摘要
Despite the great effort that textbook writers make to meet the needs of the intended users,it is frequently necessary for teachers to adapt textbooks when they are actually used in the classroom.At present,there are no separate writing textbooks and courses for non-English majors in colleges.Instructions on how to write,as well as writing activities,are usually inadequate in the textbooks used by non-English majors.As a result,to make the teaching of writing more efficient and interesting,it is necessary for English teachers to adapt textbook activities and design new activities,which should be process-oriented and communicative. New College English is a textbook widely used by non- English majors.This essay takes one unit of the book as an example,to demonstrate the necessity of adapting the writing tasks in the book and show how to design new activities to supplement the textbook writing tasks.
尽管教材的编写者尽力满足教材使用者的各种需要,但是教师在使用教材的时候往往需要根据具体需求对教材实施更改。目前,大学非英语专业的学生没有独立的英语写作教材,现有的英语教材一般没有提供充足的有关如何写作的指导以及多样的写作活动。因此,为了使写作教学更加有效和有趣,教师可以更改现有教材的写作部分并设计出更以学生为中心,注重写作过程和更具交际性的课堂活动。《新编大学英语》是一本广为非英语专业学生使用的教材。本文以这套书的一个单元为例,探讨更改教材上的写作活动的必要性以及如何设计新的活动来充实写作教学。
