英美报刊课教学探讨

On the Teaching of British & American Journalistic Reading Course

作为英语专业一门重要的专业课,英美报刊课需要明确的定位与目标。在此基础上,该课程在教学理念与方法上既应遵循阅读课的普适规律,更应考虑其新闻文体的特质以及课程自身特点。在当今数字时代,新闻时效性与读者相关性决定了该课程的网络化以及学生自主学习的必要性。

As a major English program course for Chinese college students, British ＆ American Journalistic Reading calls for a clear positioning and course objective. Furthermore, this course should follow the general practice applied for all reading courses in teaching methodology and also pay more attention to the journalistic genre and its own course features. At the present digital age, timeliness and reader relevance make it imperative for the course to be Web-assisted and the student to apply autonomous learning to the course.
