大学英语教学课程教学要求(07年版)
大学英语课程教学要求(一)大学英语的教学目标是培养学生的英语综合应用能力特别是听说能力。
使学生能够在今后工作和社会交往中能够用英语有效地交流,同时增强学生的自主学习能力,提高综合文化素质,以适应我国经济发展和国际交流的需要。
大学英语的教学改革应有针对性,要有以学生为主体的目标的教学体的建构。
大学英语不仅仅是应用课程,不仅仅是教师与学生的交流,更应该为大学英语的发展提供空间,使人们能够期待大学英语的可再生发展。
该目标与初中、高中的教程标准的理念也是一致的。
我们应当把情感的培养融入到大学英语的教学当中,实现教学目标并确保提高大学英语的教学质量。
情感态度的培养包括国际视野、祖国意识、合作精神、自信意志、兴趣动机、文化意识包括意识和能力,跨文化交际、文化理解、文化知识,学习策略包括交际策略、资源策略、调控策略和认知策略;语言技能,语言知识的培养包括话题、功能、语法、词汇、语言极其语言技巧的听、说、读、学的培养和实施。
大学英语课程教学要求(二)外语教育要根据生源、教改的要求分类指导、因材施教。
针对大学阶段的英语教学要求:外语教育分为三个层次,一般要求、较高要求和更高要求。
《大学英语课程教学要求》对英语听力、阅读理解能力和翻译能力分别提出了听懂、学以致用以及双言、双语能力即普通话与方言并轨,汉语与外语并用的能力等的改革的建议。
教师应保持多学多练的底线,对学生弹性想要,多写多练,多多益善。
对普通学生达到学以致用及其与专业相联系的要求。
对一批优秀的学生,因其英语水平完全能达到更高要求。
故教师应强调对学生听、读、写、译的较高要求和更高要求。
大学英语课程教学要求(三)大学英语课程不仅是一门语言基础课程,也是拓宽知识,了解世界文化的素质教育课程,兼有工具性和人文性。
设计大学英语课程要求建立目标教学大纲的时候,应当充分考虑对学生的文化素质培养及国际文化知识的传授。
大学英语课程要求要在发挥传统课堂教学有时的同时,进一步推进和事件大学英语教学改革,切实促进大学英语的综合应用,尤其是听说能力的提高。

《大学英语课程教学要求》和大学英语第二课堂教学策略
2012年3月湖北第二师范学院学报Mar.2012第29卷第3期Journal of Hubei University of EducationVol.29No.3《大学英语课程教学要求》和大学英语第二课堂教学策略张珊珊,简远超(广东外语外贸大学南国商学院,广州510420)摘要:本文阐述了《大学英语课程教学要求》和大学英语第二课堂教学策略的关系,并以广东外语外贸大学南国商学院为例,分析了在“教师主导,学生自主,功夫在外”的教学模式下,英语第二课堂教学策略的选择和制定。
本文认为,大学英语第二课堂建设是培养学生自主能力的平台,有助于大学课堂教学模式的转换,必须在大学教学改革中得到重视。
关键词:大学英语课程教学要求;教学策略;第二课堂;教学改革收稿日期:2012-01-19中图分类号:G642文献标识码:A文章编号:1674-344X (2012)03-0104-03作者简介:张珊珊(1975-),女,四川崇州人,讲师,硕士,研究方向为英语教学、英美文学。
简远超(1942-),男,湖南郴州人,副教授,研究方向为英语语言与文化、英语教学法。
作为大学英语教学改革的指导性文件,教育部《大学英语课程教学要求(试行)》于2007年正式颁布施行。
该文件对大学英语课程设置做了不同的表述,其中的一种表述把大学英语课程分为基于课堂教学的课程和基于网络和计算机教学的课程。
基于课堂教学的课程由教师面授完成,基于网络和计算机教学的课程由学生自主学习完成。
在这种课程设置的条件下,教师面授课时比传统课程设置条件下的教师面授课时有所减少,学生接受有指导的英语技能训练的时间也相应减少;学生在课外学习的效率和效果成了教学关注的一个焦点问题。
因此,与大学英语课堂教学相对应的大学英语第二课堂教学的重要性也随之凸显。
顾名思义,大学英语第二课堂教学是指在教学计划,教学大纲规定的教学活动之外,教学单位组织学生利用课外时间而开展的各种英语学习活动,例如英语演讲比赛,英语写作比赛等等。
论大学英语传统教学法与非指导性教学法
论大学英语传统教学法与非指导性教学法《大学英语教学课程要求(试行)》颁布以后,大学英语教学改革取得了很大突破,但始终无法摆脱传统教学思想的束缚,拟从“以学生为中心”的人本主义教育思想,分析传统教学法与非指导性教学法,以扬长避短,促使中国大学英语教学走上一条创新路。
标签:人本主义;大学英语;传统教学法;非指导性教学法1 传统的英语教学传统的大学英语的是粉笔和黑板、教科书为主,录音带为辅的讲授法为主。
这种教学媒介单一,不能有效地贯彻教的教育原则,也无法适应个性化教育的要求,它使学生处于被动接受状态,严重制约着英语教学质量的提高。
2 近年来大学英语教学改革回顾随着科学技术的发展,二十世纪语言教学的手段出现了一场惊人的革命。
幻灯、投影、电视、电影及录像等媒介应用到语言教学中,使语言教学得到了迅速的发展,它使语言教学在质量和速度上发生了质的飞跃。
各种新颖的教学组织形式也如雨后春笋般展现,分层、分组教学,特郎普制教学也极大的促进了大学英语教学的发展。
但是,这些改革大多重于教学形式,未能真正延伸到问题的实质,即“以学生为中心”的教学,实质上还是可以归属于传统的大学英语教学。
3 人本主义的教育观人本主义教育思想的核心是认可人的潜能和价值,其主要特点是在充分相信学习者的潜能,并为其提供一切机会和条件的前提下,调动学习者的主观能动性,使其成为善于学习的学习者。
因此,强调学习者内在的自主学习,这是人本化教育思想的最基本特征。
卡尔·罗杰斯是当代美国最著名的人本主义心理学家和教育改革家。
他的“学生中心论”以及由此提出的“非指导性”教学思想和教学模式,引起了当代国际教育界的关注。
该理论注重教学活动中学生的情感、个性的发展,对我国的教学实践具有极其重要的借鉴意义,这些对教育的真知灼见,也对我们今天的大学英语教学改革有着深远的指导意义。
4 人本主义的大学英语教学4.1 大学英语教学的目标要真正理顺大学英语教学中的种种关系,关键在于把握大学英语教学的目标是什么。
大学英语教学大纲(课程教学要求)
大学英语课程教学要求(教学大纲)为适应我国高等教育发展的新形势,深化教学改革,提高教学质量,满足新时期国家和社会对人才培养的需要,特制订《大学英语课程教学要求》(以下简称《课程要求》),作为各高等学校组织非英语专业本科生英语教学的主要依据。
鉴于全国高等学校的教学资源、学生入学水平以及所面临的社会需求等不尽相同,各高等学校应参照《课程要求》,根据本校的实际情况,制订科学、系统、个性化的大学英语教学大纲,指导本校的大学英语教学。
一、教学性质和目标大学英语教学是高等教育的一个有机组成部分,大学英语课程是大学生的一门必修的基础课程。
大学英语是以外语教学理论为指导,以英语语言知识与应用技能、跨文化交际和学习策略为主要内容,并集多种教学模式和教学手段为一体的教学体系。
大学英语的教学目标是培养学生的英语综合应用能力,特别是听说能力,使他们在今后学习、工作和社会交往中能用英语有效地进行交际,同时增强其自主学习能力,提高综合文化素养,以适应我国社会发展和国际交流的需要。
二、教学要求我国幅员辽阔,各地区、各高校之间情况差异较大,大学英语教学应贯彻分类指导、因材施教的原则,以适应个性化教学的实际需要。
大学阶段的英语教学要求分为三个层次,即一般要求、较高要求和更高要求。
这是我国高等学校非英语专业本科生经过大学阶段的英语学习与实践应当选择达到的标准。
一般要求是高等学校非英语专业本科毕业生应达到的基本要求。
较高要求或更高要求是为有条件的学校根据自己的办学定位、类型和人才培养目标所选择的标准而推荐的。
各高等学校应根据本校实际情况确定教学目标,并创造条件,使那些英语起点水平较高、学有余力的学生能够达到较高要求或更高要求。
三个层次的英语能力要求如下:一般要求:1. 听力理解能力:能听懂英语授课,能听懂日常英语谈话和一般性题材的讲座,能听懂语速较慢(每分钟130 ~150词)的英语广播和电视节目,能掌握其中心大意,抓住要点。
能运用基本的听力技巧。

Course DesignTaking into account the school's circumstances, colleges and universities should follow the guidelines of the Requirements and the goals of their College English teaching in designing their College English course systems. A course system, which is a combination of required and elective courses in comprehensive English, language skills, English for practical uses, language and culture, and English of specialty, should ensure that students at different levels receive adequate training and make improvement in their ability to use English.In designing College English courses, requirements for cultivating competence in listening and speaking should be fully considered, and corresponding teaching hours and credits should be adequately