《视听说教程(教师手册3)/新世纪大学英语系列教材(第二版)》每个单元由Lesson A(Listening&Speaking)和Lesson B(Video Course)构成。
Lesson A从第一节到第四节,详细设计了语言点的引入、交际功能表达法的介绍、题材的介绍等等。
第一节Vocabulary Link是介绍与本节题材与交际功能有关的词汇和短语,第二节Listening是结合情景与交际功能进行听力练习,第三节Pronunciation为语音训练提供基本知识和示范,第四节Speaking&Communication结合情景与交际功能进行听和说的综合练习,将这些材料有机结合,在课堂里进行操练和仿说练习,帮助学生有效提高听和说的能力。教材每单元内容比较充裕,如果按计划进行听和说的操练,一般学校能够在课堂时间内完成教材内容。但有些学校如果因为班级太大,在课堂内组织口语练习确有困难,可以根据实际情况对内容进行选择,把课内时间集中在听力练习上,重点发展学生的英语听解能力。对于班级里英语程度比较好的有条件的学生,可鼓励他们在课外通过网络课件进一步进行听、说操练,全面提高英语听、说能力。
另外,第三版对Lesson B也做了相应的调整和补充,目的是帮助学生在理解的基础上切实提高英语口语能力。第一部分Global Viewpoints是采访不同的人就同一题材发表观点,受访者来自世界各地,英语地道、规范,语速正常,还可能带有一点当地口音,这些正是现实生活中可能遇到的情况。为了帮助学生充分理解说话内容,教材设计了相应的练习提高听解能力,同时也增加一些产出练习。第二部分City Living是情景喜剧短片,有人物,有情节,有故事。
但是仅仅看懂故事梗概并不是语言课的目的。英语课的目的是帮助学生掌握其中的语言,尤其是要学习其中的Everyday English,表达交际功能的语言手段,以及掌握谈论某个题材所需的词语,这些英语口语中最常用的预构成语块是会话策略的重要语言手段,学生要结合短片中的情景、人物表情和肢体语言,充分理解、熟练掌握。为此,教材设计了各种有效的练习,帮助学生掌握地道的英语,加强语感,同时提高学习语言的兴趣。
