在編輯這個文庫時,我們在兩方面下了功夫。
一方面,在選書時,我們求全,求新,求有代表性和前瞻性。我們不偏愛一家之言,也不只收一家外國出版社之書。語言學與應用語言學的主干學科固然受到了應有的重視,分支學科可也不忽視。語料語言學、語言統(tǒng)計學是新興學科,我們收入了專著;句法學、語義學久已有人研究,我們也找到了有關的最新著作。
另一方面,我們邀請了國內(nèi)知名的博士生導師、碩士生導師為各書撰文導讀,為讀者鋪平道路。語言學和應用語言學專著包羅宏富,初學者讀起來可能覺得茫無頭緒。為了助他們一臂之力,本文庫中每一種書我們都請專家寫了一萬字左右的導讀材料。哪怕書中內(nèi)容比較陌生,誰只要在讀書前看一下導讀材料,讀書后把材料再看一遍,一定能弄清脈絡,掌握要點。
A Course in Language Teaching
Practice and Theory This comprehensive training course provides a complete introduction to teaching languages,for use in both pre-service or in-service settings. It can be used by groups of teachers working with a trainer, or as a self-study resource.The course consists of modules on key topics such as Practice Activities, Testing, Teaching Reading, Lesson Planning, Teaching Large Heterogeneous Classes - and many others. Each module presents both practical and theoretical aspects of the topic, with tasks. Modules can be used in sequence or selectively.
Suggestions for classroom observation and practice, action research projects and further reading are included. Notes for the trainer, with stimulating insights from the authorspersonal experience, complete the course.
Penny Ur is a teacher and teacher-trainer, and is the author of several successful books for teachers in the Cambridge Handbooks for Language Teachers series: Discussions that Work,F(xiàn)ive-Minute Activities(with Andrew Wright),Grammar Practice Activities, and Teaching Listening Comprehension.
近年來,國際交往日益頻繁,國際貿(mào)易急速發(fā)展,出現(xiàn)了一種前所未有的現(xiàn)象:學外語、教外語、用外語的人多了;研究語言學和應用語言學的人多了;開設這方面專業(yè)的高校也多了,語言學碩士生和博士生也多了。就是不以此為專業(yè),學習語言學和應用語言學的也不乏其人。為了給從事這個專業(yè)的師生提供便利,同時又幫助一般外語教師、涉外工作者以及漢語研究者開闊思路,擴大視野,提高效率,我們獻上這套內(nèi)容嶄新而豐富的叢書——英文版《當代國外語言學與應用語言學文庫》。
文庫首批推出54部外國英文原著,它覆蓋了語言學與應用語言學26個分支學科。這批書是我們與各地有關專家教授反復研究之后精選出來的。出版這樣大規(guī)模的語言學與應用語言學叢書,這在我國語言學界和外語教學界是破天荒第一次。
我們這樣做,抱著什么希望呢?總的說來,是遵循教育部關于加強一級學科教育的指示,在世紀之交,推出一套書來給中國的外語教育領航,同時也給一般外語工作者和漢語研究者提供信息,拓寬思路。
我們希望這個文庫能成為進一步帶動外語教學改革和科研的發(fā)動機;我們希望它能成為運載當代外國語言學理論、語言研究方法和語言教學方法來到中國的特快列車;我們希望,有了這套書,語言學與應用語言學專業(yè)師生就能順利地進行工作;我們希望,通過讀這套書,青年外語教師和外語、漢語研究者能迅速把能力提高,把隊伍不斷擴大。
以上是我們的愿望,可是從廣大讀者看來,這個文庫是否真的有出臺的必要呢?我們想,只要大家看一下今天的客觀情況,就知道這套書有填空補缺的作用,是讓大家更上一層樓的扶梯。
