《國際商務英語報刊選讀(全新版)/全國外經貿院校高職高專英語系列精品教材》與前版不同的是,本版對每一課都設計了Pre—readingTasks,將前版注解中出現(xiàn)的關鍵知識點(如世界知名企業(yè)的介紹、知名人物的介紹、經濟常識的介紹等)設計成學習或調研任務,要求學生在學習本課之前通過網絡進行調研,靠自己的努力獲取這些知識,并向班級或小組進行匯報。在完成這些任務的過程中,學生的信息處理能力、閱讀能力、文字組織能力、課件制作能力以及口頭表達能力等都會得到相應提高。
另外,《國際商務英語報刊選讀(全新版)/全國外經貿院校高職高專英語系列精品教材》課后練習增加了DiSCIassion,要求學生根據課文所涉及的問題或引申出的問題,發(fā)表個人看法。為完成該項任務,學生必要時還須進行有效的調查。在完成Discussion的過程中,學生的邏輯思維能力(包括思考問題的全面性、邏輯性、嚴密性等),口頭表達能力及應變能力都會得到大幅提高。所討論的題目基本都是開放式的,很少有固定答案。鑒于學生認知水平存在一定局限和差異,教師要注意對學生進行有效引導和指導方能達到設計的效果。
我國高等職業(yè)教育發(fā)展到今天,在強調以能力為核心的同時,越來越注重學生綜合素質的培養(yǎng),注重學生的全面發(fā)展和可持續(xù)發(fā)展。素質與能力并重的人才培養(yǎng)目標,要求教學模式要從傳統(tǒng)以教師為中心向以學生為中心轉變!秶H商務英語報刊選讀(全新版)/全國外經貿院校高職高專英語系列精品教材》除對內容進行更新外(共更新了10課文章),更側重于體現(xiàn)素能并重、以學生為中心為根本宗旨,這主要體現(xiàn)在對課前任務和課后練習的設計上。
