英语听力教学大纲
《英语听力》课程教学大纲 第一部分听力阶段 一、课程性质、课程目标与教学要求 听力课是英语教学中四项基本技能之一也是中国学生的一个难点。突破这个难关不仅有助于其它单项技能的训练同时也为培养学生的英语交际能力奠定一个良好的基础。听力课是英语专业的基础课目的是系统地训练和培养学生的英语视听和说的能力并在四年之通过专业四、八级考试。视听说能力是语言交际必不可少的手段之一也是中学教学中课堂教学的重要部分。因此培养具有一定听说能力并能用英语作为课堂教学语言的合格中学教师和相当水准的英语翻译人才是学院英语专业听力课程教学目的之所在。听力课是一门综合了语音、词汇、语法、惯用法、背景知识、记忆以及概括能力的学科它要求学生通过这门课的学习增长语言知识提高语言技能以及扩大知识面。听力课不同于书面语教学它要求学生注意力集中养成良好听力习惯提高英语语感包括音的辨别、句子结构的分析、容的判断乃至短期和长期记忆的提高等。 二、关于教材与学习参考书的建议 本课程所使用教材 1、 Listen This Way Book I II III IV 2、《听力教程》第一、二、三、四册主要参考书 1、《八级听力训练》. 2、《VOA听力教程》。 3、《BBC听力教程》 4、《托福听力基础教程》 5、《英语专业四级听写与听力理解》6、《TOEFL听力模考题精选》 7、《初级Listen to This》、《中级Listen to This》Listen This Way 这套教材涉略广泛攘括了家庭教育、环境保护、儿童理财等方方面面。但该套教材难度梯度区分不大特别是第一册的教材对于大一的新生来说难度偏大所以教学进度得放慢此外教师应适当补充难度较适合学生的材料如《初级Listen to This》、《托福听力基础教程》以便培养学生的学习兴趣、树立学生的自信心。《听力教程》这套教材学生普遍反映太难且每单元的容量颇大较适合大二以上学生使用建议为学生订一套难度接近Listen This Way的课外补充教材。 三、课程教学容纲要 第一学期 Unit 1 Can I Take a Message I 2学时 Unit 2 Can I Take a Message II 2学时 Unit 3 Clear or Cloudy 2学时 Unit 4 Can time More Backward 2学时 Unit 5 Flying In and Out. 2学时 Unit 6 By Bus or By Train 2学时 Quiz Unit 7 This Way or That Way 2学时 Unit 8 Cash or Cheque 2学时 Unit 9 Toward Better Health I 2学时 Unit 10 Toward Better Health II 2学时 Mid-term Exam Unit 11 The Interview’s Eye 2学时 VOA Special English 2学时 VOA Special English 2学时
大学英语听力教程1答案 高中英语听力教学需要循序渐进
大学英语听力教程1答案高中英语听力教学需要循序渐进 听力是一种语言接受能力，只有多听多说，多做多练，积少成多，由易到难，循序渐进，方能逐步提高。听力教学很重要，应从学生实际出发，讲究方法技巧，循序渐进，方能水到渠。听力教学循序渐进教师学生听力在高考中占总分的1/5(江苏1/6)，听力的重要性由此可见一斑。但在实际教学中，一些教师往往对听力教学重视不够，只是利用早自习或午自习让课代表在班上放放录音带，然后对对答案，随意性较大，效果不明显，结果学生也对听力训练逐渐失去了兴趣，甚至感到厌烦。因此，如何上好听力课，解决听力教学中遇到的困难，提高学生的听力水平是我们每位英语教师应当深思的问题。某高中是一所普通的农村中学，生源较差，每年的录取线在当地最低，被戏称为“收容所”，考不取较好的高中的学生大多会选择这里，因此，不难想象该校的教学有多艰难了，做听力练习时，大多数学生就像听天书一样，云里雾里，不知所云。该校的高二〈2〉班和高二〈3〉班在刚进入高二时，是两个各方面状况基本相近的平行班。下面以两位教师在这两个班所上的听力课为例，谈一谈听力教学中存在的问题以及如何提高学生的听力水平。授课内容为牛津高中英语Module 5 Unit 2的Task板块中Skills building 1 (P32)。Guidelines 告诉学生如何根据所听信息得出结论并举两例。Part A是关于5种自然灾害的新闻报道，要求根据每个报道的描述说出灾害的名称。Part B是听一段较长的新闻报道，然后对书上的5个句子进行判断。案例1：高二〈2〉班，46人，老师首先带学生阅读guidelines 和例子，接着开始Part A ,读完要求后播放录音两遍，再让学生说出灾害名称，没有1个学生全部答对，只有10个学生答对3个，15个学生答对1个，其余学生表示根本听不懂，老师很着急，但还是很有耐心地又放了两遍录音，结果没太大改观，老师于是说出正确答案后便开始了Part B。这次，老师播放了三遍录音，每句都停顿一下，然后再让学生判断句子正误，结果只有7人答对2题，5人答对3题，5人答对1题，且有的是蒙对的，老师只好又放了两遍，可是效果依旧，老师很无奈，学生也显得烦躁，由于时间关系，老师
