以下是部分课程简介,我们将推出更多全英文版的课程简介。

《基础英语》

此门课程作为英语专业一年级的综合技能课程,其主要目的在于初步培养学生综合运用英语的能力。此课程深入分析精选篇章,系统传授语音、语法、词汇等基础语言知识,全面训练听、说、读、写、译各项语言技能,为学生进入高年级学习打下扎实基础。

基础英语为综合训练课程,与语音、阅读、听说、写作等单项技能训练课程联系紧密、相互促进,并相铺相成对学生进行听、说、读、写、译等各项语言技能的全面训练,使其达到《高等学校英语专业教学大纲》所规定的技能要求。然而与二年级基础英语课程相比,一年级基础英语课程在不忽视读写的同时侧重于听说。与其他单项技能训练课程,此课程强调通过常用词汇、语法的反复操练,提高这些词汇、语法的口笔头复用能力。

《英语口语》(外教)

This course will equip students with intermediate speaking skills for a variety of common life situations, ranging from getting acquainted to interviewing for a job. Students will be responsible not only for textbook material, but whatever is presented in class. While taking good notes is important when the teacher gives instructions, principles, and language structures, the class will not be a traditional lecture class. Rather, it will be interactive and activity based. Some of the activities and techniques to be used will include: pair work, group work, role play, oral presentation, songs, dictation, games, proverb translation, recitation, and journal writing.

《英国文学简史及作品选读》

This course will equip students with knowledge of selected literary classics in poetry, the short story, drama, and non-fiction prose. The course will unfold historically to give students an appreciation of literary movements and changing modes of literary expression. The primary method of interpretation will be close reading, but supplemented by other approaches, e.g., formalist, historical, and intertextual. We will also pay attention to the authors’ lives as relevant to the reading. At the end of the course, students should be able to describe the basic elements of each literary period; identify an author by a combination of content, style, and technique; recognize several genres (all those covered); scan a poem; and know and apply the elements of short story writing.

《英美诗歌名篇选读》

The purpose of this course is to enable students of English to read various kinds of English poetry with understanding and appreciation. This involves recognizing what kind of poem we are reading - by analogy, we do not listen to Jazz, rock-’n-roll, and classical music with the same ear - and thus what questions we can ask of it, what answers expect. The course is not primarily historical, though poems from the 16th into the 20th century will be sampled. We shall do a fair amount of reading aloud in class because at one level poetry is a form of music. Students are neither expected to have had previous experience with poetry, though it is likely some members of the class will have had considerable, nor are students required to like poetry: Understanding and appreciation are our goals.
