实用旅游英语（“十一五”国家级规划教材；高职高专旅游管理系列教材）

    目前国内市场面向高职高专的旅游英语教材存在着练习形式单一、重讲解、轻实践的现象，内容互动不够，教学中学生处于被动接受的地位；有的教材材料陈旧，无法满足旅游业快速发展的需要。
    为此，本教材从实际教学需要出发，作者结合多年的旅游英语教学经验和细致的市场行业调查，在中外专家的支持和帮助下，精心编写了《实用旅游英语》，教材体现了专业英语教学的最新思想。具体而言，即强调培养学生在旅游行业情境下的英语听、说、读、写、译能力，以及在英语语言环境下，培养学生专业知识的实际应用能力。教材编写坚持实用性、互动性原则，体现了以学生为主体的新时代教学理念，着重培养学生在旅游行业中的英语的实际应用能力，在强调听说能力的同时，提高学生在阅读、翻译及写作等方面的实际应用能力。
    为了体现以上特色，本教材在吃、住、行、游、购、娱六大部分的总体框架下，每个部分再根据相关主题细分成若干个单元。每个单元都有一篇主课文，一篇主对话，从而保证了学生对基本英语知识的获取，并为互动练习提供必要的知识基础。每个单元的练习不仅是检验学生知识掌握程度的手段，更是重要的知识输入途径。所有练习都配有现实活动中使用的图表、图片、标识等，增加了实用性，提高了学生的学习和参与兴趣。练习部分综合了在同一情境下的听、说、读、写、译各个技能方面的训练，有利于多方位巩固学生的知识、技能；更重要的是各项练习穿插在整个单元始终，彻底打破了讲解课、练习课的区别，充分体现了以学生为主体的新时代教学理念。
    本教材在体现实用性和学生主体性的同时，还通过灵活的体例设置，充分体现轻松活泼的特点。图片、图表、问卷、简短的介绍性文字，以及精心设置的讨论题目等，都有助于学生对知识的直观了解，增加学生的学习兴趣。同时，在每个单元最后，还设有精心选择的文化背景阅读材料和本单元的补充词汇，从而满足了不同英语水平学生的需求。

    本书充分体现了英语的情景教学法和交际教学法，互动形式多样，选材实用性强。教学方法和部分材料已在专科教学中进行实践，教学效果和学生反馈均令人满意。
    本教材的使用对象是中、高等旅游职业院校的学生，也适用于有志于从事对外旅游行业的英语爱好者。
 

    本教材的具体编写分工如下：杨华编写了第一部分和第六部分，翟润梅编写了第三部分和第五部分，牛涛编写了第二部分和第四部分。该教材有幸得到了北京外国专家“长城友谊奖”获得者，并担任北京市文物局、北京市残联、北京市旅游局专家顾问的David NTool教授的通篇审阅。