allocated. Moreover, the extensive use of advanced information technology should be encouraged, computer- and Web-based courses should be developed, and students should be provided with favorable environment and facilities for language learning.College English is not only a language course that provides basic knowledge about English, but also a capacity enhancement course that helps students to broaden their horizons and learn about different cultures in the world. It not only serves as a tool, but also has humanistic values. When designing College English courses, therefore, it is necessary to take into full consideration the development of students' cultural capacity and the teaching of knowledge about different cultures in the world.All the courses, whether computer-based or classroom-based, should be fully individual-oriented, taking into account students with different starting points, so that students who start from lower levels will be well taken care of while students whose English is better will find room for further development. College English course design should help students to have a solid foundation in the English language while developing their ability to use English, especially their ability to listen and speak in English. It should ensure that students make steady progress inEnglish proficiency throughout their undergraduate studies, and it should encourage students' individualized learning so as to meet the needs of their development in different specialties.IV. Teaching ModelIn view of the marked increase in student enrolments and the relatively limited resources, colleges and universities should remold the existing unitary teacher- centered pattern of language teaching by introducing computer- and classroom- based teaching models. The new model should be built on modern information technology, particularly network technology, so that English language teaching and learning will be, to a certain extent, free from the constraints of time or place and geared towards students' individualized and autonomous learning. The new model should combine the principles of practicality, knowledge and interest, facilitate mobilizing the initiative of both teachers and students, and attach particular importance to the central position of students and the leading role of teachers in the teaching and learning process. This model should incorporate into it the strengths of the current model and give play to the advantages of traditional classroom teaching while fully employing modern information technology.Colleges and universities should explore and establish a Web-based listening and speaking teaching model that suits their own needs in line with their own conditions and students' English proficiency, and deliver listening and speaking courses via the intranet or campus network. The teaching of reading, writing and translation can be conducted either in the classroom or online. With regard to computer- and Web-based courses, face-to-face coaching should be provided in order to guarantee the effects of learning.The network-based teaching system developed in an attempt to implement the new teaching model should cover the complete process of teaching, learning, feedback and management, including such modules as students' learning and self-assessment, teachers' lectures, and online coaching, as well as the monitoring and management of learning and coaching. It should be able to track down, record and check the progress of learning in addition to teaching and coaching, and attain to a high level of interactivity, multimedia use and operability. Colleges and universities should adopt good teaching software and encourage teachers to make effective use of Web multimedia and other teaching resources.One of the objectives of the reform of the teaching model is to promote the development of individualized study methods and the autonomous learning ability on the part of students. The new model should enable students to select materials and methods suited to their individual needs, Obtain guidance in learning strategies, and gradually improve their autonomous learning ability.Changes in the teaching model by no means call for changes in teaching methods and approaches only, but, more importantly, consist of changes in teaching philosophy and practice, and in a shift from a teacher-centered pattern, in which knowledge of the language and skills are imparted by the teacher in class only, to a student-centered pattern, in which the ability to use the language and the ability to learn independently are cultivated in addition to language knowledge and skills, and also to lifelong education, geared towards cultivating students' lifelong learning ability.For the implementation of the new model, refer to Appendix 1: Computer- and Classroom-Based College English Teaching Model.