中级英语写作教学大纲

外语系英语写作基础课程教学大纲（学时： 36 学分： 2 ）一、程名称及课程编号课程名称：英语写作基础（Basic English Writing） 课程编号：32201 二、课程对象：高职二年级学生三、开设时间高职二年级第一学期, 每周2课时，总课时为36。四、学要求及内容：教学要求：二年级第一学期以句子、段落训练为主。学生应掌握句子的结构和成分，掌握段落的写作方法和框架结构，并在实践的基础上学会确立主题、选择素材，并培养强烈的修辞意识，为将来篇章写作打下良好基础。通过训练，学生应能在30分钟内写出长度在120-150个字词左右的段落。基本无明显的语法错误，内容切题，条理清楚，语言运用基本得体。教学内容：中级英语写作以谴词造句的基本功训练为基础，着重讲述了英语段落的写作方法。内容共四个部分。第一部分主要讲解句子的写作，通过训练如何写好简单句、复合句、并列句、并列复合句四种句子，主要要求学生掌握以主谓宾为框架的句子结构、从属结构和平行结构等写作句式。第二部分主要讲解段落的基本结构、展开途径、写好段落的几个要求以及如何达到这几项要求的方法。段落一般包括主题句、正文和结尾句三部分。段落可以以描写人或物为切入点来展开；可以举例子来说明主题；可以给人或物归类、或者通过类比或者对比的手法来使读者对写作对象达到更清楚的认识；可以分析事件的因果关系；可以通过下定义的方法将某个概念阐述清楚。明白了如何展开段落，就可以对段落进行修改和润色。写好段落必须要注意统一性、连贯性这两个原则。段落的统一性指的是段落必须只有一个中心思想，不能有两个或多个；段落中的所有细节和例子必须为这一个中心思想服务，否则应该删去。段落的连贯性指的是段落中的细节和例子逻辑清楚、过渡自然、语势连贯，读起来不突兀、不拗口。这可以通过用过渡词、重复重点词或词组以及近意词等手段达到这样的效果。这是本部分的重点，学生通过模仿好的句子和段落，训练逻辑思维能力和写作语感等方法提高写作技能。第三部分和第四部分分别是常见错误的修改和实用写作。常见错误的修改贯穿学期的始末，实用写作作为学生的自修内容不与讲解。五、教材使用教材：谭志明，姜登桢. 中级英语写作M. 西安：陕西旅游出版社， 2004Tan, Zhiming, and Jiang Dengzhen, chief eds.
