Wayne Trotman 于 2014 年 4 月在《EL Gazette》上发表的高级/C1 级别评论
每当我土耳其的邮箱里收到一本与 EAP 相关的书籍时,总是令人欣喜,尤其当它包含高质量的教材时,就像我在这里仔细研究的这本书一样,更是锦上添花。虽然整个系列也包含低于此级别的教材,但我对牛津高级 EAP 的评价应该能让您大致了解其内容。简而言之,该系列面向希望在研究生或博士课程中提高英语有效学习能力的学生。
该系列的布局简洁得令人钦佩:十二个单元都以预览页开始,预览页显示了相关的、且始终清晰详细的学习目标。接下来是小组讨论活动,以激发必要的思考。因此,在第一单元“行为”主题中,我们被告知该单元涵盖阅读,更具体地说,包括“识别文本中的体裁、受众、目的和视角”。讨论主题包括基于影响行为的因素(例如社会背景、教育背景和对惩罚的恐惧)的决策。其他阅读材料包括议论文、期刊文章、教科书、报告和案例研究。
这里有一个小问题:我不太清楚这本书的使用者一开始是否需要达到欧洲共同参考框架(CEFR)的C1水平,或者这本书的目的是让他们达到那些令人眼花缭乱的语言高度。
本书的每个单元都包含所有四项技能的练习,因此在第二单元“可持续性”中,学生需要进行关于交通拥堵费和积极消费者的议论文写作。这类写作活动绝非短小精悍;在段落层面提出论点之后,接下来是批判性思维,以生成和组织想法,然后分析和评估正文段落。除了学习最相关的论文类型,例如比较、因果和问题解决,还会学习更具体的写作特征,包括撰写引文、结论和总结。
正如人们所想,本书始终强调听力和笔记的学习,单元内容包括来自真实讲座的短视频片段,之后通常会进行批判性思维任务。第三单元“创造力”着眼于讲座准备、推断生词的含义、各种笔记技巧以及培养立场意识。在专门的听力部分中,还包含口头或海报形式的演示任务。
有趣的是,本书的口语部分在大多数单元中比其他技能的练习更少地被强调,占用的篇幅也更少,但这本书并没有因此而逊色,涵盖了学生讨论、研讨会、演讲和团队合作等内容。后续单元中引发讨论的主题涵盖了“责任”、“数据”和“全球化”等领域。除了技能发展之外,本书还非常重视词汇的学习,例如识别一般和专业词汇、同义词如何改变含义以及识别文本中的搭配。
如果以上内容还未让您感受到这本书的价值,那么还有更多:随附的 DVD 包含视频和音频内容,包括牛津大学学者讲座的摘录。

Review of Advanced / C1 level by Wayne Trotman, EL Gazette, April 2014
It’s always good news when an EAP-related title appears in my postbox here in Turkey, and even better when it contains top-quality material such as the one under close scrutiny here. Although the series as a whole also contains material at levels lower than this, my thoughts here about Oxford EAP Advanced should give a flavour of what’s on offer. Briefly, the series is aimed at students wishing to improve their ability to study effectively in English on either graduate or post-graduate programmes.
The layout is admirably simple: the twelve units each start with a preview page showing the relevant – and always clearly detailed – learning objectives. This is followed by group discussion activities to get the necessary thinking processes going. So in unit one, on the topic ‘Behaviour’, we are told that this unit covers reading, and more specifically, among other things, ‘identifying genre, audience, purpose and perspective in texts’. Discussion topics include decision-making on factors affecting behaviour, such as social background, education and fear of punishment. Other genres of reading include argumentative texts, journal articles, textbooks, reports and case studies.
One little quibble here: it wasn’t really clear to me whether users of this book would at the outset need to be at C1 on the CEFR, or whether the aim was to take them up to those linguistically dizzy heights.
Each unit in this title contains work on all four skills, so unit two, ‘Sustainability’, has students engaging in discursive essay writing on traffic congestion charges and motivated consumers. Such writing activities are by no means brief; following stages on presenting arguments at paragraph level, there then comes critical thinking in order to generate and organise ideas, and then analysing and evaluating a main body paragraph. Along with work on the most relevant essay types, such as comparison, cause–effect and problem–solution, more specific features are looked at, including writing up citations, conclusions and summaries.
As one would imagine, listening and note-taking are emphasised throughout, and units involve short video-based extracts from authentic lectures, generally followed by critical thinking tasks. Unit three, ‘Creativity’, looks at preparing for a lecture, inferring the meaning of unknown vocabulary, various note-taking techniques plus developing an awareness of stance. Also included in sections devoted to listening are tasks on presenting in both verbal or poster format.
Curiously, speaking in this title is rather less emphasised and occupies less space within most units than work on other skills, but the book is none the worse for this, covering student discussions, seminars, presentations and teamwork. Topics inviting discussion in later units cover areas such as ‘Responsibility’, ‘Data’ and ‘Globalisation’. Along with skills development there is a good deal of emphasis on vocabulary in the form of identifying general and specialised senses, how synonyms alter meaning and recognising collocations in a text.
If the above hasn’t already signalled to you the value of this title, then there’s more: the accompanying DVD contains both video and audio content, including extracts from lectures delivered by Oxford University academics.
Oxford EAP (B1+) won the runner-up prize for the English-Speaking Union (ESU) HRH The Duke of Edinburgh English Language Book Awards 2013.
The judges commented, “Clear and professional in design…a comprehensive and effective course that will help both learners and teachers to achieve their academic goals.”
The ESU is a charity and membership organisation promoting education across the world. The annual awards recognise the best ELT book published each year.