Ⅴ. EvaluationEvaluation is a key component in College English teaching. A comprehensive, objective, scientific and accurate evaluation system is of vital importance to the achievement of course goals. It not only helps teachers obtain feedback, improve the administration of teaching, and ensure teaching quality but also provides students with an effective means to adjust their learning strategies and methods, improve their learning efficiency and achieve the desired learning effects.The evaluation of students' learning consists of formative assessment and summative assessmentFormative assessment refers to procedural and developmental assessment conducted in the teaching process, i.e., tracking the teaching process, providing feedback and promoting an all-round development of the students, in accordance with the teaching objectives and by means of various evaluative methods. It facilitates the effective monitoring of students' autonomous learning, and is particularly important in implementing the computer- and classroom-based teaching model. It includes students' self-assessment, peer assessment, and assessment conducted by teachers and school administrators. Formative assessment takes such forms as keeping a record of students' in and outside of classroom activities and online self-learning data, keeping files on students' study results, and conducting interviews and holding meetings. This allows students' learning processes to be subjected to observation, evaluation and supervision, thus contributing to the enhancement of their learning efficiency. (See the recommended Self'-Assessment/ Peer Assessment Forms for Students' English Competence in Appendix Il.)Summative assessment is conducted at the end of a teaching phase. It mainly consists of final tests and proficiency tests, designed to evaluate students' all-round ability to use English. These tests aim to assess not only students' competence in reading, writing and translation, but also their competence in listening and speaking.To make a summative assessment of teaching, colleges and universities may administer tests of their own, run tests at the intercollegiate or regional level, or let students take the national test after meeting the different standards set by the Requirements. Whatever form the tests may take, the focus should be on the assessment of students' ability to use English in communication, particularly their ability to listen and speak in English.Evaluation also includes that of the teachers, i.e., the assessment of their teaching processes and effects. This should not be merely based on students' test scores, but take into account teachers' attitudes, approaches, and methods; it should also consider the content and organization of their courses, and the effects' of their teaching.Government education administrative offices at different levels and colleges and universities should regard the evaluation of College English teaching as an important part of the evaluation of the overall undergraduate education of the school.VI. Teaching AdministrationTeaching administration should cover the whole process of College English teaching. To ensure that the set teaching objectives can be achieved, efforts should be made to strengthen the guidance for and supervision of the teaching process. For this purpose, the following measures should be taken:1. A system for teaching and teaching administration documentation should be established. Documents of teaching include College English Curriculum of the colleges and universities concerned, as well as the documents stipulating