《大学英语课程教学要求》 (2007)
● 大学英语的教学目标是培养学生的英语综合能力，特别是听说能力。。。使他们。。。能用英语有效地进行交际，同时增强其自主学习能力，提高综合文化素养。。。
● 新的教学模式应体现英语教学实用性、知识性和趣味性相结合的原则，有利于调动教师和学生两个方面的积极性，尤其要体现学生在教学过程中的主体地位和教师在教学过程中的主导作用。
● 教学模式改革的目的之一是促进学生个性化学习方法的形成和学生自主学习能力的发展。
Teaching Objectives
分类指导 因材施教
《课程要求》基本出发点：教学重心要转向学习者，要能够 学生的需求
由于交大学生入校时就有较好的英语应用能力，所以我们希望通过一至两年的系统训练，在听说读写方面大部分学生能达到《大学英语课程要求》中较高要求的水平， 15% 到20% 左右的学生能达到最高要求。
《大学英语课程教学要求》 (2007)
能基本读懂英语国家大众性报刊杂志上一般性题材的文章，阅读速度为每分钟 70~90 词。在快速阅读篇幅较长、难度适中的材料时，阅读速度达到每分钟 120 词。能阅读所学专业的综述性文献，并能正确理解中心大意，抓住主要事实和有关细节。
能读懂有一定难度的文章，理解其主旨大意及细节，能阅读国外英语报刊杂志上的文章，能比较顺利地阅读所学专业的英语文献和资料。
较高要求 更高要求
阅读理解
《大学英语课程教学要求》 (2007)
能基本上就一般性的主题表达个人观点，能写所学专业论文的英文摘要，能写所学专业的英语小论文，能描述各种图表，能在半小时内写出不少于 160 词的短文，内容完整，观点明确，条理清楚，语句通
顺。
能用英语撰写所学专业的简短的报告和论文，能以书面形式比较自如地表达个人的观点，能在半小时内写出不少于 200 词的说明文或议论文，思想表达清楚，内容丰富，文章结构清晰，逻辑性强。
较高要求 更高要求
书面表达
问题与思考：读写重要性不能削弱！
听说训练量得以增强，但学生自学阅读的效果到底如何？如何做有效跟踪？
阅读课上对词汇和语言点的梳理如何摆脱程式化的讲解，如何加强学生的应用意识？
如何在读写练习中加强趣味性？
如何利用网络平台多开展写作活动？ 如何给学生的写作做有效的反馈，而非仅仅给个分数或等级？ 利用网络平台的 peer editing 是否是增强写作能力的有效方式？ 如何有效实现读写一体化的教学模式？
建构主义理论的启示
知识并非是主体对客观现实被动的镜面式反应 , 而是一个主动的建构过程。学习不是简单的行为主义的 S-R( 刺激 - 反应 ) 的过程 , 而是新旧经验之间双方的相互作用过程。

Q-A (for Part 1) What is Chaplin’s childhood like? Could you figure
out some adjectives to describe it. (e.g. miserable, unfortunate, sad…/ Why?)
There is an old English proverb “ Spare the rod, spoil the child.” To what extent do you agree with it?
Many people hold the belief that poverty and hardships produce incentive to achieve something important. How do you view it? Give some examples.
Q-A
(for Part 2) Why did Chaplin win greater popularity in other countries than in his own country, Britain?
Possibly because he left Britain when he was young and never came back; most figures he created were not of a gentleman-like British style.
Q-A (for Part 3)Give examples to show Chaplin’s deep need to be loved and
his fear of being betrayed. We can find that from the characters he created, such
as the flower girl and the French wife killer.

Although I love movies, I’ve found that there are drawbacks to movie-going. One problem is just the inconvenience of it all. It can take me long time to drive to the theater and find a parking spot. Another problem is my lack of self-control at the theater. I often stuff myself with unhealthy calorie-laden snacks for the limited choices. The worst problem is some of the other movie-goers. Kids run up and down the aisle. It’s noisy and messy in the theater. All in all, I would ratherstay home and watch TV comfortably.
