摘要
Advanced English (Zhang & Wang, 1997) is one of the main Intensive English Reading textbooks used in China for English majors. As it is 'Advanced English', it certainly has brought some difficulties to our teaching. Some teachers feel it hard to teach the book in a communicative approach and so most of the time in class, the teacher talks. Even if there are questions and answers in class, they are often dull and passive, not dynamic. Consequently, the class gets so boring that students think the book impractical and useless. To be a successful teacher of Advanced English , I think we should have some clear and specific focuses in our teaching to ensure the communicative approach. This paper exemplifies the application of the effective focuses in order to evoke instructional conversation and exchange of ideas and emotions through language.
《高级英语》是目前在中国高校英语专业使用的英语精读主要教材之一。由于它是"高级英语",必然给我们教学带来一定的难度。有些教师觉得很难用交际法教这本书,所以他们课堂的大部分时间是一言堂,即使课堂上有一些问与答,经常也是乏味被动的,没有动力;以致学生觉得这本书不切合实际,学而无用。要想成为一名成功的《高级英语》教师,作者认为,在教学中应有明确重点,以便交际法的进行。本文就引起教学交谈和通过语言进行思想和感情交流的重点,结合作者的实际教学进行举例说明。