the teaching objectives, course description,teaching arrangement, content of teaching, teaching progress, and methods of assessment for all the courses within the program. Documents of teaching administration include documents registering students' status and their academic credits, regulations of assessment, students' academic scores and records, analyses of exam papers, guidelines for teaching and records of teaching and research activities.2. The College English program should adapt itself to the overall credit system of the colleges and universities concerned and should account for 10% (around 16) of the total undergraduate credits. The credits students acquire via computer-based courses should be equally acknowledged once students pass the exams. It is suggested that these credits should account for no less than 30% of the total credits in College English learning.3. Faculty employment and management should be improved in order to guarantee a reasonable teacher-student ratio. In addition to classroom teaching, the hours spent on face-to-face coaching, instructions on network usage and on extracurricular activities should be counted in the teachers' teaching load.4. A system of faculty development should be established. The quality of teachers is the key to the improvement of the teaching quality, and to the development of the College English program. Colleges and universities should build a faculty team with a good structure of age, educational backgrounds and professional titles, lay emphasis on the training and development of College English teachers, encourage them to conduct teaching and research with a focus on the improvement of teaching quality, create conditions for them to carry out relevant activities in various forms, and promote effective cooperation among them, so that they can better adapt to the new teaching model. Meanwhile, opportunities should be created so that the teachers can enjoy sabbaticals and engage in advanced studies, thus ensuring sustainable improvement in their academic performance and methods of teaching.Appendix ⅠComputer- and Classroom-Based CollegeEnglish Teaching ModelThe new College English teaching model based on the computer and the classroom is designed to help Chinese students achieve the objectives set by the Requirements. The model places a premium on individualized teaching and independent learning and makes full use of the special function of computers in assisting learners with repeated language practice, especially with training in listening, and speaking abilities. While taking advantage of the teachers' lectures and coaching, students can be assisted by computers in choosing the appropriate content and methods of learning according to their specific needs, proficiency and schedules under the guidance of teachers, so that their all-round ability to use English can be improved and the best effects of learning achieved.To implement the computer-based English learning, the teacher's role of face-to-face coaching should be stressed. It could take the form of group work, focusing on checking students' independent learning, and providing due guidance and assistance for students. In principle, at least one hour of coaching should be offered after every 16 to 20 hours of student learning.1.Structure of the ModelInstructions:Teaching activities such as practice in English listening, speaking, reading, writing and translation can be conducted via either the computer or classroom teaching. The solid arrow indicates the main form of a certain environment of teaching, while the dotted arrow the supplementary form of a certain environment of teaching. Specifically, listening ability is trained mainly in a computer- and Web-based environment, supplemented by classroom teaching: writing and translation are trained mainly in the classroom, supplemented by a computer- and Web-based environment. Speaking and reading, on the other hand, are trained by both means. In the process of teaching, teachers serve as organizers of teaching activities, and teaching administration is implemented by the administrative office of teaching affaires, teachers, and teaching management software.Instructions:Freshmen take a