現(xiàn)代大學(xué)英語精讀》教材是北京外國語大學(xué)多名教授共同研究而成，這些教授具有豐富的教學(xué)經(jīng)驗和深厚的語言功底，而且教材有國內(nèi)著名的外語出版社出版，還是普通高等教育“十五”國家級規(guī)劃教材。所以，現(xiàn)代大學(xué)英語精讀教材在一定程度上能夠保證教學(xué)內(nèi)容、教學(xué)過程和教學(xué)方法的科學(xué)性和合理性，從而保證教學(xué)質(zhì)量和教學(xué)效果。教材具有系統(tǒng)性。從整體上看，教材體系完整，內(nèi)容豐富，有利于學(xué)生系統(tǒng)的學(xué)習(xí)語音、詞匯、語法等語言知識；材內(nèi)容從易到難，是一個逐步推進(jìn)的過程。第一年的教材主要任務(wù)是鞏固高中所學(xué)的內(nèi)容，這主要是考慮到大學(xué)新生需要時間來克服高中階段應(yīng)試教學(xué)的影響，要盡快幫助他們熟悉大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)方法，養(yǎng)成良好的學(xué)習(xí)習(xí)慣，糾正他們的語音語調(diào)，鼓勵他們克服漢語方言對應(yīng)于發(fā)音的負(fù)面影響，同時，要讓學(xué)生意識到學(xué)習(xí)英語的目的關(guān)鍵是運用，而不是為了做題。第二年的教材，主要是知識積累，要運用各種方法擴大詞匯量，提高對語法的掌握和運用能力，還要加強寫作和翻譯的訓(xùn)練，因為這兩種技能需要從實踐中得到提高，而不是拘泥于書本知識，第三年的教材主要是培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的閱讀水平，學(xué)生能夠獨立完成一個章節(jié)的閱讀，教材增加了閱讀的難度，這樣有助于提高學(xué)生的閱讀水平，第四年的精讀教材主要是使學(xué)生的聽、說、讀、寫、譯這五種能力得到全面的培養(yǎng)，是學(xué)生對這幾種基本技能同時得到訓(xùn)練。教材選文具有多樣性?！冬F(xiàn)代大學(xué)英語精讀》教材克服了傳統(tǒng)教學(xué)理念的缺陷，教材編寫體現(xiàn)了以應(yīng)用為本，聽、說、讀、寫、譯等多位一體的教材設(shè)計理念，把提高學(xué)生綜合運用能力放在首位。該系類教材的指導(dǎo)思想就是在課堂上創(chuàng)造一個真實的語言教學(xué)環(huán)境，使學(xué)生得各種語言技能得到充分的訓(xùn)練。教材中覆蓋的詞匯量超過大學(xué)英語四六級的水平，在教材的使用中學(xué)生強化了對單詞的復(fù)現(xiàn)率，該教材詞匯豐富，詞匯重復(fù)出現(xiàn)有助于強化記憶。閱讀理解的任務(wù)活動可以幫助學(xué)生檢測和深化對課文的理解，掌握各種閱讀技巧。在每一章節(jié)的聯(lián)系中還涉及了漢譯英和英譯漢的翻譯練習(xí)，這樣有助于訓(xùn)練學(xué)生的翻譯能力。而且，教材中選取的文章題材多樣，風(fēng)格各異，內(nèi)容豐富，涉及了政治、經(jīng)濟、文化語言、科技、體育、風(fēng)俗人情等各方面。所以，該教材有利于學(xué)生更好地了解世界文化，培養(yǎng)跨文化意識和跨文化交際的能力?？傮w來說，《現(xiàn)代大學(xué)英語精讀》教材合理的教學(xué)布局，能夠使學(xué)生的綜合能力得到全面的培養(yǎng),聽、說、讀、寫、譯等各項語言技能在教材中得到了綜合呈現(xiàn),該教材注重語言技能的培養(yǎng)、注重學(xué)生獨立學(xué)習(xí)能力的提高。但教材中也有一些不足之處，比如關(guān)于綜合技能的整體訓(xùn)練,
