可以将听与阅读结合起来,以增加语言输入量,扩大知识面;
第五部分为语言真实性较高的听力材料,通过具有挑战性的练习,激发学生的学习兴趣,提高训练强度,锻炼和发展学生的记忆能力;
第六部分对本单元的生词和词组进行归纳,以帮助学生复习巩固,克服听力教学中由于强调瞬时记忆而忽视词汇积累和语言应用的倾向。教师可围绕本部分内容适当进行一些读、讲、听、说的综合练习。
本教材主要供课内精听使用,每单元约需3学时左右。但是提高听力仅靠精听是远远不够的。希望教师针对各个学生的实际情况,有计划地指导并组织好课外泛听及其他相关的学习活动。只有精与泛、质与量的科学结合才可望实现英语听力水平的飞跃。
