培养学习者的英语写作能力是外语教学的核心内容之一。写作是一种语言输出活动,最能体现学习者综合应用语言的能力,要求学习者具备熟练的词汇和语法知识、一定的想象力和较强的逻辑思维能力以及语言组织能力。随着国际间交流与合作的日益增加,中国与外界的交往日趋频繁,国家和社会对大学生的英语应用能力提出了更迫切的要求,用英语写作的重要性已经得到广泛认同。
《大学英语写作教程》以大学非英语专业本科生为主要对象,以《大学英语教学大纲》(修订本)(2004)和《大学英语课程教学要求》(试行)(2004)为基本依据,突出英语写作的趣味性和可操作性。针对非英语专业学生在写作中存在内容贫乏、结构松散、句子单一、词汇不足等突出的实际问题,本书采取话题式的导入法,抛弃传统的写作知识直接输入法,将极大地激发学生的写作兴趣;采取过程教学法逐步完善和提高学生写作的篇章能力;针对每一个主题提供的表达方法和词汇也能促进学生语言表达的突飞猛进。每一章节在论述写作方法的基础上,提供了范文分析和课堂练习,还配有一些常用词组和写作技巧,既便于教师课堂使用,又便于学生自学参考。总之,这本教材从一个崭新的角度,采用了新型的教学方法和写作思路,必将有效地提高大学非英语专业学生的英语写作水平。
