实用写作教程

　　《研究生英语系列教程》是以教育部（原国家教委）颁布的《非英语专业研究生英语教学大纲》为依据，根据我国研究生教学的实际情况和国家对21世纪高级技术与管理人才的要求进行编写的。考虑到目前我国研究生层次多，其入学英语水平参差不齐，需要以不同水平为起点，因此本系列教程的编写原则是：既从当前研究生的实际水平出发、也力求满足新世纪对高层次人才的期望；既重视培养学生扎实的语言技能，更注重提高其全面的应用能力，既注意语言教育，更重视素质教育。本系列教程具有以下特点：1．在编写中注意吸收我国在长期的研究生英语教学和教材编写中积累的丰富经验，同时充分采纳国外的先进教学理论和方法。2．本系列教程统一设计，分工编写，涵盖了自研究生课程班学生、硕士生至博士生的全部教学过程。3．研究生阶段培养的是高层次的专业人才，其英语教材应体现先进性和学术性。
