张庆宗、胡德香主编的《新编综合英语》高级阶段共4册,本册为第3册,供师范院校英语专业四年级上学期使用。
本册由12个单元组成。每个单元包含2篇课文(Reading 1&Reading 2)与5大板块(Schema Building,Information Surfing,Text Understanding,LanguageBuilding&Teacher Awareness)。各板块的安排如下:Schema Building——激活已知,调动兴趣。;Information Surfing——信息分享,锻炼交际能力;Text Understanding——分层理解,提升认知能力;Language Building——综合训练;Teacher Awareness——教学训练。
鉴于学生在第八学期要参加专业八级考试的情况,本册专门增加了CapacityDevelopment板块,按国家、文学、语言学等分类,介绍各国的历史文化及语言文学常识,以选择题的形式出现,旨在帮助学生巩固人文知识。此外,本册翻译练习也采取段落而非句子形式,和八级要求保持一致。因此,紧扣专八考试是本册的最大亮点与独特之处。