computer-based placement test upon entering college to measure their respective starting levels, such as Grade 1, Grade 2 or Grade 3. After the teachers determine the grade and establish an account for all students based on their test results via the management system, students can start to study courses according to teachers' arrangement. After learning continues for a certain period of time (set by the universities and colleges), students can take the Web-based unit test designed by the teachers. Then students automatically enter the next unit if they pass the test. If they fail, students then return to the current unit and repeat the whole learning process. When they are ready (after studying a few units), students should receive tutoring. After individualized tutoring, teachers can check the students' online learning by means of either oral or written tests, and then decide whether the students can pass. If they pass, students can go on to the next stage; if they fail, the students should be required by teachers to go back to a certain unit and re-study it until they pass.Appendix ⅡSelf-Assessment/Peer Assessment Form for Students' English Competence Instructions:1. The Self-Assessment/Peer Assessment Form for Students' English Competencespecifies and lists various linguistic skills covered in the Basic Requirements, Intermediate Requirements and Advanced Requirements. It can help teachers better understand teaching requirements at different levels, thus adding direct relevance to teaching. In addition, teachers can either supplement or modify related skills according to the school's College English syllabus.2. Teachers can introduce to students the skills listed in the Self-Assessment/PeerAssessment Form at the beginning of their teaching, in order to acquaint them with the teaching requirements.3. Teachers should require students to do self-assessment and peer assessment atregular intervals, and in doing so, help them to know about their own mastery of linguistic skills and regulate their learning behaviors on a timely basis.4. Students are expected to assess their own or their classmates' English competencein the "Assessment" column on the right of the form, giving a tick (√) to what they are able to achieve. Then based on the results of self-assessment or peer assessment, and with reference to the directions given below, students can arrange for learning at the next stage.。

(See Appendix III: College English V ocabulary.)The above-mentioned three requirements serve as reference standards for colleges and universities in preparing their own College English teaching documents. They could, in the lightof their respective circumstances, make due adjustments to the specific requirements for listening, speaking, reading, writing and translation at the three levels. In doing so they should place more emphasis on the cultivation and training of listening and speaking abilities.III. Course DesignTaking into account the school's circumstances, colleges and universities should follow the guidelines of the Requirements and the goals of their College English teaching in designing their College English course systems. A course system, which is a combination of required and elective courses in comprehensive English, language skills, English for practical uses, language and culture, and English of specialty, should ensure that students at different levels receive adequate training and make improvement in their ability to use English.In designing College English courses, requirements for cultivating competence in listeningand speaking should be fully considered, and corresponding teaching hours and credits should be adequately allocated. Moreover, the extensive use of advanced information technology should be encouraged, computer- and Web-based courses should be developed, and students should be provided with favorable environment and facilities for language learning.College English is not only a language course that provides basic knowledge about English, but also a capacity enhancement course that helps students to broaden their horizons and learn about different cultures in the world. It not only serves as a tool, but also has humanistic values.

