英语专业外刊阅读课程改革初探

Organic Construction Methodology in Teaching of the Course of Foreign Newspaper and Magazines Reading

自2004年高校英语专业八级考试(TEM-8)的新大纲出台并于次年付诸实施以来,占考试分值20%比重的阅读理解部分受到教师及考生的高度关注。新考纲的要求,不仅明确了英美报刊杂志中新闻类文章阅读的重要性,亦是明确了英语专业外刊阅读课程的重要性,对传统的阅读教学模式提出了新的挑战。在新形势下,基于有机建构教学法的外刊阅读课程的改革值得一试。

With 20% in the proportion of the test score,reading comprehension has never been more emphasized by both the teachers and students since the new syllabus of TEM-8 was introduced in 2004 and implemented in 2005,in which the importance of news articles in British and American newspapers and magazines as well as the significance of the course for English majors are equally stressed. Confronted with the new challenge,the reform of the course of foreign newspaper and magazines reading based on the Organic Construction Methodology is worth a try.
