前言
《美國歷史文化》是在內(nèi)容依托教學理念指導下,依托國家哲學社會科學項目“英語專業(yè)基礎(chǔ)階段內(nèi)容依托式教學改革研究”推出的系列英語內(nèi)容依托教材之一,是大連外國語學院和遼寧省兩級教學成果一等獎并獲得國家級教學成果二等獎。這套系列教材的推出具有重要的理論意義和重大的現(xiàn)實意義。隨著我國英語教育的快速發(fā)展,英語專業(yè)長期貫徹的“以技能為導向”的課程建設理念及教學理念已經(jīng)難以滿足社會的需要。專家教師們密切關(guān)注的現(xiàn)行英語專業(yè)教育大、中、小學英語教學脫節(jié),語言、內(nèi)容教學割裂,單純語言技能訓練過多,專業(yè)內(nèi)容課程不足,學科內(nèi)容課程系統(tǒng)性差,高低年級內(nèi)容課程安排失衡及其導致的學生知識面偏窄、知識結(jié)構(gòu)欠缺、思辨能力偏弱、綜合素質(zhì)發(fā)展不充分等問題日益凸顯。針對上述問題,國家哲學社會科學項目“英語專業(yè)基礎(chǔ)階段內(nèi)容依托式教學改革研究”以內(nèi)容依托教學(CBI)理論為指導,確定了如下改革思路:(一)更新語言教學理念,改革英語專業(yè)教學的課程結(jié)構(gòu)。在不改變專業(yè)總體培養(yǎng)目標和教學時限的前提下,對課程結(jié)構(gòu)進行革命性的變革,改變傳統(tǒng)單一的語言技能課程模式,實現(xiàn)內(nèi)容課程——語言課程的融合,擴展學生的知識面,提高學生的語言技能。(二)開發(fā)課程自身潛力,同步提高專業(yè)知識和語言技能。內(nèi)容依托課程本身也同時關(guān)注內(nèi)容和語言,把內(nèi)容教學和語言教學有機結(jié)合。以英語為媒介,系統(tǒng)教授專業(yè)內(nèi)容;以專業(yè)內(nèi)容為依托,在使用語言過程中提高語言技能,擴展學生的知識面。(三)改革教學方法手段,全面提高語言技能和綜合素質(zhì)。依靠內(nèi)容依托教學在方法上的靈活性,通過問題驅(qū)動、輸出驅(qū)動等方法調(diào)動學生主動學習,把啟發(fā)式、任務式、討論式、結(jié)對子、小組活動、課堂展示、多媒體手段等行之有效的活動與學科內(nèi)容教學有機結(jié)合,提高學生的語言技能,激發(fā)學生的興趣,培養(yǎng)學生的自主性和創(chuàng)造性,提升思辨能力和綜合素質(zhì)。本項改革突破了我國英語專業(yè)英語教學大綱規(guī)定的課程結(jié)構(gòu),改變了英語專業(yè)基礎(chǔ)階段通過開設單純的聽、說、讀、寫四種語言技能課提高學生語言技能的傳統(tǒng)課程建設理念,對英語課程及教學方法進行了創(chuàng)新性的改革。首創(chuàng)了有英語專業(yè)基礎(chǔ)階段具有我國特色的內(nèi)容——語言融合的課程體系;率先開發(fā)了適合英語專業(yè)基礎(chǔ)階段的內(nèi)容依托課程;系統(tǒng)開發(fā)了英語國家史、地、社會文化、歐洲文化、中國文化、跨文化交際、《圣經(jīng)》文化教材;以英語為媒介,系統(tǒng)教授專業(yè)內(nèi)容;以內(nèi)容為依托,全面發(fā)展學生的語言技能;擴展學生的知識面,提高學生的綜合素質(zhì),以嶄新的途徑實現(xiàn)英語專業(yè)教育的總體培養(yǎng)目標。經(jīng)過七年的醞釀、準備、實驗,內(nèi)容依托教學改革取得了鼓舞人心結(jié)果。

章節(jié)摘錄
插圖:Marco Polo was a merchant who had traveled east to China. After seeing the greatwealth of China, Marco Polo returned to Europe and wrote about the wonders he hadseen. Some Europeans did not believe Polo's amazing stories. Others, however, wereeager to visit Asia and get some wealth for themselves.Christopher Columbus read and believed Marco Polo's story and devised a plan to sailto Asia. He wanted to visit the lands of China. Columbus thought that if he sailed westfrom Europe he would eventually come to Asia. Columbus landed on the island of SanSalvador on October 12, 1492. Because Columbus thought he had reached India, a part ofAsia, he referred to the people on the island as Indians. Even though Columbus wasthousands of miles away from India, the name he gave to the Native Americans remains tothis day, and the islands he reached are now called the West Indies.Columbus visited several islands in the West Indies as he continued his search forgold. On this first journey, Columbus never actually landed on the coast of North orSouth America. Columbus made three more journeys to America. On each one he showedhis superior talents as a navigator.Columbus was a great man because he showed others the way to do something thatwas supposedly impossible——sail across the unknown ocean. Soon after Columbus earlyvoyages, other men sailed west. Columbus led the way for the settlement of the NewWorld, part of which was to become the United States of America.After news of Columbus discovery spread, other sea captains lost their fear ofsaiing across the Atlantic Ocean. They were eager to make their own discoveries. Onesuch explorer, an Italian named Amerigo Vespucci, claimed that he had crossed theAtlantic Ocean four times between 1497 and 1500. He wrote a letter saying, "I havefound a new world. "Although Columbus really found the New World before Vespucci, Vespucci was thefirst person to call it the "New World. " In 1507, a German mapmaker did not know whatname to give the New World. After reading Vespucci's letters, the mapmaker decided toname the New World "America" in honor of the man he thought had discovered it——Amerigo Vespucci.