The teaching of reading, writing and translation can be conducted either in the classroom or online.With regard to computer- and Web-based courses, face-to-face coaching should be provided in order to guarantee the effects of learning.The network-based teaching system developed in an attempt to implement the new teaching model should cover the complete process of teaching, learning, feedback and management, including such modules as students' learning and self-assessment, teachers' lectures, and online coaching, as well as the monitoring and management of learning and coaching. It should be able to track down, record and check the progress of learning in addition to teaching and coaching, and attain to a high level of interactivity, multimedia use and operability. Colleges and universities should adopt good teaching software and encourage teachers to make effective use of Web multimedia and other teaching resources.One of the objectives of the reform of the teaching model is to promote the development of individualized study methods and the autonomous learning ability on the part of students. The new model should enable students to select materials and methods suited to their individual needs, Obtain guidance in learning strategies, and gradually improve their autonomous learning ability.Changes in the teaching model by no means call for changes in teaching methods and approaches only, but, more importantly, consist of changes in teaching philosophy and practice, and in a shift from a teacher-centered pattern, in which knowledge of the language and skills are imparted by the teacher in class only, to a student-centered pattern, in which the ability to use the language and the ability to learn independently are cultivated in addition to language knowledgeand skills, and also to lifelong education, geared towards cultivating students' lifelong learning ability.For the implementation of the new model, refer to Appendix 1: Computer- and Classroom-Based College English Teaching Model.Ⅴ.

To ensure that the set teaching objectives can be achieved, efforts should be made to strengthen the guidance for and supervision of the teaching process. For this purpose, the following measures should be taken:1. A system for teaching and teaching administration documentation should be established. Documents of teaching include College English Curriculum of the colleges and universities concerned, as well as the documents stipulating the teaching objectives, course description,teaching arrangement, content of teaching, teaching progress, and methods of assessment for all the courses within the program. Documents of teaching administration include documents registering students' status and their academic credits, regulations of assessment, students' academic scores and records, analyses of exam papers, guidelines for teaching and records of teaching and research activities.2. The College English program should adapt itself to the overall credit system of the colleges and universities concerned and should account for 10% (around 16) of the total undergraduate credits. The credits students acquire via computer-based courses should be equally acknowledged once students pass the exams. It is suggested that these credits should account for no less than 30% of the total credits in College English learning.3. Faculty employment and management should be improved in order to guarantee a reasonable teacher-student ratio. In addition to classroom teaching, the hours spent on face-to-face coaching, instructions on network usage and on extracurricular activities should be counted in the teachers' teaching load.4. A system of faculty development should be established. The quality of teachers is the key to the improvement of the teaching quality, and to the development of the College English program. Colleges and universities should build a faculty team with a good structure of age, educational backgrounds and professional titles, lay emphasis on the training and development of College English teachers, encourage them to conduct teaching and research with a focus on the improvement of teaching quality, create conditions for them to carry out relevant activities in various forms, and promote effective cooperation among them, so that they can better adapt to the new teaching model. Meanwhile, opportunities should be created so that the teachers can enjoy sabbaticals and engage in advanced studies, thus ensuring sustainable improvement in their academic performance and methods of teaching.Appendix ⅠComputer- and Classroom-Based CollegeEnglish Teaching ModelThe new College English teaching model based on the computer and the classroom is designed to help Chinese students achieve the objectives set by the Requirements.