英语专科广外考试口语与听力经验及建议(广州)
大家好!我是2008年11月2日参加的广外考试.介绍一点个人经验及建议给大家吧!希望对大家有帮助 先说说广外吧！我是11/1下午到广州的，但因为我有亲威在广州，所以没有住旅馆.不过据朋友说，离广外不远的地方有个叫陈田村的，那里一晚上80元.是比较便宜的.如果你到广外考试，要早点订旅馆，因为考生多，而且大多数是外地的.如果晚了，有可能订不到.关于到广外的乘车路线，在考试前你可以上6684网,上面有乘车路线，你把它打印出来.带着去广外考试.这样方便些.我今年就是这样.广外离广州火车站不远，有9站路，车费是2元（无人售票）.所以要先准备好零钱哦.广外那个站叫外语学院.下车之后要往前走约100米，不用过马路.到时你就可以看到广东外语外贸大学几个字了. 再说口语.首先你先找到相应的考试教学楼及候考室（不是试室哦）.在那里找个位置随便坐上来，与别的同学聊聊天（用英语）.让自己早一点进入状态.我今年与一男生同坐，他的发音很不准，我一点都听不懂他说什么.后来就演变成基本上是我说，他听了.大约8：15分，会有老师进来给一张签到表你签.这个时候你要注意了，看看你的名排在第几，你的上一个与下一个是谁.因为这意味着你很有可能与她（他）成为PARTNER.今年考试是按姓氏排的.而且是从Z往上排的（这是我这个试室的排序方式，有的是从A开始排）.轮到你时，老师会叫你及你的PARTNER一起到教室外面的走郎上，那里会有老师分别发一张图给你及你的PARTNER.有一个为A，有一个为B.我今年拿到的图纸是关于垃圾食品的.就是讲越来越多的学校售物机出售健康食品，远离垃圾食品.其实说实话，售物机里售的那些东西英文名我基本上看不懂，我记得有个GREEN TEA.但下面一句英文写的内容大意是讲越来越多的学校售物机出售健康食品，远离垃圾食品.其实你全部看不懂都可以,但你一定要看懂那一句关键的提示性的英文.老师让你与你的PARTNER 5分种各看各的图纸,5分种后她就会收走,然后你们就在那里等,试室里的考生出来就可以进去考试. 接下来就进入试室正式开始考试了.进去后首先要有礼貌地说声GOOD MORNING.今年我说了,但我的PARTNER没有说.考试一开始,老师问了我一个问题:WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE TRAFFIC IN GUANZHOU? 说实话,我考前没有准备过任何问题.一问起这个问题,我全部是用自己的话说的.IN MY OPINION,AT FIRST, THEN, LAST.按照这样的顺序说的.说实话,这个问题我的PARTNER比我回答地要好,因为她是广州的.第二题就是给你一段文字,让你与你的PARTNER分A,B读.我这次考试,本来老师让我读A,可能是因为我没有听到,出于礼貌,我让我的PARTNER读A,我读B.这段文字会有5-10字左右的生词.不过不要紧,你要按照发音规则把它读出来.读时发音要清晰要准确.停顿要及时.我记得我PARTNER读完第三句后,我正准备读,老师让我停了,接下来进行第三部分考试.这时老师会将你们在走朗上看过的图纸再给你们.老师先将A图纸给我,要求描述图片中所发生的事情及我的评论.因为之前有准备过5分种,所以我说得很快.接下来老师将我的图纸给我的PARTNER.只给5秒锺给她准备.因为之前她没有看过我的图片,5秒锺时间又太短,她一下子说不出来.老师问了3次,CAN YOU START?在第三次,她才开始说.才说了一句,就不知说什么了.结果老师说停.然后把B图纸给她,让她描述图片上所发和的事情及她的评论.因为准备过,她说得还不错.只不过我完全没有听懂她说什么.后来老师又把她的图片给我,5秒锺准备,让我描述.我看了一下,就开始说了,其实我当时也时也理解错了.我说石油涨价了,司机们很生气,所以在打石油站的工作人员,后来120车来了.其实应该是石油涨价了,有司机看了就吓倒了,石油站的工作人员在把他抬上120车.说完这个这之后,老师就说:THIS IS THE END OF THIS EXAM. 然后我们就离开了.离开之后,我的PARTNER跟我说,有一个打了50分.她说她看到老师们在说.我的PARTNER 认为是我打了50分,因为第二部分朗读时,老师让我读A,我偏要让她读A. 不过现在成绩出来了,我的还不错,是个良好.我也不知道她考得怎样?基于此,建议大家最后一题,不论自己是完全看明了,还是没有看明,都一定要发表意见,不要不说话,那一题可是40分呀.

