第一版前言

为了适应高职高专英语专业人才培养模式和课程体系改革的形势，满足高职高专英语专业口语

教学的迫切需要，根据教育部高等学校高职高专英语类专业教学指导委员会关于《高等学校高职高

专英语专业目录》的精神，结合高职高专英语专业口语的教学实际，我们组织编写了高职高专英语

专业立体化系列教材之一《英语口语教程》，供广大高职高专英语专业师生教学使用。

《英语口语教程》每一个环节的设计均围绕基于任务的各种活动展开, 充分体现了口语教学中以

学习者为中心以及在语言使用中习得口语表达技能的教学理念。本书编写原则如下：

1. 实用为主，够用为度。本书在选材内容和难度上紧扣高职高专英语专业培养目标，以实用为

主，够用为度。每单元的主题均来源于学生的学习和日常生活，编者适当控制了材料的难度，以便

适合高职高专学生使用。

2. 突出语言的交际功能。本书在编写中突出语言的交际功能，反映语言的习得性、交际性、社

会性、人文性和教育性等特征。每单元选取真实的交际内容，提供真实的交际环境和交际任务供学

生练习使用。

3. 内容体现时代性。本书单元结构合理，脉络清晰，符合语言学习规律。所选素材新颖，注重

培养学生搜寻、接收和处理英语信息的能力。

4. 注重交互性和策略性。本书中的单元模块力图体现策略训练的理念，力图帮助学生克服语言

学习的心理障碍，尽快掌握口语交际策略。

《英语口语教程》的编写采用“基础＋专业”的模式，其中基础英语口语教程两册、商务英语

口语教程一册，旅游英语口语教程一册，各册既相互独立又相互联系，分别供商务英语专业和旅游

英语专业学生三个学期使用。

本套教材每册十个单元，每单元涉及一个主题，包括四个模块。

第一个模块为热身模块（Breaking the Ice）。这一模块从情景对话入手，提供了与单元主题相关

的功能训练和语用能力练习，帮助学生说出正确又得体的英语。

iii

第二个模块为体验模块（Experiencing）。该模块为单元的核心模块，包括两项任务。任务一提

供了两篇对话，要求学生在熟悉角色内容的基础上和同伴进行表演。任务二为看图描述任务，以图

片为信息输入途径，重在培养学生“说”的产出环节。该模块主要训练学生的模仿、表演、观察、

描述与表达等能力。

第三个模块为拓展模块（Developing）。该模块是单元核心模块的辅助模块，包括两项任务。任

务一为卡片设计，该任务旨在帮助学生掌握口语表达策略。任务二为娱乐环节，是学生了解、对比

中西方文化的窗口。主要内容涵盖英语歌曲、短剧、电影、演讲及诗歌等，素材经典、新颖、趣味

性强，旨在培养学生的语言学习兴趣和语言鉴赏能力，激发学生的学习积极性。

第四个模块为实战模块（Sharpening）。该模块同样包括两项任务，是培养学生真实交际的应用

型模块，其中任务一针对学生平时常用但容易出现失误的语用知识，提供了专项训练，目的在于夯

实学生的语用基础。任务二安排了一个对话情景，要求学生自编自演，旨在培养学生的实际应用能

力和创新意识。

《英语口语教程》由山东水利职业学院杨登新和苏州工业园区职业技术学院陈素花担任总主编。

本书为第二册，由山东日照职业技术学院郑艳担任主编，副主编为丁肇芬、林晓琴和彭丽。孙

德常、张学芳、 黎莉、卫雪娟和金玲慧等参加编写。

上海外国语大学梅德明教授审阅了本书并提出了许多宝贵意见。英籍专家Victor Anabela 和 Mike

Angelides审阅了本书部分内容并提出了建议。在此，编者一并表示衷心感谢。

《英语口语教程》是我们在高职高专英语专业课程建设方面所做的一次尝试，其中难免有不当

和疏漏之处，敬请使用者批评指正。

with your partner what it shows. Try to draw another one in your own way.

PART II Experiencing

Task 1 Act It Out The following two conversations are about language learning experiences.

Practice them with your partner.

Conversation 1

Interviewer: How helpful did you fi nd mind mapping in understanding the story?

Student: With the help of mind mapping, I could remember the story well. It was

interesting to do this.

Interviewer: How did you construct your mind map for language learning? Was it diffi cult?

Student: When we did mind mapping, the teacher asked us to write down some information.

It started with “motivation,” “attitude,” “method,” “practice” and so on. We

drew our own mind map.

Interviewer: How helpful did you fi nd mind mapping in planning your writing task then?

It is easy to open a shop but hard to keep it always open. 创业容易守业难。

Student: I learned a lot from the mind mapping for language learning. I wrote about

my motivation in the fi rst paragraph, my attitudes in the second paragraph,

and my learning methods in the third.

Conversation 2

A: You say that you can speak many languages?

B: Well, I once studied a little French at school, but I’ve forgotten most of it now. I learned

some Russian while studying in Russia and now I’m studying Spanish in evening classes.

A: You mention that you speak Japanese at home with your parents?

B: Yes, I do. I’m also learning Chinese now on the Internet.

A: What do you think about studying a language on the Internet?

B: It’s not easy, particularly with listening and speaking, because sometimes the connection is

not good enough.

A: I bet you fi nd Chinese characters diffi cult to write!

B: Actually, many of the characters are similar in both Chinese and Japanese, so they are

easy for me.

A: So, you can read and write much better than you speak and understand other speakers,

right?

B: Yes.

A: How are your Spanish classes going?

B: In a way, it’s similar to the experience of learning Chinese. Some Spanish words are

similar to English ones, but I need to practice listening to native speakers and saying the

words myself.

Imagination is more important than knowledge. 想象力比知识更为重要。
