前言
為適應(yīng)“十三五”我國高等學(xué)校外語教學(xué)改革與發(fā)展的需要,貫徹落實(shí)新出臺的《高等學(xué)校外國語言文學(xué)專業(yè)本科教學(xué)質(zhì)量國家標(biāo)準(zhǔn)》和《高等學(xué)校大學(xué)英語教學(xué)指南》的精神,推動我國專門用途英語課程群建設(shè)和教師發(fā)展,清華大學(xué)出版社精心策劃,從國外引進(jìn)一套高質(zhì)量的“專門用途英語教學(xué)與研究學(xué)術(shù)文庫”,以填補(bǔ)國內(nèi)ESP 教學(xué)與學(xué)術(shù)研究參考書的空白。
本套叢書為開放式,涉及專業(yè)英語和學(xué)術(shù)英語教學(xué)與研究的諸多方面,目的是幫助高校廣大英語教師提高專用英語教學(xué)和科研水平。叢書具有學(xué)術(shù)性、專業(yè)性、實(shí)用性、前瞻性等特點(diǎn),全部為國外原版引進(jìn),今后還會不斷補(bǔ)充。我們邀請了國內(nèi)ESP 教學(xué)與研究領(lǐng)域的專家學(xué)者為每本書撰寫了中文導(dǎo)讀。
