一、教材分析
（一）教材的地位及作用
1、新目标英语教材概述
《新目标英语》教材的语言教育理念是：知识用于行动强调“语言应用”，培养“创新、实践能力”，发展“学习策略”。 它采用任务型语言教学（Tas-based Language Teaching）模式。教材中每单元都设计一个或几个与该单元话题有关的任务，让学生在完成任务的过程中，使用英语获取信息，用英语进行交流，培养运用英语解决实际问题的能力。《新目标英语》有以下几个特色:
（一）图文并茂。翻开课本，你都能够在每一页上看到一幅副充满情趣，幽默生动的画面，令你眼睛一亮。
（二）实用性强。每个单元的选材都于学生的学习和生活，与学生的年龄特征、认知结构、生活经验密切联系。
（三）注重交际。针对中国学生学英语普遍存在的“聋哑病”，教材设计了大量的听说读写材料。
（四）词汇量大。第一册有词汇700个左右，第二册约450个，第三册约450个，第四册约400个， 第五册约500个，合计2500个。这一点正好达到《英语课程标准》5级的要求。
