一、课程概述
该课程的侧重点在教授日常生活中所需的英语听说技能。通过大量的口语练习和实践，在本课程结束时，学生能就日常生活中的常见的话题进行连贯交谈，语言得体，能够表达自己的思想。其他技能训练包括阅读和写作。 在帮助学生提高语言技能的同时，还设计一些练习，以帮助学生对整个教材有一个清楚的认识，形成一套相适应的自学方法。
该课程是英语语言交际模块的第一门课程，一般需学习8周，每周 10－11学时。
该课程除了有文字教材《高级日常英语》《高级英语系列录像——视听指南》以外，还配有1盒录音带，里面录有《高级日常英语》中涉及的听力练习；8讲电视／录象课（每讲 25分钟），其目的在于围绕《高级日常英语》所涉及的主题给学生提供一些补充性的视听材料及相关的文化背景知识；另外录像课的内容还被压入VCD光盘。这些媒体的使用主要是为了让学生能够通过对相关语言材料的多种感官作用提高对语言的敏感度，同时也能加快对语言的吸收和理解，更重要的是为学生提供非常直观的英语国家的文化背景知识。
二、教学内容及在学习中应注意的问题 《高级日常英语》共包括八个单元，每一个单元都围绕着人们日常生活中常见的话题，如家庭、住宅、家庭琐事、出行、地方社区、人生与婚姻、健康以及年岁与人生。
单元内容的编排基本上遵循着从总体到具体的原则（from general to specific）：首先是学生每一单元所要 掌握的内容（performance objectives），接着是让学生对所学单元的内容有心理准备的材料（warm-up），然后是一些为实现某一 performance objective所设计的activities，而每一个activity下面又分设了许多的tasks以达到强化训练学生语言技能的目的。因此学生在学习该教材时脑子里应该首先有一个很清楚的框架，先从每一单元的 performance objectives入手，然后有的放矢地去学习。

以上每一单元的活动设计按照目的基本上可以分为两大类，即activities for fluency和activities for accuracy。
activities for fluency即那些以着重提高学生语言交际技能为目的的练习活动，如听说练习。activities for accuracy即那些用来提高学生对语言知识掌握的精确度的练习活动，如词汇和语法的练习。
这两大类活动均能有效地帮助学生提高交际技能，因此不可偏废哪一方。 下面详细讲一下使用本书时所应注意的问题。
词汇学习该教材每一单元里都穿插了一些词汇练习，其目的在于通过多样化的练习形式给学生提供交际活动所需的词汇。因此学生不应该只满足于知道某一词的正确拼写和汉语意思，而应该在此基础上，在交际活动中掌握该词的正确使用方法。此外同学们还需注意的是词汇是通过交际活动体现它的存在意义的，因此在学习词汇时不应把它们孤立于语境之外，而是把它们放在一定的语境中进行学习记忆。换句话说，记单个单词不如记句子，记句子不如记段落，而记段落又不如记文章。这也是完全符合记忆规律的，即联想记忆要比孤立记忆效果好得多。
语法学习语法项目的练习也是该教材的内容之一。但是与传统教材不同的是该教材有机地把语法项目和其所表达的语言功能结合起来。学生也应转变以往只顾埋头学习语法的做法，要认清语法只是实现某种交际目的的工具。因此在学习某一语法项目时应通过尽可能多样化的交际活动来掌握它。
听力练习听力练习的设计也基本上遵从 from general to specific的原则，即练习从 listening for gist向 listening for details逐渐过渡，这实质上也体现了学生在自我听力技能训练时所应遵循的原则。在具体实践上应注意以下几点：第一，听力材料的标题不容忽视，因为这一般是材料的中心思想所在。听者可以从中猜测出所要听的材料是关于哪一方面的，然后可以调动脑中所有与此相关的知识（activate all the relevant knowledge），这样可以很快进人听力理解状态。第二，听材料时，要正确处理好“点”与“面”的关系，要注意对“点”（details）的理解要以对“面”（gist）的理解为基础。也就是说学生应先把注意力集中在材料所提供的总体情况，即我们常说的six w's（ e.g．Where does the story／dialogue take place？ What is the main idea of the story/dialogue? Who are the heroes／speakers? How did ...happen? Why did it happen? When did it happen? etc．）。 然后在此基础上再加强对细节的理解。切记勿因过分注意个别句子以至单词的意思而忽略了对整体的理解。 第三，做精听练习（listening for details）时，应有备而听（listening with a purpose）。这就要求先测览一遍练习题目，再听材料。也只有这样才能做到听的时候心中有数，提高听力理解的正确率，进而提高自信心。
