美国著名的语言习得专家Stephen Krashen在他的可理解性输入假设中特别强调足够的、可理解的输入(
Comprehensible
Input)是成功语言习得的前提和保证。同时,要让学习者能够自觉地、自由地阅读——自愿、愉快地接触、接收这些可理解性的输入,输入的内容——阅读材料,应该具有适当的挑战性,且能够与学习者的生活阅历、知识结构和认知能力保持和谐的统一。以上正是《研究生名师名课名作丛书:研究生英语综合教程》主要的编写理念。教材的主题如:如何对待失败和培养对社会的责任感(J.K.Rowling的演讲);保持好奇心、实现充实的人生(Steve
Jobs的演讲);如何成功地处理好人际关系(Dale Carnegie关于批评和感恩);人生的经历对一个人的影响(Gordon Mac
Donald对Steve
Jobs的成长经历及其性格的形成)等,每一个主题都可以引发学习者深刻的反思、中西文化的对比,促进批判性思维的培养。同时,《研究生名师名课名作丛书:研究生英语综合教程》希望通过每一篇短文的阅读和学习,将学习者的兴趣引向更多的英文原版著作和学习资源,培养终身学习、阅读的习惯,才是学习者提高和保持较高英语水平的有效途径。In
the first thirty years of life,you make habits.and in the next
thirty years of life, habits make you.(Hindus proverb)。
《研究生名师名课名作丛书:研究生英语综合教程》是在教学实践中为非英语专业研究生编写的,同样适应于具有相应的英语水平、生活阅历的大学本科生或英语爱好者使用。