Unit1 our earth Audio Track 4-1-2/Audio Track 4-1-3 Blake: What are you working on, Mary? Mary: I’m finishing my paper. It’s due tomorrow, Blake. Blake: What’s the topic? Mary: It’s about Greenland. Blake: Greenland. Hmmm … that’s part of Canada, right? Mary: I think you need to study your world geography, Blake. Blake: Well, isn’t it near Canada? Mary: Yes, it’s off the coast of northeast Canada, but it’s part of Denmark. Blake: Oh, I didn’t know that. Well, what’s your paper about exactly? Mary: In my p aper, I answer the question “Is Greenland really green?” In other words, is Greenland covered by a lot of plants and trees? Blake: Is it? Mary: What do you think? Blake: Let’s see … Greenland is in the Arctic Circle —way up north. It’s cold, … so “Is Greenland really green?” I’d answer “probably not.” Mary: You’d be correct. It’s too cold there. In the north, a lot of the ground is frozen. The summers are short, so only the surface thaws. Blake: That sounds tough. Mary: It’s hard for the construction industry. It’s not easy to build in Greenland. Blake: It sounds so harsh. Why would anyone want to go there? Mary: There are big mountain ranges on the coasts. They’re great for hiking and outdoor sports. And there are lots of animals there. You can sometimes see whales swimming in the harbors. Blake: That sounds cool! OK, so if it’s not really a “green” place, why was it named “Greenland”? Mary: The first settlers wanted to attract other people. They gave it an attractive name. Audio Track 4-1-4/Audio Track 4-1-5 Jay: Come in here, Elise. You should see this show! Elise: What is it? Jay: It’s called “The Titanic of the Sky.” It’s about the Hindenburg, a great engineering feat. Elise: The Hindenburg … Jay: You know, that giant zeppelin that crashed in 1934. Thirty-five people died. Elise: Oh yeah, I remember now. It was flying from Germany to the United States. It crashed as it was landing. Jay: Right. It’s so funny looking, don’t you think? It doesn’t look anything like the airplanes we have today. Elise: Th at’s true. Why would people ride in a zeppelin anyway? It seems so dangerous. Jay: Well, some people called the Hindenburg “man’s greatest achievement in flight.” They thought it was safe, I guess. Elise: Who rode in it anyway? Jay: Mostly wealthy people. It accommodated between 30 and 40 passengers and crew. One person said it was like a “flying hotel.” Elise: It sounds pretty great.
