《視聽說教程(教師手冊2)/新世紀大學英語系列教材(第二版)》每個單元由Lesson A(Listening&Speaking)和Lesson B(Video Course)構(gòu)成。
Lesson A從第一節(jié)到第四節(jié),詳細設計了語言點的引入、交際功能表達法的介紹、題材的介紹等等。
第一節(jié)Vocabulary Link是介紹與本節(jié)題材與交際功能有關(guān)的詞匯和短語,第二節(jié)Listening是結(jié)合情景與交際功能進行聽力練習,第三節(jié)Pronunciation為語音訓練提供基本知識和示范,第四節(jié)Speaking&Communication結(jié)合情景與交際功能進行聽和說的綜合練習,將這些材料有機結(jié)合,在課堂里進行操練和仿說練習,幫助學生有效提高聽和說的能力。教材每單元內(nèi)容比較充裕,如果按計劃進行聽和說的操練,一般學校能夠在課堂時間內(nèi)完成教材內(nèi)容。但有些學校如果因為班級太大,在課堂內(nèi)組織口語練習確有困難,可以根據(jù)實際情況對內(nèi)容進行選擇,把課內(nèi)時間集中在聽力練習上,重點發(fā)展學生的英語聽解能力。對于班級里英語程度比較好的有條件的學生,可鼓勵他們在課外通過網(wǎng)絡課件進一步進行聽、說操練,全面提高英語聽、說能力。
另外,第三版對Lesson B也做了相應的調(diào)整和補充,目的是幫助學生在理解的基礎上切實提高英語口語能力。第一部分Global Viewpoints是采訪不同的人就同一題材發(fā)表觀點,受訪者來自世界各地,英語地道、規(guī)范,語速正常,還可能帶有一點當?shù)乜谝簦@些正是現(xiàn)實生活中可能遇到的情況。為了幫助學生充分理解說話內(nèi)容,教材設計了相應的練習提高聽解能力,同時也增加一些產(chǎn)出練習。第二部分City Living是情景喜劇短片,有人物,有情節(jié),有故事。
但是僅僅看懂故事梗概并不是語言課的目的。英語課的目的是幫助學生掌握其中的語言,尤其是要學習其中的Everyday English,表達交際功能的語言手段,以及掌握談論某個題材所需的詞語,這些英語口語中最常用的預構(gòu)成語塊是會話策略的重要語言手段,學生要結(jié)合短片中的情景、人物表情和肢體語言,充分理解、熟練掌握。為此,教材設計了各種有效的練習,幫助學生掌握地道的英語,加強語感,同時提高學習語言的興趣。
