論文：

當代中國國情與世界經濟一體化發展的客觀現實要求全面發展成為真正的外語人才的素質。文學教育可以為學生實現素質拓展提供最有利的文學素養和文化背景支持，具有別的學科和可不無法取代的優勢。英語文學教學是大學英語教學的重要組成部分，大學英語教學應增強英美文學意識。這不僅可以促進學生語言基礎基本功的提高，還可以培養學生的人文素質，是大學英語成為真正的素質教學。

英美文學教育的現狀及重要意義：目前，社會上普遍彌漫著急功近利、急于求成的氛圍已深入影響力當代學生。無論在什么時候,我們都不能把文學與語言這兩個概念割裂開來分析,文學是承載語言最重要的載體,而語言是文學塑造形象來反映社會生活、表達作者思想感情基本工具。文學教育難以被學生認可與接受有以下兩個原因。其一，文學教育自身的特點決定了它不可能在短時間內起到“可視”的作用，文學教育是長期的潛移默化式的緩慢的“滋潤”。其二，我國現行教育制度并未中分強調文學的重要性，導致一些學校忽視了對學生整體素質的培養，課上個人陳述及課下作文練習講的、寫的東西空洞無物，無內容更無思想，更不要說個人理解及見解。文學教育不等同于文學教學。英美文學作品代表著西方社會的價值觀記錄著西方社會發展的點點滴滴。英美文學教育不僅能培養學生的語言表達能力和文學欣賞能力，更重要的是他能夠幫助學生塑造獨特個性、培養文化寬容精神，培養學生高尚的道德情操、逐漸了解異域文化與風情的獨特魅力。

英美文學教學的培養目標：英美文學教育所致力于達到的目標是“培養學生的思維能力”包括辨別分析能力、批判能力和選擇能力。對英美文學教育加以借鑒反觀本國文化，進行對比研究，更深一步深化英語語言的學習，提高跨文化交際能力，達到中西雙向互相交流的目的。這樣，既提升了個體素質，又為國家貢獻了聰明才智，是真正意義上的復合型外語人才。

英美教育的措施：英美文學教育是在文學教學過程中通過教學手段來實現的。各項英美文學研究成果應用到文學教學實踐中以深化文學教學。文學教學在培養學生的想象力和創造了方面起著關鍵的作用，這是文學所具有的永恒、內在的價值。所以應做到以下幾點：

（一）從根本上改變觀念。首先，從事教學方面的教師及專業研究人員要帶頭改變觀念。其次。讓學生從思想上認識到文學課程的重要性及必要性，糾正對英美文學餓課程偏見。

（二）改進文學教學的內容和形式。在課堂上學生處于中心地位，教師鼓勵學生自主學習、大膽創造，激發學生興趣，讓學生感受到文學作品的豐富內涵。

（三）引導學生閱讀完整的文學作品，進行獨立思考與判斷。大本分英美文學教材受到篇幅的限制，只是節選式閱讀，破壞了作品本身的完整性。不利于學生從整體上去熱愛、去體驗文學作品。只有完整認真地對文學作品進行積極主動的閱讀，才能在感受優美語句的同時促進學生的獨立思考能力，激發學生的想象力和創造力。文學是智慧的源頭,一切偉大的思想的結晶最集中的體現。文學作品的感染力是不可估量的。從欣賞到崇拜,再到皈依。寫讀書心得。讀書

貴在有自己的心得體會。文學作品可以為寫作提供題材和內容,寫作則又深化了對文學作品的理解,兩者互為補充。文學是語言的藝術,許多名家均為語言大師。學生通過閱讀,受其熏陶。英美文學課程的考核不只是閉卷考試,還包含撰寫小論文。按照上述思路組織教學,英美文學課程既是英語語言文學課,也是一門素質培養課。學生主動參與文本意義的尋找、發現、創造過程,逐步養成敏銳的感受能力,掌握嚴謹的分析方法,形成準確的表達方式。這種既有豐富的感性經驗,又有抽象的理性認識的教學過程,將豐富學生的情感,培養學生的 意志,養成健康和諧的人格。

隨著全球化趨勢的不斷加強,英語的學習已經滲透到我國每一個教育階段。而對于高校教育來說,英語語言的中所存在的文化底蘊的學習就顯得尤為重要了。然而,在當今的大學生當中普遍存在一個誤區,大多數大學生認為,對英語的學習只是單純為了修得學分或者是通過四,六級考試,以便于將來找工作。因此在他們眼中,學習英美文學只是英語專業學生的必修課,對于非英語專業的人而言是沒有多大意義的,因此他們對英美文化知之甚少。

新一代學生是我們民主的希望與未來，學生的素質教育代表著未來我們名著的整體素質。這是每一位從事素質教育研究的工作者必須深思的大問題。作為人文教育的重要組成部分，英美文學教育對學生的素質拓展有著不可忽視的意義。英美文學皎月在塑造學生人格與精神、抵御物質主義侵蝕、防止人的異化與物化、豐富人的心靈世界等方面發揮著不可估量的作用。

小結：

對于我們外語學院英語專業的同學來說，了解英美文學教育及其歷史文獻概況是非常重要的。無論是對專業或非專業的學生,英美文學的學習既包括對語言的理解,對文化的學習,也包括對大學生人文素質的教育。從而提高對語言的理解和運用能力,學會獨立而深入地思考,并從中修身養性,是十分重要的。英美概況也是一門我們將要們對的重要課程。對于這門學科，我充滿了濃厚的興趣。借次機會，我希望能夠多儲備一些關于英美概況及其教育的基本信息，對英美文學史有更較濃厚的興趣

