第四篇：英语演讲及辩论教学大纲与计划3

《英语演讲及辩论》课程大纲和要求

总学时：

学时，周学时2，共上16周。教材：

社会热点问题

参考教材：名人演讲---响彻世界的声音 任课教师：辛柯教授

教学目标：本课程是为英语专业高年级学生开设的，其目的是培养高年纪学生较强的英语讲演和辩论能力、较高层次的听力、写作能力、思辨能力和多层次分析问题的能力，并扩大知识面和词汇量。

教学要求：

1、学生通过听大量英语名人演讲磁带和阅读有关英语演讲材料，掌握演讲文体的篇章特点，韵律节奏等。

2、学生根据教师所给定的主题(主要是社会热点问题)，写出自己的讲稿（500~800词），在课后能熟练背诵，在班上演讲（5~7分钟），并回答教师与同学围绕该主题所提的问题。

3、要求学生就相关主题写讲稿之前，大量阅读国内外英文报纸或杂志、或听英文广播，或在互联网上搜寻资料；对有些观点不能人云亦云，要从各个层面分析问题，得出具有个人特点、令人信服的结论。

4、学生根据同一主题，分正反两方写出演讲稿，由正反方两方选出代表，进行辩论。由学生投票选出胜方。或者根据社会热点问题举行模拟记者招待会,有记者对主持人提问。

5、每学期每人要写8~10篇演讲稿。

6、要求学生课后反复听课文所配录音磁带，并背诵部分段落。

考试要求：期末根据本学期所给定的8-10个主题，教师对每一位学生指定或由学生选定主题准备一篇讲演稿或辩论稿。在演讲之前，抓阄决定每人的演讲或辩论次序，由教师和三名学生担当的评委打分。

序言

语言表达能力是一个人总体能力中非常重要的一部分，是一个人逻辑思维能力、理性分析能力、组织能力、决策能力、感召能力、个人魅力的总体表现。而语言表达中的幽默、哲理又是一个人智慧的体现。

在公众面前发表演讲是衡量一个人语言运用能力的重要标志。能用英语和他人就一个主题进行辩论是外语学习较高层次的要求；写演讲稿也是写作的高层次要求，因为演讲稿是一种特殊的文体，从用词、修辞、句子结构到篇章结构都有严格的要求。从不同的方位和各个层次把问题分析得有条有理，给听众提供信服的证据和结论也是演讲家必备的能之一。高等教育不仅要培养工程师、教师、科学家、医生、各种管理人员，同时培养企业领导人、国家领导人以及雄辩的演讲家和辩论家也是高等教育的目标之一.要培养良好的语言表达能力需要大量的语言操练和科学思维的训练, 同时要加强背诵讲稿的能力。里根总统在当演员是就练成了非凡的记忆力。演讲时配合得当的手势、恰如其分的面部表情，以及清晰的发音，准确的句子和词的重音都是需要长期训练的。

Basic requirements for Public Speech and Debate Speeches are not magic.A speech is a combination of information and opinion

written on paper and spoken.If you can have a thoughtful conversation, you can write and give a thoughtful speech.This is just one more reason why spoken English is so important.The following are the basic requirements for a public speech.1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.The speech should focus on one topic so that the audience can easily get the gist.The speech that covers too many thoughts, opinions or ideas could only confuse the audience.No speech should last more than 20 minutes.The more important the message, the less time required to say it.The more you speak, the more boring the audient find it is.In other words, the shorter your speech is, the more easily it can be remembered!The Gettysburg Address given by President Lincoln lasted only about 3 minutes.Complicated sentence patterns should be avoided.And parallel structure may very often produce amazing effect.Choose your words carefully.It’s important to remember that your words must be hearable and comprehensible the first time they are spoken.A clear pronunciation is necessary since a lot of words sound alike and the speaker has to give a distinct pronunciation of every word, but sometimes he has to speak very slowly, sometimes very quickly with exciting rhythm.With the help of gesture, the speaker sometimes has to invite the audience for participation, resulting in an exciting atmosphere.Humor is vital.Every speech needs it, and you need it, too, probably at the top.Ronald Reagan always wanted a joke at the beginning of a speech because he needed the quick victory of laughter.It helped him relax.It also helped the audience relax.While debating with others, the most important is to collect convincing facts or data to support your point of view and come to a convincing conclusion.Debating is an art that needs techniques as well as intensive training.The rational analysis of the question concerned and a quick response are based on the participant’s wide range of knowledge.Don’t forget to say thanks.Say your thanks in the manner or with the tone.Offer a compliment or a warm word whenever you can.英语演讲及辩论课程计划

