大学英语语音专题课的教学理念与实践

Pedagogical principles and practices of elective courses of English pronunciation

本文对笔者开设的[美国英语语音]系列课程展开教学反思。笔者首先回顾课程的建设背景及其发展过程，介绍课程现状，着重阐述了英语语音专题教学的教学理念与实践，最后提出了课程未来的发展动向。笔者主张采用[跨语言语音分析模仿的原则（a cross-linguistic analytic-imitative approach）]，帮助学生全面认知英语语音，利用所学的方法与技巧，在持之以恒的练习中逐步地熟练掌握正确的音段（segmental）发音和超音段（suprasegmental）表达的技能，最终从听、说两个角度牢固地掌握大学英语的基本词汇和英语语法规则，从而为提高英语听说应用能力夯实必要的语音物质基础，增加学生在英语听说训练中的兴趣与自信。
