《普通高等教育“十五”國(guó)家級(jí)規(guī)劃教材·新視野大學(xué)英語(yǔ):讀寫(xiě)教程2》同步提供課本、光盤(pán)與網(wǎng)絡(luò)課程。傳統(tǒng)的課本是幾千年文化的承襲,為人類(lèi)培養(yǎng)了一代又一代的社會(huì)棟梁。課本有其特有的編寫(xiě)體系,擯棄課本會(huì)嚴(yán)重影響長(zhǎng)期形成的教學(xué)理念。課本仍然是不可取代的、行之有效的根本性教學(xué)工具。課本與光盤(pán)、網(wǎng)絡(luò)課程的同步推出,有助于拓寬教學(xué)內(nèi)容,使教學(xué)內(nèi)容可以從課本開(kāi)始,通過(guò)因特網(wǎng)這一媒介,延伸到多元化的信息世界;課本與光盤(pán)、網(wǎng)絡(luò)課程的同步推出,有助于廣大教師對(duì)教與學(xué)的思維轉(zhuǎn)化和手段更新,使傳統(tǒng)的“灌注式教學(xué)”能逐步演化到自主選擇、參與式的教學(xué);課本與光盤(pán)、網(wǎng)絡(luò)課程的同步推出,會(huì)引起教學(xué)模式的轉(zhuǎn)變,既可以實(shí)現(xiàn)由教師現(xiàn)場(chǎng)指導(dǎo)的實(shí)時(shí)同步學(xué)習(xí),也可以實(shí)現(xiàn)在教學(xué)計(jì)劃指導(dǎo)下的非實(shí)時(shí)自學(xué),還可以實(shí)現(xiàn)通過(guò)使用電子郵件、網(wǎng)上討論區(qū)、網(wǎng)絡(luò)通話等手段的小組合作型學(xué)習(xí)等。
大學(xué)英語(yǔ)的發(fā)展歷程,可追溯到20世紀(jì)80年代初期。我國(guó)的外語(yǔ)教育家們博采古今中外之長(zhǎng),精心研究,推出了《大學(xué)英語(yǔ)教學(xué)大綱》和大學(xué)英語(yǔ)四、六級(jí)考試,編寫(xiě)了一套套各具特色的精品教材,創(chuàng)造了大學(xué)英語(yǔ)教學(xué)蓬勃發(fā)展、滿園春色的今天!
新舊世紀(jì)的交替,不是一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的更迭,而是事物不斷發(fā)展、循序漸進(jìn)的過(guò)程。新世紀(jì)帶來(lái)的是新的起點(diǎn),新的追求,新的開(kāi)拓。在教育戰(zhàn)線上,我們看到了宏偉壯觀的“面向21世紀(jì)教育振興行動(dòng)計(jì)劃”、“新世紀(jì)高等教育改革工程”、“新世紀(jì)網(wǎng)絡(luò)課程建設(shè)工程”等一系列新世紀(jì)的大手筆。
“新世紀(jì)網(wǎng)絡(luò)課程建設(shè)工程”是經(jīng)國(guó)務(wù)院批準(zhǔn)的、由教育部實(shí)施的“面向21世紀(jì)振興行動(dòng)計(jì)劃”的重點(diǎn)工程!靶率兰o(jì)網(wǎng)絡(luò)課程建設(shè)工程”計(jì)劃用兩年左右的時(shí)間,建設(shè)200門(mén)左右的基礎(chǔ)性網(wǎng)絡(luò)課程!缎乱曇按髮W(xué)英語(yǔ)》便是其中之一,它像一枝剛剛破土而出的幼苗,沐浴著新世紀(jì)的曙光,帶著思索與遐想,來(lái)到了大學(xué)英語(yǔ)教師和學(xué)生的身旁。它是教育部普通高等教育“十五”國(guó)家級(jí)規(guī)劃教材,也是教育部大學(xué)外語(yǔ)推薦教材。我們作為《新視野大學(xué)英語(yǔ)》的作者,懷著無(wú)限的誠(chéng)摯,愿與廣大高校英語(yǔ)界的同仁們共同探討大學(xué)英語(yǔ)再上一個(gè)新臺(tái)階的思路。

1.While traveling for various speaking appointments, I frequently stay overnight in the home of a family and am assigned to one of the children's bedrooms. In it, I often find so many toys that there's almost no room even for my small lavatory or toilet kit. And the closet is usually so tightly packed with clothes that I can barely squeeze in my jacket.
2.I'm not complaining, only making a point. I think the tendency to give children too many toys and clothes is quite common in American families. I think in far too many families not only do children come to take their parents' generosity for granted, but also the effects of this can actually be somewhat harmful to children.