口语练习 这是该教材的侧重点之一，因此书中包括大量的口语练习活动。这些活动大多是结合听力材料的内容设计的。其目的在于让学生从听力材料中汲取语料（language input），然后经过在大量的交际活动中的模仿使用最终把它们变成自己的东西说出（language output）。这样也就避免了出口成错或是没的可说的尴尬。另外，要想提高口语还需注意以下几个方面： 第一，“说”这项语言技能不是孤立的，应与其他四项技能（"听"、“读”、"写”、“译”）结合起来。这五项技能相互联系，相互促进。偏废任何一个方面都会阻碍语言学习的进程。学生在学习时也应有意识地把这几项技能有机地结合起来。比如说可以把听到的或者读到的材料作为自己要说、要写或要译的素材。 第二，“多练”是提高口语的最佳途径（ Practice makes perfect．） 首先学生应认真地完成教材里设计的口语练习。比较理想的状况是由至少两个人一起来完成。但如果现实不允许也可以自己扮演多种角色来完成。另外，不要放过任何一个用英语交流的机会，这包括在辅导课上积极参与一切交际活动；也包括参加课外的英语活动，如英语角、英语讲座、网上英语交谈等等。 第三，在做口语练习时应注意交际技能（communication skills）的培养。如通过多种途径表达同一意思，这可以使说话者在不知道某一特定词汇或句型时也可有效地表达自己的想法；再如能根据不同场合选用恰当的语体表达自己的想法等。 阅读练习 该教材围绕每一单元的主题选用了一些语言简单、地道的文章，其主要目的在于给学生提供口语或写作练习时所需要的素材。有一些文章甚至还可以供写作时模仿。因此学生不能单把读懂文章作为自己的目标，而是应从中汲取地道的语言，以备将来用到自己的讲话或写作中。
同学们在阅读时还应注意以下几个方面： 第一，注意阅读技能的培养。常见的技能包括跳读（skirnming for the gist）、略读（scanning for details）及根据上下文（context）猜词义等。一般来讲，拿到一篇文章不要急于去读正文，首先看一下标题及其他所有附带的信息（para－text，如文章的出处、作者及图片等），这样在读正文之前就可以对文章的风格、文体及文章所要表达的信息有一个初步的概念，那么在阅读正文时大脑很快便可以进人阅读理解状态。 第二，与做听力练习一样，阅读也应是有备而读（reading with a purpose）。平常读文章时可以把它变成一个不断检测自己对所要阅读的内容的预测是否正确的过程。这样可以使阅读因为有了目的而更加有意思。 第三，平常要进行广泛大量的阅读。阅读的内容可以小到路标、药瓶上的用药提示，大到报刊上的广告、文章乃至于原版小说。这些都有助于学生阅读能力的提高。 写作练习 该教材几乎每一单元的结尾都设计了一个写作题目，其目的实质上是为了给学生提供一个应用该单元所学的知识的机会，同时也可起到巩固知识的作用。
同学们在做写作练习时应注意以下几点： 第一，写作练习应注重过程而不应只注重结果（writing as a process rather than merely as a product)这就要求写作时要经过一定的程序而不是一拿到题目动起笔来就写。首先一拿到题目要审好题，然后击活脑中所有与此题目相关的信息（activate all the relevant knowledge/brainstorming），接着以此为基础列提纲（write an outline，这是一个非常重要的环节，因为这样才可确保写出的文章条理清晰，内容切题，避免走弯路浪费时间），再接下来便是细化提纲（detail the outline），即从与此题目相关的信息中提取出典型的具有说服力的信息并把它填充到提纲中。在做好这些准备工作之后便可以动笔写作了。写完之后还需要反复阅读修改，即draft--redraft的过程，比较理想的是写完一篇文章后，先把它放在一边，隔一段时间再读它，这样读的时候可以换一个角度，更容易看出文章中的问题。 第二，写作练习时注意模仿（modeling）。教材中好多阅读的材料都是很好的可供模仿的范例。但是需要注意的是模仿不等于抄写（copy），因为抄写过多会导致plagarism。模仿是指对文章的好结构、好句式的模仿，而不是把文章中的原词原句照搬照抄。 第三，写作练习也可以参照评分标准进行有目的的练习。
写作评分标准如下（满分为20分的写作题目）：
分 数 标 准
18-20 文章切题，内容充实，有独到之处；行文流畅，语言得体；篇幅适当；结构组织安排得十分合理；句子结构有变化，用词有选择，避免了单调和粗俗；无语法错误。

12-14 基本切题；语体基本得当；篇幅适当；篇章结构进行了适当的计划或调整；只有少量语法错误，选词错误，或拼写错误，不致引起阅读困难。
9-11 基本切题，但内容有待充实；语体不当之处较少；篇幅适当；结构有待改善；常用结构中无语法错误，其他语法和词汇错误不致引起严重的阅读困难。
6-8 大致切题，但有关内容欠缺或包含无关内容；缺乏语体意识；篇幅不够；篇章结构松散不当；各种语言错误导致严重阅读困难或误解。
0-5 错误过多，无法阅读。
三、课程考核 本课程的考核采取两种形式：形成性考核和课程终结考试。课程总成绩为百分制，形成性考核占 20%，课程终结考试占 80%。
形成性考核：包括平时作业，参与面授辅导和各项教学活动的情况，以及学生对学习过程中的自我监控。
课程终结考试：包括口试和笔试两部分，口试满分为1OO分，占课程总成绩的 2O％；笔试包括听力、阅读和写作三部分，满分也为1OO分，占课程总成绩的6O％。口试和笔试都由中央电大统一命题，在同一时间全国统考。
口试：课程终结考试的口试集中测试考生就特定话题进行表达和会话的能力。口试时考生两人一组进行对话。
考生进入备考场后，抽签组成“AB考伴”，每组考生抽取一套考卷。每套考卷包括两个不同的会话命题（提供文字或图片提示），考生A和B分别开始一个话题。
