美國(guó)社會(huì)與文化

內(nèi)容概要

《美國(guó)社會(huì)與文化》是在內(nèi)容依托教學(xué)理念指導(dǎo)下，依托國(guó)家哲學(xué)社會(huì)科學(xué)項(xiàng)目“英語(yǔ)專業(yè)基礎(chǔ)階段內(nèi)容依托式教學(xué)改革研究”推出的系列英語(yǔ)內(nèi)容依托教材之一，是大連外國(guó)語(yǔ)學(xué)院和遼寧省兩級(jí)教學(xué)成果一等獎(jiǎng)并獲得國(guó)家級(jí)教學(xué)成果二等獎(jiǎng)。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(shí)意義。    隨著我國(guó)英語(yǔ)教育的快速發(fā)展，英語(yǔ)專業(yè)長(zhǎng)期貫徹的“以技能為導(dǎo)向”的課程建設(shè)理念及教學(xué)理念已經(jīng)難以滿足社會(huì)的需要。專家教師們密切關(guān)注的現(xiàn)行英語(yǔ)專業(yè)教育大、中、小學(xué)英語(yǔ)教學(xué)脫節(jié)，語(yǔ)言、內(nèi)容教學(xué)割裂，單純語(yǔ)言技能訓(xùn)練過(guò)多，專業(yè)內(nèi)容課程不足，學(xué)科內(nèi)容課程系統(tǒng)性差，高低年級(jí)內(nèi)容課程安排失衡及其導(dǎo)致的學(xué)生知識(shí)面偏窄、知識(shí)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(wèn)題日益凸顯。    針對(duì)上述問(wèn)題，國(guó)家哲學(xué)社會(huì)科學(xué)項(xiàng)目“英語(yǔ)專業(yè)基礎(chǔ)階段內(nèi)容依托式教學(xué)改革研究”以內(nèi)容依托教學(xué)（CBI）理論為指導(dǎo)，確定了如下改革思路：    （一）更新語(yǔ)言教學(xué)理念，改革英語(yǔ)專業(yè)教學(xué)的課程結(jié)構(gòu)。在不改變專業(yè)總體培養(yǎng)目標(biāo)和教學(xué)時(shí)限的前提下，對(duì)課程結(jié)構(gòu)進(jìn)行革命性的變革，改變傳統(tǒng)單一的語(yǔ)言技能課程模式，實(shí)現(xiàn)內(nèi)容課程——語(yǔ)言課程的融合，擴(kuò)展學(xué)生的知識(shí)面，提高學(xué)生的語(yǔ)言技能。    （二）開(kāi)發(fā)課程自身潛力，同步提高專業(yè)知識(shí)和語(yǔ)言技能。內(nèi)容依托課程本身也同時(shí)關(guān)注內(nèi)容和語(yǔ)言，把內(nèi)容教學(xué)和語(yǔ)言教學(xué)有機(jī)結(jié)合。以英語(yǔ)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(yǔ)言過(guò)程中提高語(yǔ)言技能，擴(kuò)展學(xué)生的知識(shí)面。    （三）改革教學(xué)方法手段，全面提高語(yǔ)言技能和綜合素質(zhì)。依靠?jī)?nèi)容依托教學(xué)在方法上的靈活性，通過(guò)問(wèn)題驅(qū)動(dòng)、輸出驅(qū)動(dòng)等方法調(diào)動(dòng)學(xué)生主動(dòng)學(xué)習(xí)，把啟發(fā)式、任務(wù)式、討論式、結(jié)對(duì)子、小組活動(dòng)、課堂展示、多媒體手段等行之有效的活動(dòng)與學(xué)科內(nèi)容教學(xué)有機(jī)結(jié)合，提高學(xué)生的語(yǔ)言技能，激發(fā)學(xué)生的興趣，培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的自主性和創(chuàng)造性，提升思辨能力和綜合素質(zhì)。

章節(jié)摘錄

　　Americans are a peculiar people. They work like mad, then give away much of whatthey earn. They play until they are exhausted, and call this a vacation. They love to thinkof themselves as tough-minded business men, yet they are push-overs for any hard luckstory. They have the biggest of nearly everything including government, motor cars anddebts, yet they are afraid of bigness. They are always trying to chip away at biggovernment, big business, big unions, big influence.　　They like to think of themselves as little people, average men, and they would liketo cut everything down to their own size. Yet they boast of their tall buildings, highmountains, long rivers, big state, the best country, the best world, the best heaven.They also have the most traffic deaths, the most waste, the most racketeering.　　When they meet, they are always telling each other, "Take it easy," then they rushoff like crazy in opposite directions. They play games as if they were fighting a war, andfight wars as if playing a game. They marry more, go broke more often and make moremoney than any other people. They love children, animals, gadgets, mother, work,excitement, noise, nature, television shows, comedy, installment buying, fast motion,spectator sports, the underdog, the flag, Christmas, jazz, shapely women and muscularmen, classical recordings, crowds, comics, cigarettes, warm houses in winter and coolones in summer, thick beefsteaks, coffee, ice cream, informal dress, plenty of runningwater, do-it-yourself, and a working week trimmed to forty hours or less.　　They crowd their highways with cars while complaining about the traffic, flock tomovies and television while griping about the quality and the commercials, go to churchbut do not care much for sermons, and drink too much in the hope of relaxing——only tofind themselves stimulated to even bigger dreams.
