前言

　　《英国历史文化》是在内容依托教学理念指导下，依托国家哲学社会科学项目“英语专业基础阶段内容依托式教学改革研究”推出的系列英语内容依托教材之一，是大连外国语学院优秀教学成果一等奖、辽宁省优秀教学成果一等奖、第六届国家级优秀教学成果奖获奖成果的重要组成部分。这套系列教材的推出具有重要的理论意义和现实意义。　　随着我国英语教育的快速发展，英语专业长期贯彻的“以技能为导向”的课程建设理念及教学理念已经难以满足社会的需要。专家教师们密切关注的现行英语专业教育大、中、小学英语教学脱节，语言、内容教学割裂，单纯语言技能训练过多，专业内容课程不足，学科内容课程系统性差，高低年级内容课程安排失衡及其导致的学生知识面偏窄、知识结构欠缺、思辨能力偏弱、综合素质发展不充分等问题日益凸显。　　针对上述问题，国家哲学社会科学项目“英语专业基础阶段内容依托式教学改革研究”以内容依托教学（CBI）理论为指导，确定了如下改革思路：　　（一）更新语言教学理念，改革英语专业教学的课程结构。在不改变专业总体培养目标和教学时限的前提下，对课程结构进行革命性的变革，改变传统单一的语言技能课程模式，实现内容课程——语言课程的融合，扩展学生的知识面，提高学生的语言技能。　　（二）开发课程自身潜力，同步提高专业知识和语言技能。内容依托课程本身也同时关注内容和语言，把内容教学和语言教学有机结合。以英语为媒介，系统教授专业内容；以专业内容为依托，在使用语言过程中提高语言技能，扩展学生的知识面。　　（三）改革教学方法手段，全面提高语言技能和综合素质。依靠内容依托教学在方法上的灵活性，通过问题驱动、输出驱动等方法调动学生主动学习，把启发式、任务式、讨论式、结对子、小组活动、课堂展示、多媒体手段等行之有效的活动与学科内容教学有机结合，提高学生的语言技能，激发学生的兴趣，培养学生的自主性和创造性，提升思辨能力和综合素质。　　本项改革突破了我国英语专业英语教学大纲规定的课程结构，改变了英语专业基础阶段通过开设单纯的听、说、读、写四种语言技能课提高学生语言技能的传统课程建设理念，对英语课程及教学方法进行了创新性的改革。首创了有英语专业基础阶段具有我国特色的内容——语言融合的课程体系；率先开发了适合英语专业基础阶段的内容依托课程；系统开发了英语国家史、地、社会文化、欧洲文化、中国文化、跨文化交际、《圣经》与文化等教材；以英语为媒介，系统教授专业内容；以内容为依托，全面发展学生的语言技能；扩展学生的知识面，提高学生的综合素质，以崭新的途径实现英语专业教育的总体培养目标。

章节摘录

　　From the middle of the 5th century, three Germanic （Teutonic） tribes, namely Jutes, Angles and Saxons, began to migrate from the region of Denmark and settled in Britain. The Christian Celts, in spite of their brave leaders like King Arthur, were wholly defeated. Those who escaped the sword were pushed back into the mountains of Wales and Scotland and across to Ireland.　　The Angles and Saxons from northern Germany spoke a language which we now call Old English. The Angles gave rise to the word "England" because "England" in Old English meant "the land of the Angles". The Angles and Saxons took possession of all the land as far as the mountains in the north and west, and divided it into a handful of small kingdoms. Essex and Sussex, the kingdoms of the east and south Saxons, are still the names of English counties. Then they settled down to work their farms. But their separate kingdoms could make no organized resistance to the next wave of northern fighters, the Vikings. Some of these came from Norway and attacked the rocky coasts of Scotland and northern England： but the main body came from Denmark, sailed up the rivers of the east and south, and seized one little Saxon kingdom after another. At the last moment, the Saxons were saved by the courage of King Alfred of Wessex, who defeated the Danes and forced their army to accept the Christian faith. Then he allowed them to settle in eastern and central England.　　Both the Saxons and the Danes had been accustomed to northern gods like Woden and Thor, whose names have given us Wednesday and Thursday. They believed that courage, loyalty and rough honesty are the greatest virtues. How did the Saxons become Christian？ The question is answered by Bede, whose History of the English Church was written in Latin while these events were still within living memory. Bede was a Saxon but he used Latin because it was the international language of the Church. Pope Gregory, he said, was attracted by some fair-haired young slaves on sale in Rome. The Pope, who was head of the Roman Church, heard that these slaves came from England, and he decided to send a party of his priests to help the English people.

•   该书内容还是满丰富的，但练习设计太多，跟我预想的不一样。当然，这是教材么，应该是有些练习的。印刷是彩印的，但不喜欢其黄色调。包括图片、练习的diections，推荐的网站等都处理成了黄色，倒是显得古旧，估计编辑是想突出这本教材的历史厚重感，不过，实在是瞅着眼晕不舒服
•   内容挺丰富的 还有练习题
