外贸英语函电课程总结

《外贸英语函电》课程总结 《外贸英语函电》课程是国际贸易专业的必修课程,本课程系统讲述了外贸英语函电中常用文体的基本知识,并详细讲解了外贸业务磋商过程中各个环节往来函电的实例。本人从事该课程的教学三年,现做课程总结。 一、教学目标 通过外贸英语函电的学习,应当让学生达到以下要求:(1)通过阅读和学习介绍外贸交易业务过程中的章节,了解并熟悉外贸进出口业务的关键步骤;(2)重点掌握外贸业务信函的撰写要点,初步做到能再一般情况下写出内容确切、表达得体、符合规范、语句通顺、没有语法错误的信函(由于现代化的信息传送方式如传真的撰写和普通信函相似,故以掌握信函撰写为重点);(3)了解外贸业务过程中的相关术语,包括交易条件和环境。(4)让学生了解业务信函的趋向,并学习电传、传真、邮件的有关知识及写法 二、教学方法 本课程采用多媒体教学,根据国贸专业学生英语的实际情况,采用不同的方法,提高教学质量,保证教学目标的实现。在教学过程中,我先后采用学生朗读、分组翻译、角色扮演等方法。同时,为了帮助学生复习和巩固所学知识,提高学生们的学习兴趣,定期使用经典欧美歌曲、经典电影片段等影像资料。 三、教学过程 基于“学生为本”的思想和理念,本课程的教学过程设计为:单词句式教学、函电教学、集中练习。单词句式部分,首先,跟读单词和词汇,并让同学们课后进行熟读熟记;其次,课堂听写,检验学生们的记忆情况;最后,结合经典英语歌曲,对重点词句进行强化,同时提高学生们的学习兴趣,营造轻松的学习氛围。在函电教学阶段,采用分组学习与教师重点讲解结合的方法,提高学生学习的自主性。提前布置函电,每组完成朗读、翻译两项任务,然后,对于学生朗读和翻译中存在的问题,进行及时纠正,并对重点用语和词汇进行讲解。集中练习阶段,主要是书写函电和完成课后习题。 四、学情分析 10国贸三个班级,分两班教学,即:10国贸1班和10国贸2、3班。总体上来看,大部分同学都能按照老师的教学方法和过程进行学习,效果也不错。10国贸1班情况好于其他班级,这个班级同学英语基础好,好学上进。国贸2班和3班基本上能按照课堂要求进行,总体还可以,但是部分同学记不住单词和用语,这可能与学习用功程度有关。三个班级同学课后作业都能按时完成,质量可以得到保证。在教学过程中,角色扮演环节,每个班级每组同学都能按照要求进行,用英语进行对话。应该说,教学过程都很顺利,教学目标基本达到。 五、考试分析 上学期,在外贸英语函电课程考试中,10国贸1班通过率87.5%,10国贸2班76%,10国贸3班的通过率率是66%。总体来看,外贸英语函电教学达到了教学目标的要求,国

外贸函电心得体会

外贸函电心得体会 篇一:函电学习心得体会 心得体会 一个学期的函电学习很快就结束了,在这短短的一学期时间里我觉得学到了很多。在学习前英语就不是很好,不知道该如何组织和使用各种优美、恰当的英文词句来很好地完成一篇英文信函,信函中的一些语言明明是我们在生活中常常接触到的,但是就是不知道怎样把它们翻译成比较恰当或优美的英文,我觉得在信函中应用一些比较优美很恰当的句子是很重要的,如果是初次建立关系会给别人一个比较好的第一印象,会让对方觉得你专业、有内涵,也让对方更加相相信你方的实力。 在学习中遇到了不少问题,首先是对课本知识掌握得不够,在写信函的过程中很难写出一个比较好的句子,所以只好参照课本的句式和一些比较好的专业词句。其次,因为所有的信函都是用英文写的,跟以前的英语学习有很大的不同,所以一开始速度有点慢,感觉很难写出来一篇完整的规范的信函。这次学习对我们的英文水平也是一个很大的考验,如果英文水平比较高的话,写信函的时候就会觉得比较容易。这次学习也是对外贸专业知识的掌握情况的一个检验。外贸信函跟我们平时写的中文信件之间是有差别的,中文信件只

有一种布局,而外贸信件有多种布局比如有缩行式、齐头式等等,写信件的时候要特别注意不要把各种信件布局混淆。还有要注意组织好信函的句式,选择比较好的词句,尽量使对方在阅读你的信件时能感到愉悦,给对方留个好印象。同时要明确指出你方来函的目的,要把关键内容表述清楚。 在这一学期的时间里,我掌握了更多书写英文信函的技巧,学到很多适合运用到外贸信函中的英文词句以及一些外贸专业术语。我明白了要写出一篇好的外贸函电,需要多方面的积累,比如外贸专业知识的掌握程度、英语水平的高低、语言组织能力的高低等等。所以还有很多知识、技能等着我去学习。 篇二:外贸函电实训心得体会 外贸函电实训心得 随着我国市场经济体制的逐步完善和对外开放的不断扩大,我国经济将完全融入世界经 济体系之中。而教育水平的高低与经济的发展密切相关。作为我国高等教育的全新组成部分, 职业教育应确立怎样的培养目标来适应时代要求,已成为人们普遍关心的问题。高等职业教 育的培养目标,主要强调能力的培养和技术的应用,他要求我们的教育能够不断造就基本功