口试考官从交际的有效性、谈话的流利程度、语音、语法、用词五个方面对两位考生分别进行评判计分。考试时间总共为3O分钟。正式口试时，每个话题的会话约7分钟。 笔试：笔试分作两部分，第一部分为听力测验，占4O分；第二部分为阅读理解和写作，阅读理解占4O分；写作占2O分，共计6O分。考试时间总共12O分钟，其中听力部分4O分钟（含1O分钟誉写答案时间），阅读理解部分50分钟，写作3O分钟。
命题依据：本课程终结考试的命题依据是中央广播电视大学本科开放教育英语专业教学计划、课程教学大纲以及“高级英语自学教材”中的《高级日常英语》。
评价目标：本考试重点考核学生日常生活所需的英语听说技能。学生应能就日常生活中常见话题进行连贯交谈，语言得体，能够表达自己的思想。同时，还考核相应的阅读和写作技能，以及对英语国家日常生活的一些文化特征的了解程度。需要特殊说明的是命题涉及教材内容不少于 5O％。其目的在于让学生更好地利用本教材提高英语交际技能。
学生备考中应该注意以下几个问题： 第一，注意平时时间安排，以防临时抱佛脚，造成期未复习负担过重。大家都知道，语言学习重在平时积累，那么平时如果能够按照课前认真预习、课上积极参与、课下及时复习的步骤学习该课程，考试时一定能取得理想的效果。另外，平时还要注意多听、多说、多读、多写和多译，这样才能综合发展英语交际技能。 第二，平时注意认真看清练习指示，以防养成审题不认真的坏习 惯。不认真审题可造成答题方式不符合要求或写作的文章跑题等后g果，这些都可导致不必要的丢分。 第三，复习时，采取互助、互惠的办法，相互学习，相互促进。同学们的学习因为多半要靠自己独立自主完成，这就需要有一个强大的精神支柱。最好的精神支柱应该来自与自己有着同样处境的同学们。所以同学们应该相互支持，以出色顺利地完成学业。

Most people through the world have always valued good food. Different cultures have evolved their own cuisines, which on analysis usually turn out to be exquisitely well balanced: super meals to suit the climate and the crops. But we in Britain have lost touch with the earth and its fruits. Our peasantry was destroyed by the Industrial Revolution and in the last 40 years the small farmer has been virtually wiped out and replaced by agribusiness. For generations, British children have grown up eating out of cans and packets, unaware. of the difference between good and bad food. But time is changing for the better and even we British are developing a positive interest in quality food. This revolution in our national appreciation of food has been encouraged by immigrants, especially those from the Mediterranean and the East, who have brought their good taste with them and established markets, shops and restaurants. "I don't know what to buy or cook any more," some people say, 11 everything seems to be bad for you. " But any good cook book where the recipes respect traditional peasant cuisine is a treasure. house of supermeals. Likewise, restaurants whose owners have been careful not to corrupt their food with fats and sugars to suit our British taste, may well serve ready-made supermeals. If the meals really are authentic, five of the very best cuisines on earth are: GREEK The Greeks live longer than any other European nation. Their cuisine is based on olive oil, which is very low in saturated fats. Genuine Greek food includes masses of salads, rough bread, and fresh fish and nwan A fauy dish Eke Meftiko is eaten only once in a while. JAPANESE The Japanese are