三表英语精读课教学的新模式

论文摘要

该论文主要探讨三表学生英语精读课教学的新模式。部分大学生由于其高考入学分数略低于统招学生并因此支付较高的学费而被称为三表学生。绝大多数的三表学生的英语基础不好,因此他们在大学英语的学习过程中遇到了极大的困难。鉴于目前这种情况下,迫切需要找到针对三表学生的行之有效的教学方法。为了寻找到这一行之有效的教学方法,在该论文中,笔者将目的语文化,尤其是将其中的交际文化知识与大学英语的核心课程即精读课相融合。笔者通过对比目的语文化与本土文化的差异,使这种目的语文化的融合法得以实现。这两种文化的差异是通过其对应的英汉这两种语言所体现出来的。因此,文化对比的内容是从词汇、语法、到语篇结构。文化对比的内容主要来自于教科书,《新视野大学英语》。笔者通过分析三表学生的性格特点、地域特点以及文化和语言教学的密切关系,从而证明这种教学方法的合理性。通过对为期十八个月的实验结果进行形成性评估和终结性评估两种评估形式的数据分析以及跨文化测试,证实这一方法的有效性。除此之外,问卷调查的结果表明在这一新的教学模式被应用到三表学生中之后,大部分的三表学生都对英语学习产生了兴趣。简而言之,三表学生英语精读课教学的新模式,即目的语文化的融合法提高了他们的英语水平、增强其文化敏感度、激发其英语学习的兴趣、培养其学习自主性。
