每个单元围绕两个写作任务而展开:Summary writing & Paragraph/Essay Writing。为了促成这两个任务的高质量完成课程材料分为两个部分:技巧讲解语言输入

  2. 语言输入部分是指Reading for Writing。语言输入部分旨在提高英语输出的内容质量语言水平


本课程有以下几个突出特点:

  1. 语块。与传统教材不同的是我们把单词的学习放到语块学习中,这样学生学到的不是单独的单词,而是一个包含新单词的完整地道表达。

  2. 针对输出任务的问答。每个Reading for Writing部分都设计了4-5个问题,并且鼓励学生用两个版本来回答:Quoted Version为引用原文回答,Paraphrased Version为用自己的话回答。通过该练习,学生可以高效吸收学习材料内的思想内容和语言表达,并将之内化。为学生模仿和参考,这部分都配有参考回答。

  3. 摘要写作。把上述几个问题的答案串联起来,并加上一些连接词,以及开头和结尾,就是一篇完整的摘要。每篇摘要在150-200字之间,同样是两个版本。摘要相当于一篇作文的范文。这部分进一步促使学生内化输入语言材料的思想和语言,并形成完整有逻辑的语言输出。