the longest living people in the world. Their traditional food, with rice as the staple, includes very lightly cooked green vegetables and raw fish. Meat is only very rarely eaten and sugar and dairy foods are not used at all. The one problem with Japanese food is its very high salt content. However, stir frying is an ideal way to prepare healthy food. LEBANESE A cuisine based on starters. Whole vegetabless aarree served as salads, to preserve all their nourishment. Copious use is made of herbs, many of which have healing properties. The main meal is semi- vegetarian, using beans, pulses, green vegetables and yogurt. INDIAN As with Chinese food, it is hard to find an Indian restaurant serving authentic dishes; almost all are corrupted to suit our taste for fats and sugars. Also beware curries that disguised bad ingredients. Vegetarian is usually the safest choice. Try the thalis (complete vegetarian meals) including bean and lentil curries. THAI Simple yet marvelous mixtures of vegetables, usually with fish, and sumptvous exotic fruits. A delicate cuisine best enjoyed in Thailand, but the very best Thai restaurants in Britain will certainly give you a supermeal to remember. The soups are particularly characteristic. Thai food has similarities to both Indonesian and Malaysian cuisine.

Let's take clothes as an example. Sure, we all - British or American - wear coats, jackets, shirts, shoes and jeans but there are problems when it comes to sneakers. I went into a shoe store the other day to buy a pair of sneakers. The clerk looked at me blankly. "You know", I said, "comfortable sports shoes - the type that everyone wears these days". " Oh, you mean trainers", she replied. So, I bought a pair of trainers. Or are they sneakers? The British call pants I trousers' - and that' s fine. Few Americans have problems with that word! But, can you believe it, for the British 'pants' are what we call underwear, shorts or slip? 'Mere's a similar problem with the word vest too. While we Americans wear our vests over our shirts and under our suit jackets, the British wear their vests under their shirts. Yes, a vest for the British is another item of under-wear. An American vest is a waistcoat for the British! The problem does not sto p here. We guys in the States use suspenders to hold up our trousers. British men use braces for the same purpose.
