《研究生英语听说教程(引进版)》就是一套以培养学生听力策略和微技能为核心,在突出听力策略和微技能培训的同时,通过大量的练习培养学生说、写能力的教材。《研究生英语听说教程(引进版)》共两册。两册教材在**章都首先通过各种练习介绍了微技能,使学生真正了解它们在提高听的能力方面的意义和作用。**册围绕7项微技能进行训练。第二册除螺旋式地进一步进行7项微技能训练外,还增加了两项难度较高的微技能训练,即Scanning for Background Information与Revising Assumptions。
值得提出的是,这套教材还注意结合*常见和*实用的情景,每章围绕一个主题进行听力训练。这些主题覆盖面广而且很现实,例如既有日常生活的话题(超市、业余爱好、旅游等),也有学生十分关心的主题(就业选择、个人困惑、面试、未来事业等)。由于这套教材是为以英语为外语的学生编写的,因此它不仅介绍国外的情景,使学生对英语**的文化习俗有所了解,而且引导学生结合本国的实际进行比较和讨论。这就不仅使学生有话可说,而且有亲切感。
这套教材的另一个特点就是它有十分丰富的练习,而且是以练习为主体。教材在培

Speech Tip:
A good speech has an introduction, body, and conclusion. The introductioncatches the listener's attention and states the topic of the speech. To introducethis speech, you don't just say: This is my dream home.A better way to start would be:
Right now, I'm a full-time student and don't have enough money to live in a nice place. However, someday I hope to be able to buy a big beautiful home. Today, I'd like to tell you about my dream home.The body of the speech contains all the important information about the topic.Be sure to include enough explanations, details, and examples, so youraudience will have a good picture of what you are describing. Also, make surethere are good transitions between the main points in the body of your speech.Don't just say: 中国加入WTO之后,对外交流日增,对外交流中英语听与说的能力尤显重要。社会对高层次应用型英语人才的需求日益强烈。在非英语专业研究生英语教学中,听说能力的培养也越来越受到重视。要加强学生听说能力的培养,使之全面掌握各项英语交际技能,应该采用什么样的教材和教学方法呢?这是值得我们认真思考的问题。
相对而言,在口头交际中“听不懂”往往远甚于“说不出”。这因为“说什么”是说话人可以控制的。说话的时候,人们是使用已经掌握了的语言材料来表达思想。至于无法表达的内容,常常可以用替代、解释、手语等策略来达到交流的目的。但是,在听的时候,听话人是被动的,经常会因为对方的口音、用语、语流、语速等方面的原因而无法准确理解对方的话语,从而产生口头交际的困难。此外,听话是言语和意念输入的过程,说话是输出的过程。在学习过程中,应先有输入,然后才有输出;输入的语言材料越多,输出的言语才能更丰富。因此,着重培养听力,并且通过听力训练来提高学生的口语能力是一个行之有效的教学方法。
众所周知,学生如果只掌握语音语调、一定量的词汇和足够的语法知识,并不一定能轻松地“听懂”话语;只有掌握了各种听力技能才有可能达到“理解口头语言”的目的。因此听力是一种语言技能,听力训练的过程实际上是一个培养听力策略(Listening strategies)和听力微技能(1isteningmicro-skills)的过程。