Speaking and reading, on the other hand, are trained by both means. In the process of teaching, teachers serve as organizers of teaching activities, and teaching administration is implemented by the administrative office of teaching affaires, teachers, and teaching management software.Instructions:Freshmen take a computer-based placement test upon entering college to measure their respective starting levels, such as Grade 1, Grade 2 or Grade 3. After the teachers determine the grade and establish an account for all students based on their test results via the management system, students can start to study courses according to teachers' arrangement. After learning continues for a certain period of time (set by the universities and colleges), students can take the Web-based unit test designed by the teachers. Then students automatically enter the next unit if they pass the test. If they fail, students then return to the current unit and repeat the whole learning process. When they are ready (after studying a few units), students should receive tutoring. After individualized tutoring, teachers can check the students' online learning by means of either oral or written tests, and then decide whether the students can pass. If they pass, students can go on to the next stage; if they fail, the students should be required by teachers to go back to a certain unit and re-study it until they pass.Appendix ⅡSelf-Assessment/Peer Assessment Form for Students' English Competence Instructions:1. The Self-Assessment/Peer Assessment Form for Students' English Competencespecifies and lists various linguistic skills covered in the Basic Requirements, Intermediate Requirements and Advanced Requirements. It can help teachers better understand teaching requirements at different levels, thus adding direct relevance to teaching. In addition, teachers can either supplement or modify related skills according to the school's College English syllabus.2. Teachers can introduce to students the skills listed in the Self-Assessment/PeerAssessment Form at the beginning of their teaching, in order to acquaint them with the teaching requirements.3. Teachers should require students to do self-assessment and peer assessment atregular intervals, and in doing so, help them to know about their own mastery of linguistic skills and regulate their learning behaviors on a timely basis.4. Students are expected to assess their own or their classmates' English competencein the "Assessment" column on the right of the form, giving a tick (√) to what they are able to achieve. Then based on the results of self-assessment or peer assessment, and with reference to the directions given below, students can arrange for learning at the next stage.。

