实用艺术英语(第二版)
《实用艺术英语》采用单元式教学,即每个单元所选的两篇课文从不同角度和层面上对同一专题展开讨论。全书共10个单元,内容涉及音乐、舞蹈、绘画、服装、建筑、电影、动画、时尚、摄影和戏剧。每个单元由5大板块组成,分别是准备活动(Focus on the Topic)、词汇学习(Vocabulary Study)、课文(Reading One & Reading Two)、任务驱动(Task -Driven Practice)和小测试(Achievement Test)。具体使用说明如下:
(1)准备活动(Focus on the Topic)部分设置了三个与主题相关的问题,以训练学生的口头表达能力,引导学生进入相关主题的学习。
(2) 词汇学习(Vocabulary Study) 部分是针对Reading One中的核心词汇设计的练习。此部分包括三种题型,分别是连线题、词形转换题以及选词填空题,难度逐步加大,以帮助学生掌握核心词汇并且降低学习课文的难度。可安排一节课来完成此部分的学习。
(3)课文( Reading One & Reading Two)部分含有 2篇与本单元专题相关的文章。第一篇以训练学生的阅读理解能力为目标,并配有相关练习以检测学生的理解情况。第二篇以扩大学生知识面并提高学生写作能力为目标,配备相关的写作训练(含翻译句子、句子排序、小作文练习)。从句子、段落到文章,由浅入深,由易到难。可安排三节课来完成此部分的学习。
(4)任务驱动( Task-Driven Practice)部分包含 2个板块。第一个板块是一篇 100~200字的小短文多与相关职业领域有关。学生从中学习专业词汇并将短文中的信息归纳填表,可以获取相关工作岗位的信息。第二个板块培养交际能力,提供两个对话、两个场景以及一组学生进行相互问答的 10个小问题。此部分可以安排在两篇课文学习之间来完成,可安排两节课。
(5)小测试(Achievement Test)部分含有四个题型。单选题及选词填空题考查词汇及语法知识,阅读理解题考查阅读能力,翻译题考查写作能力。可安排一节或两节课来完成;也可由学生课后自主完成。测试题目在本书配套的资源包里面。