跟其它语言一样，英语最重要的功能就是交流。作为交流的载体，英语演讲、英语辩论是目前英语能力比赛中被最常采用的两种形式。对于广大参赛者来说，友谊第一、比赛第二永远是正确的心态。可是，对于那些真正想要表现自己能力，展现英语素养的选手而言，对胜利的渴望一定更占主导地位。我参加了近几年大大小小的英语能力比赛，见识了许多英语实力非常强的选手，但很可惜不少被我看好的人最终却都没有登顶，甚至未能在复赛中出线。当然，其中不排除存在裁判不公正因素的可能性，不过总的说来，大部分选手们都没能把“裁判希望看到的东西”体现出来，而这也是我想写这篇文章的理由。

既然英语最重要的功能就是交流，那么做一个好的交流者（communicator）就成为大家必须掌握的一项技能。我觉得在诸多因素中，最关键的是以下三个核心能力：倾听、理解、表达。

倾听：学会主动的接受对方观点是非常重要的交流技能，而这一点往往是被大部分选手所忽视的。

我们常常用“亲和力”（approachable）形容一些具备独特魅力的人，跟他们交流往往是一种快乐。这其中当然不乏气质、谈吐、身份等主观感觉，但他们最重要的一点共性其实是——他们都是优秀的倾听者（excellent listeners）。良好的倾听习惯不仅能够让你更有效地获取对方想表达的信息，更能给对方创造一个乐于分享的交流氛围。就好像老师上课时总是喜欢那些紧跟课堂节奏、眼神执着、不时点头的学生一样，这些细微的动作常常是老师辛苦备课最大的动力源泉。比赛时评委考察的不仅是你的语音、语调等语言方面的能力，同时也在观察你听问题、听对方辩手发言时候的风度（manner）。一个自己说得天花乱坠却对别人的提问或发言不屑一顾的人，绝对不可能得到评委的青睐。

理解：学会能动的消化对方思想同样也是不可或缺的交流技巧，在这一点上影响最大的是怯场心理（stage fright）。对于能够掌握逻辑性极强的英语的选手而言，最基本的思辨能力绝对不是问题，真正的问题在于：当你站在台上面对底下的观众、评委，甚至广大“后援团”的时候，你是否还能够保留平时那颗理性的头脑。巧妇难为无米之炊，如果因为紧张而错误理解了对方的观点，哪怕你说得再义正词严那也是下笔千言离题万里。

首先，不要否认自己在场上会感到紧张，这是非常正常的生理行为，关键的是如何把紧张的时间压缩到最小，最早进入状态。这种短时的积极紧张（positive stress）不仅不会影响你的发挥，反而能让你注意力高度集中，思维速度大大活跃，从而能够以最快的反应回答出最

有创造力的答案。其次，一旦进入这个亢奋状态（high起来了），选手同时要警惕另一个问题，就是high过了头以至开始胡言乱语。这两种因怯场而导致理解偏差的例子数不胜数。表达：经过倾听理解输入的东西最终还是要靠你的输出（output）来完成交流。此时，表达技巧（delivery）就成了核心问题。Language is power，Delivery is strength。没有掌握表达技巧很容易让选手走入“怀才不遇”的自责怪圈，这是最为可惜的。

我这里罗列几点需要注意的地方：口齿清晰（clarity），语言流利（fluency），发音准备（accuracy），节奏变换（pace），语音变化（vocal variety），面部表情（facial expression），眼神交流（eye-contact），手势姿势（gesture & posture），感情流露（natural emotion）……同时选手还必须注意避免用语复杂（easy language is best），展现个人性格（personality），创造亮点（highlight）吸引观众。

做到以上三点，你将不仅成为一个好的交流者，更能在各类比赛中脱颖而出。对于不缺乏能力而缺乏技巧的选手而言，从这三点出发扬长避短就一定能成功。
