八、总体教学要求：英语语法是英语专业的专业必修课，使用教材为章振邦编著的《新编英语语法教程》，由上海外语教育出版社出版。

该课程帮助学生比较系统地了解分析英语语法的方法，使他们认识、了解英语口语和书面语的区别以及从词到句再至语篇的构造。

通过对各个语法层次，即词素、词、词组、分句和句子的系统认识和分析，提高学生使用英语的规范性以及传递信息、表达思想的准确性和逻辑性。

由于学生在中学阶段已经了解、掌握了相当的语法知识，本课程不求面面俱到，而是有所侧重。

通过一学期的学习，本课程旨在进一步提高学生实际运用英语的能力，为后来的学习和研究英语语言、文学奠定基础。

讲授之前对学生进行测试以便确定教学的重点，其他的由学生自己学习掌握，教师会通过练习检测学生的学习情况。

除了教材上的练习（课堂上做一部分；布置课后做一部分；其余学生自行处理），学生要完成的作业还包括课后的写作、翻译、课堂上的小组讨论、相互改错等活动，通过对语法知识的实际运用促进他们对英语语言结构的理解和掌握。

所有课内、课外作业和小组活动的参与各占平时成绩的一半比分。

平时成绩占总成绩的30%。

期末考试为笔试，除了对语法点的测试，着重考核学生对知识理解和运用，此类测试所占比例一般不少于50%。
