根据《高等学校英语专业英语教学大纲》培养目标要求,高等院校英语专业要培养具有扎实的基本功、宽广的知识面、一定的相关专业知识、有较强适应能力、应变能力、自主能力和良好身心素质的复合型英语人才。在基础阶段的英语教学完成以后,必须继续进行更高一级的英语阅读教学。高级英语课程是英语专业基础阶段综合英语课程在高层次上的延续,是一门训练学生阅读理解、语法修辞与写作能力的综合英语技能课程,是一门专业必修课。

顺应时代和社会的要求,我系高年级综合英语教研组在总结传统教学经验、在探索新的教学理念、学习现代教育技术的基础上,以语言教学理论和多媒体网络教学技术理论为基础,以更新教学内容和手段、重组教学结构为出发点,大力改革高级英语课堂教学模式,把课堂教学和多媒体网络技术相结合,寻求以学生为中心的互动性、协作性、个性化的高年级综合英语教学模式。学生通过多媒体课堂教学、课后自主学习,巩固和深化语言基础知识、提高词义辨析能力,扩大词汇量,阅读和分析涉及政治、经济、社会、语言、文学、教育、哲学等方面的名家作品,扩大知识面,加深对社会和人生的理解;培养学生对名篇分析和欣赏能力,逻辑思维与独立思考能力,使学生增强对文化差异的敏感性;初步了解各种修辞手段和各种写作技巧;使学生能够熟悉常用的文学、科技等词汇;并引发学习者对社会、历史、科学和文化等重大问题的自我思考能力,全面发展学生的语言技能、思辨能力、赏析能力、解决问题的能力,从而培养学生的语言综合运用能力,提高其自主学习、持续学习的能力。
