前言
在中國,英語的教與學(xué),無論是教師或是學(xué)生,不可謂不重視,各方面的投入也很多,然而其效果之差,人皆知之。相當(dāng)多的人在學(xué)了幾年英語之后便陷入了一種尷尬的局面:單詞認(rèn)識(shí)了不少,語法規(guī)則背了不少,可是英語卻讀不懂,說不出,寫不成,無法用英語進(jìn)行真正的交際,因而由厭倦變灰心,繼而最終放棄,不但浪費(fèi)了寶貴的年華,而且當(dāng)需要使用英語時(shí)又常常會(huì)后悔不已。面對(duì)這種情況,作為英語教育工作者,我們一直在探求提高英語教學(xué)效果的有效途徑,比如如何針對(duì)中國學(xué)生英語學(xué)習(xí)的特點(diǎn)和規(guī)律,創(chuàng)新教材體系,激發(fā)學(xué)生和教師的積極性和主動(dòng)性,營造艮好的語言實(shí)踐環(huán)境,促進(jìn)學(xué)生語言綜合運(yùn)用能力的提高。“新空間大學(xué)英語”系列教材就是為此所作的一次嘗試。“新空間大學(xué)英語”系列教材編寫依據(jù)是教育部《全國大學(xué)英語教學(xué)基本要求(課程標(biāo)準(zhǔn))》,同時(shí)參考教育部《高職高專教育英語課程教學(xué)基本要求》,并根據(jù)發(fā)展的需要有一定的前瞻性。“新空間大學(xué)英語”系列教材的對(duì)象為大學(xué)本科、專科院校非英語專業(yè)對(duì)英語綜合應(yīng)用能力要求較高的專業(yè)及高職高專英語專業(yè)等相關(guān)專業(yè)。“新空間大學(xué)英語”系列教材從中國學(xué)生的實(shí)際出發(fā),注重培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的扎實(shí)語言技能,全面提高學(xué)生的英語綜合運(yùn)用能力。將英語閱讀和交際性相結(jié)合,正確處理聽、說、讀、寫、譯的關(guān)系,聽說與讀寫并重,強(qiáng)調(diào)英語教學(xué)應(yīng)從實(shí)際出發(fā),博采眾長,講究實(shí)效?!靶驴臻g大學(xué)英語”系列教材的編寫吸收了當(dāng)代語言學(xué)和教學(xué)理論研究的最新成果,它是一套開放性的、立體式的現(xiàn)代化教材。其《綜合教程》在詞匯量等方面略有超越,選取有一定難度的文章來激發(fā)學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)熱情,增加學(xué)生的語感,為啟發(fā)學(xué)生深入思考提供充裕的素材,幫助學(xué)生提高閱讀能力、分析和解決問題的能力?!斗鹤x教程》選材難度控制嚴(yán)格,有助于提高學(xué)生的閱讀速度,擴(kuò)大學(xué)生的知識(shí)面,增強(qiáng)其對(duì)英語國家文化的了解。《聽說教程》以系統(tǒng)的訓(xùn)練方法幫助學(xué)生打牢聽說基礎(chǔ),激發(fā)學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)興趣,提高學(xué)生的整體語言水平?!靶驴臻g大學(xué)英語”系列教材在教學(xué)理念方面走的是綜合創(chuàng)新之路,使教師在教學(xué)上有更大的彈性,有助于發(fā)揮教師的潛力,培養(yǎng)教師的創(chuàng)造力,為教師施展才能提供了廣闊的空間,創(chuàng)造出各種新穎的教學(xué)法。

章節(jié)摘錄
Learn from Failure It was a few minutes before air time and the talk-show host was aboutto begin his radio program. He poured himself a cup of coffee and then,turning to me, said something surprisingt“You know, this job never gets any easier,” said this knowledgeableman who for years presided over an extremely popular call-in show. “Everytime I go on the air, I have to overcome a fear that I‘ll fail; that the show won’t be any good.” He paused. “But I‘ve found out something interesting about failing.And that is, you can build on success but you really learn only from failure. “ A few days later, a letter arrived that seemed, in a way, to continue this line of thought. Written by a young man I know quite well, the letter concerned itself with the idea that adversity might offer, in the long run,more rewards than getting what you thought you wanted. My correspondent wrote : “What I guess I’m learning from my difficult situation is a deeper sense of who I am. And what I‘ m capable of when it comes to handlingdisappointment. I think at least I hope I’ll come out of this a strongerperson.” Then last week, in what seemed a curious completion of the philosophy lurking beneath both these remarks, I came across this unattributed uuotation in a book on mountain climbing, “Today is a new day, you‘ll get out of it just what you put into it. If you have made mistakes, even serious mistakes, you can make a new start whenever you choose. For the thing we call failure is not the falling down but the staying down.” Few among us can claim the distinction of not knowing the sting of falling down, of “failure”: the promotion not gotten; the honor not won; the job lost; the praise denied. ……
