《大学英语IIIA》

一、课程基本信息

二、课程性质与定位

 大学英语课程是高等学校人文教育的一部分，兼有工具性和人文性双重性质。就工具性而言，大学英语课程是在高中英语学习的基础上，进一步充实学生的词汇量，扩大阅读面，提高翻译的准确性，以及拓展写作的深度和宽度。同时，大学英语课程也为大学生的专业英语课程夯实基础，为学生日后在学术或职业领域进行交流做好铺垫。就人文性而言，大学英语课程的重要任务之一是进行跨文化教育。语言是文化的载体，同时也是文化的组成部分，学生学习和掌握英语这一交流工具，除了交流、学习先进的科技信息，还要了解过外的社会和文化，增进对不同文化的理解，对中外文化异同的意识，培养跨文化交际能力。在教学过程中，大学英语精读课程将会分章节展示国外的历史、建筑、音乐、语言、经济、工作、节日和人际关系等。同时，社会主义核心价值观也会有机地融入大学英语精读课程的教学内容当中，充分挖掘大学英语课程丰富的人文内涵，实现工具性和人文性的有机统一。

 大学外语教育是我国高等教育的重要组成部分，对于促进大学生知识、能力和综合素质的协调发展具有重要意义。而大学英语课是大学外语教学课程体系的核心课程，是我校非英语专业学生在本科教育阶段必修的公共基础课程，在人才培养方面具有不可替代的重要作用。

三、课程设置指导思想与思路

1、课程设置的指导思想

 大学英语课程是针对泰山学院非英语专业学生开设的一门公共基础必修课程，是我校人才培养的一个重要组成部分；合理设置我校大学英语课程，是我校大学英语教学团队更好服务于我校人才培养的重要前提。课程设置要充分体现“以人为本，因材施教”的教育教学理念，结合本校学生的实际水平，构建合理有效的大学英语校本特色课程体系，促使不同层次、不同水平的学生在英语应用能力方面得到充分的训练和提高，以实现教育部在《大学英语教学指南》提及的大学英语的教学目标，即“培养学生的英语应用能力，增强跨文化交际意识和交际能力，同时发展自主学习能力，提高综合文化素养，使他们在学习、生活、社会交往和未来工作中能够有效地使用英语，满足国家、社会、学校和个人发展的需要”。

2、课程设置思路

1) 分类指导、因材施教

 该课程突出“分类指导、因材施教”的特点，实行分级、分课型教学，学生必须按要求修满规定的学分方能获得相应的学位。根据我校学生层次、类别和英语水平，我们为普通本科生、艺体类本科生、春季招生和专科分别设置了3个教学模块：大学英语I、大学英语II、大学英语III，每个模块分别含A、B、C、D等4个不同的课程，分别在大学1—4个学期开设；在课型设置上，我们结合分级分层次教学，又分别为创新班（普通本科生中，高考英语成绩排名前10%的学生）、普通（文本）、普通（理本）和其他类别的学生（含3+2专升本、艺体类本科生、春季招生及专科生）设置了2+X（2节读写+X节网络自主学习）、2+2（2节读写+1节口语+1节听力）和3+1（3节读写+1节视听说）的不同课型；到第四学期，针对通过全国大学英语四级考试的创新班的学生开设ESP专门用途英语：《公共英语演讲艺术》、《高级英语写作》、《高级英语阅读》；同时面向全校学生开设《跨文化交际英语口语教学策略与实践》及《中国文化英语说》等综合素质课程；另外中加合作办学旅游管理班是按甲方提供的教学方案和教材授课。具体见下表：

2) 加强实践教学环节，突出大学英语课程的实践性

 实践教学环节的设计思想是：

 利用第二课堂，搞好大学英语实践教学设计，激发学生学习英语、运用英语的兴趣，使其在学中练，练中学，达到练有理论依据，学有方向目的的学习效果，最终达到提高学生英语语言综合应用能力、特别是自主学习能力、合作意识和跨文化的沟通能力。

 实践教学环节的具体做法是：

 （1）教学中采取互动方式-师生、生生互动

 大学英语教师不仅是传统意义上的大学英语知识的传授者，更是大学英语课堂内的指导者(director)、组织者(organizer)、辅助者(facilitator)、参与者(participator)。这种当代大学英语教师的新角色使得教师连同学生真正成为教育教学中的主体。教师、学生共同参与交互活动，实现课堂教学的实效性。

 （2）采取体验式教学方式，突出课程的实践性

 在大学英语课堂教学过程中，我们采用角色扮演、固定话题或自主话题课堂报告等活动，加大学生参与课堂的时间和深度，利用英语角、课外辅导、自主中心学习等活动实现课堂内外学习的互动和延展，让学生在体验中学习英语。

 （3）加强第二课堂活动的组织与指导，有效地发挥第二课堂作用

 为了营造良好的学习氛围，提高学生学习的兴趣，发挥优秀学生的模范引导作用，以英语调频广播电台为依托，充分开发利用第二课堂，进一步推广我校项目化实践教学模式，定期组织全国大学生英语竞赛、全国“外研社杯”英语阅读大赛和写作大赛、“CCTV”杯英语演讲大赛和校级的英文歌曲大赛、英语小品大赛和“外研社”杯英语演讲大赛；利用句酷批改网和外研讯飞FIF口语训练平台积极开展在线竞赛和测试活动；鼓励学生利用手机端等移动设备、数字化语音室和网络语音室进行自主学习，努力做到教学资源的优化和整合，促使学生实现互联网+环境下线上与线下，课内与课外学习的高度融合，。