《大学英语课程教学要求》(试行)为了适应我国高等教育新的发展形势,深化教学改革,提高教学质量,满足新时期国家和社会对人才培养的需要,特制定《大学英语课程教学要求》(以下简称《课程要求》),作为各校组织非英语专业本科生英语教学的主要依据。
鉴于全国高校的教学资源、学生入学水平以及所面临的社会需求等都不尽相同,各校应参照《课程要求》,根据本校的实际情况,制定科学的、系统的、个性化的大学英语教学大纲,指导本校的大学英语教学。
一、大学英语教学的性质和目标大学英语教学是高等教育的一个有机组成部分,大学英语课程是大学生的一门必修的基础课程。
大学英语教学是以英语语言知识与应用技能、学习策略和跨文化交际为主要内容,以外语教学理论为指导,并集多种教学模式和教学手段为一体的教学体系。
大学英语的教学目标是培养学生英语综合应用能力,特别是听说能力,使他们在今后工作和社会交往中能用英语有效地进行口头和书面的信息交流,同时增强其自主学习能力、提高综合文化素养,以适应我国经济发展和国际交流的需要。
二、教学要求考虑到我国幅员辽阔,各地区以及各高校情况差异较大,大学阶段的英语教学要求分为三个层次,即一般要求、较高要求和更高要求。
这三个不同层次的要求是我国所有高等院校非英语专业本科生经过大学阶段的英语学习与实践应当选择达到的英语水平标准,其中一般要求是每个大学毕业生必须达到的目标。
达到或未达到《高中英语课程标准》七级的大学新生可将一般要求作为大学阶段英语学习的目标。
较高要求和更高要求是对那些学有余力,英语基础较好,达到《高中英语课程标准》八、九级的大学新生而设置的。
这三个要求包括了英语语言知识、应用技能、学习策略和跨文化交际等方面的内容,并以定性和定量的描述体现了大学英语教学的指导思想,即强调培养学生的英语听说能力,以及读写译等英语综合应用能力和专业英语技能;贯彻分类指导、因材施教的原则,以适应立体化、网络化、个性化英语教学和学习的实际需要。
一般要求是高等院校非英语专业本科毕业生应达到的基本要求。

6. 推荐词汇量:掌握的总词汇量应达到6500个单词和1700个词组,其中3000个单词为积极词汇(见附件3:《课程要求》积极词汇表)。
在上述三个层次的听、说、读、写、译等五种能力培养中,各校要特别重视听说能力的培养和训练。
词汇的掌握也是提高听说能力及英语综合应用能力的基础,特别是积极词汇,各校要在教学大纲中有详细的教学安排。
另外,各校在教学中应考虑安排一定的跨文化交际的内容以提高学生的综合素质。
三、课程设置各个学校应当根据本校的实际情况,按照《课程要求》确定本校的大学英语教学目标,并以此为基础设计自己的大学英语课程体系。
该课程体系不仅包括传统的面授课程以外,更应注重开发基于计算机/网络的大学英语课程,将综合英语类、语言技能类、语言应用类、语言文化类和专业英语类等必修课程和选修课程有机结合,形成一个完整的大学英语课程体系,以确保不同层次的学生在英语应用能力方面得到充分的训练和提高。
设计大学英语课程应充分考虑听说能力的要求,并给予足够的学时和学分,应大量使用先进的信息技术,推进基于计算机和网络的英语软件教学,为学生提供良好的语言学习环境与条件。
对于使用计算机教学的课程,应有相应的面授辅导课时,学校应将面授辅导课时计入教师的教学工作量。
通过计算机学习完成的课程,并经考试合格,应计算学分。
设计大学英语课程要继承传统课堂教学中的优秀部分,特别是阅读、写作和翻译等课程,仍应继续采用课堂教学方式和鼓励优秀教师、特别是教授和名师讲授这些课程。
大学英语课程不仅是一门语言基础知识课程,也是拓宽知识,了解世界文化的素质教育课程。
因此,设计大学英语课程时也应充分考虑对学生的文化素质培养和国际文化知识的传授。
要尽可能地利用语言载体,让学生了解科学技术、西方社会文化等知识。
要强调通过大量的自主阅读来提高词汇量和增加知识。
无论是主要基于计算机的听说课程,还是主要基于课堂教学的读写译课程,其设置都要充分体现个性化,考虑不同起点的学生,即既要照顾起点较低学生,又要给基础较好的学生有发展的空间;既能使学生打下扎实的语言基础,又要培养他们较强的实际应用能力尤其是听说写的能力;既要保证学生在整个大学期间的英语语言水平稳步提高,又要有利于学生个性化的学习,以满足他们各自不同的专业发展需要。
四、教学模式鉴于我国高校大学生人数迅速增长和可利用教育资源的相对有限,我们应当充分利用多媒体、网络技术发展带来的契机,采用新的教学模式改进原来的以教师讲授为主的单一课堂教学模式。
新的教学模式应以现代信息技术为支撑,特别是网络技术,使英语教学朝着个性化学习、不受时间和地点限制的学习、主动式学习方向发展。
新的教学模式应体现英语教学的实用性、文化性和趣味性融合的原则,应能充分调动教师和学生两个方面的积极性,尤其要确立学生在教学过程中的主体地位。
新教学模式在技术上应体现交互性、可实现性和易于操作性。
另外,新教学模式在充分利用现代信息技术的同时,也要充分考虑和合理继承现有教学模式中的优秀部分。
各校应根据自身的条件和学生情况,设计出适合本校情况的基于单机或局域网以及校园网的多媒体听说教学模式,有条件的学校也可直接在互联网上进行听说教学和训练。
读写译课程的教学既可在课堂进行,也可在计算机上进行。
但是,无论是计算机上学习,还是课堂学习,各校都应安排足够的教师进行指导或讲授。
教学模式改革成功的一个重要标志就是学生个性化学习方法的形成和学生自主学习能力的发展。
新模式应允许学生随时随地选择适合自己需要的材料进行学习,应能够完成传统课堂上无法完成的听说训练,能够随时记录、了解、检测学生的学习情况以及教师的教学与辅导情况,从而能督促学生积极学习,促使学生的英语听说能力与其他实用能力有一个较快提高。
为促进教学模式的有效改革,各校应加大学生通过计算机学习英语课程学时和学分数比例。
建议学生在计算机上学习所获学分的比例应占英语学习总学分的30-50%。
教学模式的改变不仅仅是教学活动或教学手段的转变,而是教学理念的转变,是实现从以教师为中心、单纯传授语言知识和技能的教学模式,向以学生为中心、既传授一般的语言知识与技能,更加注重培养语言运用能力和自主学习能力的教学模式的转变。
具体实施可参考附件一:《基于计算机和课堂的英语多媒体教学模式》。
