三、课程性质与教学目的
本课程为外国语学院英语专业技能必修课，旨在全面提高学生的听、说、读、写、译等各方面的能力，通过对学生进行全面、严格的基本技能训练，培养学生实际运用语言的能力，为进入高年级的学习打下扎实的专业基础，使学生朝着具有扎实的语言基本功、宽广的知识面、一定的相关专业知识、较强的能力和较高的素质的培养目标前进。 四、教学内容及要求
《综合教程》基础阶段共分四册，本册为其中第三册，供英语专业二年级第一学期使用。
第三册共有16个单元，每个单元由Text I、Text II和相关的练习构成。建议使用本书的教师在一周时间内完成一个单元的教学任务。 本册所有的课文都选自第一手英文资料，除原文偏长需要删节以及极个别冷僻词语需要替换外，一律保持原文的风貌，尽最大可能给学生提供原汁原味的英语语言素材。
本册课文内容广泛，涉及文化与教育、政治与经济、战争与和平、道德与伦理、婚姻与家庭、爱情与亲情、科技与生活、知识与智慧等主题，使学生在学习英语的同时，扩展个人视野，提高人文素养。
课文的排序一方面参照语言难度，遵循循序渐进的原则，同时还尽可能考虑课文主题和教学时段之间的关系。譬如，开学伊始，本册安排了回顾大学新生心路历程的课文，引导学生总结过去、展望未来，思考大学生活的真谛；“十一”国庆节前后，研读中国题材的文章能起到爱国主义教育的功能；圣诞、新年期间，安排了有关爱心、包容、谅解等温馨主题的文章。 本册练习种类较多，目的在于采取不同的方式提高学生的理解能力和应用能力。
与Text I相关的练习包括11个部分：Pre-reading questions；Text comprehension；Structural analysis of the text；Rhetorical features of the text；Vocabulary exercises；Grammar exercises；Translation exercises；Exercises for integrated skills；Oral activities；Writing practice；Listening exercises。
Pre-reading questions与课文的话题有关但不涉及课文的具体内容，起“热身”作用，引导学生进入本单元的主题。除了课本提供的问题外，教师也可以自行增加其他类似的问题。
Text comprehension设计的问题都与课文直接有关，其中既有对课文字面的、局部意义的理解，又有对课文的整体把握以及对内涵和寓意的理解，从而帮助学生在课文理解方面做到既见树又见林。
Structural analysis of the text着重课文的总体结构分析，使学生对课文的层次、话题的展开获得比较清晰的认识，从而提高学生的篇章意识。
Rhetorical features of the text讨论的是课文中比较突出的修辞手段及其文体
效果，目的在于培养学生灵活而得体地使用英语的能力。
Vocabulary exercises包含多个词汇练习，旨在通过多种练习形式帮助学生正确把握一些积极词汇的意义，拓展用法，熟练运用。
Grammar。exercises挑选课文中出现的某一突出的语法现象进行操练；此外还包括针对某一常见语法项目的练习，从而增强学生的语法识别能力和应用能力。这个部分的最后一个练习是模仿课文中的句型造句，以增强学生的语言活用能力。
Translation exercises分汉译英和英译汉两个部分。汉译英是句子翻译练习，检查学生应用所学词汇进行翻译的能力。英译汉是段落翻译，或是课文概要或和课文主题相关，以便在检查学生篇章翻译能力的同时，帮助其加深对课文的整体理解。
Exercises for integrated skills分两个部分：一是听写，综合检查学生的听力、理解、语法和拼写能力；二是填空练习，检查学生的英语搭配能力、语法能力以及对语篇的整体理解能力。
Oral activities是为学生围绕课文内容开展口语活动而设计的练习，教师也可以另行设计，关键是促使学生开口，培养他们用英语表述自己的观点和意见、和他人交流思想、进行辩论的能力。
Writing practice是有指导的写作练习，要求学生根据提示写出一定篇幅的短文。在这个练习中，应鼓励学生应用所学的词汇和句型，并鼓励学生发表自己的观点。
Listening exercises的编写是为了帮助学生提高英语听力。这个练习如何处理，可由教师灵活掌握，但应以适当的方式对学生进行检查，以免遭到忽视。 Text II是对Text I主题的扩展或深化，如果处理得好，前后两篇课文可以起到相辅相成的作用。Text II只配Questions for discussion一个练习，所提的问题多是启发式问题，旨在开拓学生思路，鼓励其就相关问题提出自己的观点和看法，培养其分析问题和解决问题的能力。