在這學期的文獻檢索課中我學到了很多東西，為我們今后在圖書館學習、查找資料、以及將來的畢業論文提供了很大的幫助。這一次論文，我搜集到了許多關于英美文學教育的資料，并且受益匪淺。掌握了文獻檢索這個技能，我相信在以后在圖書館里，我的知識能夠得到充實，以后的學習生活會更加豐富多彩！

A summery of first two lessons

From the previous classes, we＇ve essentially get an brief idea of some basic knowledge about the United Kingdom.The main knowledge points can be concluded as follows:

The full name of the complicated country is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.Britain is no longer an imperial country, though its past has huge effects.The two main effects respectively lie in Britain＇international relationships and the make-up of the British population.UK, as a multiracial society, has the remarkable class regional and economic differences.London, the capital and the largest city, is dominant in the UK in all fields.England, the largest in geography and population of the four nations, dominant in culture and economy.A British invasions history which experiences from stages.Scotland, the most confident of its own identity, has spent a history as a unified state independent of the UK.Scotland joined the Union by agreement of the English and Scottish parliament.A brief introduction to Wales.Northern Ireland has an active cultural life but has its problems because of the conflicts and the influence of UK.Irish desires for an indepent Irish state all the time, therefore issues accurred in frequent succession.The Home Rule Bill, the East Rising of 1916 and the Sinn Fein Party made Irish independent.There exists religious conflicts between the Irish and the British because of the ethnical distinction.British government organised a partition of Ireland as a compromise.More violent campaign, IRA＇s violence and Bloody Sunday.In order to halt the terrible conflicts, Ireland and Great Britain aim to cooperate with each other and arrive at a resolution.Finally, the Good Friday Agreement was emerged.Learning first two lessons has laid a good foundation for our further study on the following lessons.I＇m looking forward to comprehend more knowledge about British politics, economy, culture and foreign relations and so on.

SIR THOMAS MALORY

(1405-1471)

The OutlineI.SIR THOMAS MALORY

II.Morte d' Arthur《亞瑟王之死》

III.Questions for Discussion

.SIR THOMAS MALORY(1405-1471)

Life: He was very rich because he inherited a

considerable estate in Warwickshire(a county in west

central England)upon his father's death in 1433 and he

seems to have quickly become drawn into the turmoil of

local politics.In 1445, he became a Member of

Parliament for his county: a rather unstable area during

this time because the usually powerful Earl of Warwick,was only in his mid-teens.A lot of political affairs in Warwickshire led Sir

Thomas into his numerous clashes with the law.From

1444 onwards, he was caught up in raids(襲擊)on the

attacks on the Duke of Buckingham and Combe Abbey

大修道院,大寺院 , as well as a number of thefts in the county

of Essex.Keen to blacken his name, Sir Thomas'

enemies branded(給某人加上污名)him “a rapist, church-

robber, extortioner(勒索者，敲詐者)and would-be

murderer".Unlucky or incompetent,Sir Thomas was certainly in prison almost

continuously throughout the 1450s, though he did

escape several times.His pardon came to him in

October 1462, followed by military service in

Northumbria.From then on he kept his head down,but may have become embroiled(使卷入)in Cook's

Conspiracy(陰謀活動)of 1468, for which he was

imprisoned.There, he turned to writing and earned

eternal fame.Sir Thomas died on 12th March 1471,probably in Newgate Prison(London).He was buried in the nearby Friary Church of St.Francis.II.Morte d' Arthur

《亞瑟王之死》

Malory's tale begins with the mysterious birth of Arthur and ends with his equally mysterious death.The central concern is with the adventures of Arthur and his famous Knights of the Round Table.The knights fight many battles and win glory, all of which is a credit to the name of King Arthur.Near the end of the story, however, the tide of good fortune turns.Launcelot, one of Arthur's knights, falls in love with Arfhur's queen, Guinever, and the lady

returns his love.One by one the other knight become discontented(使不滿), selfish, or

disillusioned(使醒悟;使不再抱幻想;使...的理想破滅).Thus weakened, the kingdom is attacked by force under Sir Mordred, Arthur's treacherous(背叛的;不忠的)nephew, and ultimately it goes down in defeat.Arthur is borne away(被...所驅使)on a barge(大型平底船)by three mysterious ladies of the Lake.Morte d‘Arthur was written in a time of transition.The feudal order was dying.By the time Malory began writing his story, soldiers were fighting with gunpowder, a middle class of

tradesmen was arising;and the practices of chivalry were being replaced(代替,取代)by a new aristocratic code.Malory, in a desire to escape the disorder and uneasiness of his day,tried to recapture lost ideals of the romantic past as recounted(敘述,講述)in his tale of noble kings, adventurous knights, and damsels(少女;閨女)in distress(悲痛;苦惱;憂傷;貧困,窮苦;危難;不幸;引起痛苦或悲痛的事物).This book is very important in English literature.Its Arthurian materials have a strong influence on literature of later centuries.III.Questions for Discussion

1.What are the features of Popular Ballads?

2.What is the story of Morte d‘Arthur ?

3.Why is Sir Thomas Malory an important writer the 15th century?
