前言
在全球化进程快速推进的大环境下,我国对高等教育质量与人才培养模式提出了更高的要求。在这新的历史转型期,大学英语教育怎样在各个层面与时代的发展接轨,提升广大学生适应国际竞争的能力,发挥英语在文化交流和经济发展中的桥梁作用,从而满足当前我国各项建设的迫切需要,是摆在广大英语教育工作者面前亟待解决的问题。 面对这一时代性课题,我们需要对大学英语课程的设置进行多方位的思考。我们发现传统的主体课程由于种种限制,造成一些学科点的缺失,难以使学生在人文精神的塑造和英语知识的应用两方面获得平衡,而这两点的平衡对于培养时代所需要的综合性语言人才具有重要的意义。因此,在这样的背景下,编写一套符合国情和学生实际的选修课教材,以此弥补当前英语教学的不足就显得尤为必要。 为了深入了解广大学生在英语学习中的切实需求,陕西高等学校大学外语教学研究会联合西安交通大学出版社首先在省内众多高校进行了一系列的联合调研。调查范围涉及了西安交通大学、西安电子科技大学、西北工业大学、陕西师范大学、西北大学、西安建筑科技大学、西安理工大学、西安科技大学、西北政法大学、西安邮电学院、西安石油大学、西安工程大学、西安工业大学、西北农林科技大学、延安大学、陕西科技大学、陕西中医学院等1 7所院校。通过对各个高校现有的选修课进行统计,以及在学生中展开的问卷调查进行分析,结果显示学生的兴趣主要集中在三个方面:英语国家的历史与文化、实用的英语写译技能和以歌曲、电影为代表的娱乐休闲英语。
内容概要
本书是一门文化类选修课,教学重点应该从培养学生语言基础知识和能力转变为拓宽知识、了解世界文化的素质教育,兼有工具性和人文性。因此,在课程教学过程中应当充分考虑培养学生的文化素质和跨文化交际能力。 针对本门课程内容,建议课堂教学以互动形式为主。学生就教学内容进行模拟操练,之后,根据已有的知识进行点评,最后教师总结。如果能提前准备相关道具,增加知识性和趣味性,教学效果会更好。

章节摘录
Upon graduation, Roger got a big gift from his grandfather——Grandpawould pay for a round-trip ticket to China. He told Li Zhang the goodnews, and the two decided to meet. Li Zhang decided to give Roger a veryspecial welcome: she and the three women students in her dormitory wouldcook him an authentic Chinese meals as Roger had told her that he lovedChinese food. However, when Roger was presented the dinner, he was almostterrified by some of the food: pork stomach soup, pig liver with ginger andspring onion, chicken with mushrooms in which the chicken had been cutto pieces with bones attached to the meal. Fortunately, there were courses like bean curd, stirred fried beef,steamed fish and vegetables that Roger loved. He tried to stick to them, butLi Zhang kept putting food he did not like on his plate. When she askedhow he liked the liver, Roger said, "Its very unusual.., and interesting."This seemed to make Li Zhang happy and she gave him more liver. Rogertried to stop her, but she would not be stopped. Roger was so frustratedthat he told her that he did not really like it that much. "But you said it was unusual and interesting!" Li Zhang said. "Well, they both mean something less than positive," Roger saidcarefully, trying not to hurt their feelings. Li Zhang and her friends became concerned at this. "So you dont likethe food?" "Im not used to eating liver, thats all. But I do like the chicken, thebeef, the bean curd, and the vegetables. I have had more than enough toeat. I never make this much food at home," Roger was eager to let themknow how much he appreciated their effort. "Trust me, Im enjoying thefood. I know what I like."
