本书立足于选择国外原汁原味的文章,注重在文章中渗透体育元素,让课文的内容贴近学生的生活和专业学习,激发他们的学习热情;同时,考虑到国外原版文章的语言过难,我们又邀请了外籍专家进行了精心改写,使课文既保持原貌特色又具有可读性、可教性和可学性;针对体育术科专业学生活泼、外向的特点,我们在课文教学的多个环节设计了丰富多彩的活动,让他们在轻松愉快的氛围中学习英语,真正能在模拟的语言环境中习得语言,加强他们的语言交际能力;针对体育术科专业学生形象思维发达、抽象思维相对较弱的特点,我们在语法学习中没有过多地罗列语法规则,而是给出大量例句,有的还配了图片,让学生在语言实例中感知语言,同时也锻炼了学生的自学能力,培养学生良好的学习习惯。可供各大专院校作为教材使用,也可供从事相关工作的人员作为参考用书使用。
