1、1测绘专业英语课程教学指导一、本课程的性质、目的本课程是测绘工程专业学生的专业选修课程。学生在进行了两年的公共英语学习后,在词汇、语法、句法、阅读能力、写作能力等方面都打下了比较好的基础;为巩固学生的英语学习,并将公共英语与专业基础相结合,以适应工作需要,特开设此课程。二、本课程的教学重点理论部分:本课程全部为理论教学,知识点散落在各篇课文中,很难指出具体哪部分课文内容是重点。重点知识点参见课程内容课时安排。三、本课程教学中应注意的问题科技英语是一种英语语体,无论是词汇、句法、语法都有其固有的特点,本课程的教学主要应注意与公共英语教学的异同。四、本课程的教学目的教育部制定的大学本科专业英语的教
2、学大纲规定,通过专业英语的学习,主要是让学生具备“以英语为工具通过阅读获取专业所需信息的能力” 。根据此规定,通过本课程的教学要求学生:1、 掌握常见测绘专业英语词汇;2、 熟悉科技英语的语法、句法特点;3、 能读懂难度适中的专业文章的英语原文;4、 会撰写科技论文的英文题目、摘要。五、本课程采用的教学方法本课程的教学方法以课堂讲授为主、学生进行口头与书面练习为辅。主要包括以下几个方面的内容:1、 词汇:专业英语词汇量大,但许多是由公共英语词汇转化、引申、派生或合成的,因此词汇教学着重与构词法及常见前缀、后缀的含义。2、 语法与句法:专业英语是一种英语语体,在语法与句法方面有其固有的特点。为了
3、让学生掌握其特点,主要通过课文教学使他们具备该方面的感性认识,再通过附录二的教学达到理性的飞跃。23、 阅读与翻译:要以英语为工具通过阅读获取专业所需信息,必须在有足够词汇量(包括专业英语词汇)并熟悉科技英语语法与句法的基础上,透彻地理解原文,然后用明白流畅的中文表达出来(因为用英语获取的信息,不仅要自己理解,更重要的是能与同行交流或传授给他人) 。阅读与翻译能力的提高,同样需要感性积累与理性总结。专业英语句子较长,且定语从句、状语、动词非谓语形式多,为帮助学生理解课文,提高翻译能力,对于比较复杂的句子,在本课程前半部分,直接由教师讲解句子结构,在后半部分,先由学生分析,再由教师补充。附录二与
4、附录三的教学,对于本课程而言不可或缺。科技论文题目、摘要的写作:主要通过附录的教学来达到该教学要求。六、课程教学资料教材:本课程以武汉大学出版的测绘工程专业英语为主,结合我院自编教材测绘科技英语选读 。本课程的内容难易适当、取材广泛;涵盖了以下几个方面的内容:(1)测绘;(2)测量、误差与平差;(3)变形监测等基本知识;附录:(1)词汇表;(2)科技英语的特点;(3)科技英语的理解;(4)科技英语的翻译;(5)科技论文题目、摘要的写作。参考书:1、 测绘专业英语曲建光 测绘出版社;2、 科技英语读译指南邢修祥 冶金工业出版社;3、 科技英语翻译理论与技巧保清等,中国农业机械出版社。期刊:1、
