本系列教材是对《英语》进行了第二次修订后推出的第三版。本版对全书进行了内容调整、补充和不足处的修改,增加交际听说会话训练量,既保持了原来的实用科学性,又增加了更多的实用交际性内容和与时俱进的材料,使学生在听说读写译5方面全面学习。
《英语》(非英语专业专科用)(以下简称《英语》)系列教材是教育部全国成人高等教育规划、教材。《英语》共4册,每册包括主教材(即《英语》)、自学同步教材(即《英语学习辅导书》)和方便教师授课的《英语教师参考书》。《英语》第1册为预备教材,词汇量起点为800,主要帮助英语水平较低的入学新生盘活中学学过的基本语音、语法和词汇,为进一步学习和提高打下基础。第2册着重简单句的基本语法和听说读写译技能的训练与培养,注意将简单句融入涉外职场交际场景之中,使语言基本功训练和实际使用英语去进行涉外职场交际能力的培养结合起来。第3册和第4册在巩固和提高语言和语法能力的同时,加深对涉外职场交际阅读、翻译和套写能力的训练,着重培养和提高学生使用英语进行涉外职场交际的能力。
此系列教材自1998年第一版问世以来,根据各方反馈意见不断改进,在2006年修订形成了第二版。第二版首先将全书的单元编排进行了较大调整,由全书20个单元精简合并为10~12个单元。各单元内部的修订主要涉及4个方面:1.将语法调整为“语法复习”(Pick Up Your Grammar)练习,放在单元的最后;2.加编了语法附录(Grammar),附在《英语学习辅导书》里,使学生可以根据个人需要有选择地进行复习;3.在每单元后增加了词汇表,便于学生系统、完整地学习每个单元的词汇用法;4.在第5或第6单元和第10或第12单元后增加了两套依据所学内容编写的自测题,供学生自我检测学习成果。
由于时代在不断发展,教学内容也要与时俱进。第二版在发行6年后,有些内容已不能完全适应高科技时代的发展和国家对外全面开放的需求。因此,在2012年,《英语》又推出了第三版。第三版在保留深受使用院校广大师生欢迎的教材的基本框架和针对人才市场对涉外职场英语交际需求的特点的基础上,更有针对性地更新了部分课文和相应练习。第三版仍为4册,即《英语》(1-4),每册3本,分别为《英语》、《英语学习辅导书》和《英语教师参考书》。
