3.1 teaching material's choice
Computer professional English teaching material is more, different
level.Choosea suitable teaching material is the basis of good teaching results, select the teaching material has the following several principles:
(1) https://www.wendangku.net/doc/af12101539.html,puter professional English is to introduce the computer professional courses involve words and knowledge, so the teaching material content should be comprehensive, as far as possible at least to include most of the content of computer professional courses, such as computer principle, digital logic, data structure, database, operating system, computer network, software engineering, programming language, and so on.Purpose is to grasp the vocabulary related to, so in theory does not require too deep, is usually introduces properties, in fact many course content in the current computer English teaching materials are derived from a course of English teaching material content, or is a roundup.
(2) timeliness.Because computer technology is developing very rapidly, and new technology market cycles are getting shorter, to enable students to master new technology and new utility software, you must consider the efficiency of the teaching material content and to keep pace with The Times.
(3) the applicability.Because the computer professional English teaching material is more, different levels, including junior college for two years, three years of higher vocational education, vocational colleges, such as undergraduate level, the content of the corresponding depth, with different emphasis.Now computer related majors are also more and more at the same time, such as computer science and technology, software engineering, network engineering, information security, software testing, etc., or the direction of the different emphasis on curriculum content is also different, so according to the different teaching object choice suitable textbooks, of course, can also selectively choose the content of the teaching material.
3.2 appropriate added new content
Due to the time lag of textbook compilation, some practical new technology will not be included in the teaching material, and the computer is a practical strong discipline, the students are anxious to know the new computer technology development and application of practical technology and new software functions, in particular, so according to the current technical development, appropriate complement some introduce the content of the new technology of the computer.Such as the teaching of the author in recent years, replenish the ASP. Net, IP V6, hyper-threading (the Hyper - Threading), Dual - Core Processor, DDR Memory practical new technology such as articles, is very popular with students.According to experience, students are very happy to know of the new technology, especially the mainstream technology has been applied.
In addition, most of the theoretical content of teaching materials is stronger, to introduce some basic practical operation is very few, such as for CMOS setup, the specific meaning of the name of each key on the keyboard, software, basic English, such basic operation term, there are very few, even some students graduate also don't know when the "Ctrl" and "Alt" key and the practical details of which English word meaning, "professional have no common sense".Sowhen
teaching, should complement these most basic content.
Teaching should also be appropriate to teach the science and technology English reading, translation and writing of the basic knowledge and skills, enable students to translate related technical articles, skilled and can largely be general English writing scientific papers, in particular to master the writing of English abstract of scientific papers.

6 assignments and assessment
The usual homework and examination is an important part of course, because of the many computer English teaching materials in the book provides the reference of the text and the translation practice answers, so quite a few students' assignments in textbook used to copy the answer, so that on the one hand, the students do not have any effect, on the other hand also interfere with the teacher to understand exactly the situation of students' learning.This can be used in a flexible way of class homework and examination.As computer for the extracurricular English audio data provided to the students, in class to practice listening, use next class a few minutes to test its effect.Again as in the last minutes of a class arrangement in-class fast translation and writing, is a good way to cultivate the students' ability of fast reading and writing.The author's practice has proved that the way the effect is very good, students are also welcome.
