《博雅閱讀·報刊選讀》是英語專業(yè)博雅教育系列教材之一,是為高等學校英語專業(yè)在校本科生量身定做的。
課文部分。課文部分有以下幾個特點:一是取材鮮活化,全部內(nèi)容來源于近幾十年以來世界最具權(quán)威的英美報刊原文,未作任何改動,原汁原味。二是題材全面化,力求涵蓋自由七藝,即古希臘所謂的“三學”(文法、修辭、邏輯)和“四術(shù)”(算術(shù)、幾何、天文、音樂),以求對學生進行廣范圍和深層次的文化滲透。三是體裁多樣化,包括哲理散文、就職講演、分析評論、人物傳記、報告文學等諸多方面。四是編排實用化,結(jié)合課堂教學實際,從易到難,循序漸進,簡明扼要,囊括一學年的教學內(nèi)容。
練習部分。均從真實語料庫中選用語篇、句子、詞組、詞匯。設(shè)計項目主要有以下五個方面:一是對課文的理解,包括釋義、問答;二是對英美文化的介紹,包括閱讀、專業(yè)術(shù)語;三是對語言基礎(chǔ)知識能力的鞏固和加強,涉及同義詞、反義詞、詞義辨析、詞組搭配、句子加工、英漢互譯、寫作;四是引導學生提高文學鑒賞水平;五是與進一步的學習接軌,對語言學的相關(guān)領(lǐng)域給予啟示,并練習畢業(yè)論文的書寫格式。最后在附錄中提供部分參考工具書和百科全書,以及全球頗具影響力的報刊名目,給予學生一定的幫助。
愿本書能夠有助于實現(xiàn)博雅教育“學識廣博,生活高雅”的宗旨,塑造學生的理想人格,豐富他們的健康人性,喚醒他們的優(yōu)雅氣質(zhì)。這也是我國現(xiàn)代社會教育之所期盼。
