Production of New Print and Video Materials for College English Courses

东京大学驹场分校的英语系自1993年以来一直在运行一个新的通用英语课程，目标是驹场的几乎所有学生（每年约3，600人）。本系的教材包括多篇文章的选集和录像带。最初的两本选集和录像带都是由本系的教员制作的。在这笔资助下，我们：（1）出版了第二本选集，供一年级学生使用（《英语世界II》，东京大学出版社，1998年;（2）出版了二年级学生选集的第二版，即半更新版（The Expanding Universe of Enflish，Limited Komaba Edition，The University of Tokyo Press，1997）;（3）制作了新的视频材料以配合（1）;脚本包含在报告中。（4）制作新的视频材料与（2）配合;脚本包括在报告中。（5）进行了一次测试，要求一年级学生和二年级学生回答相同的问题。这是为了衡量学生在进入大学后一年内的英语进步或下降情况。结果已列入本报告。（6）请第一届“毕业生”写下他们对该计划的感受。他们的一些回应也包含在报告中。《英语世界II》在普通读者中得到了广泛的阅读，我们希望这本书能帮助相当多的普通人，而不仅仅是大学生，提高他们的英语水平。

The Department of English of the University of Tokyo, Komaba, has been running a new program in general English since 1993, aimed at almost all the students (about 3,600 each year) in Komaba. The teaching materials consist of an anthology of various essays, and videos to go with it. The two initial anthologies, as well as video materials, were made by faculty members of the Department.With the aid of this grant, we have :(1)published the second, entirely renewed edition of the anthology for first-year students (The Universe of English II,The University of Tokyo Press, 1998 ;(2)published the second, half-renewed edition of the anthology for second-year students (The Expanding Universe of Enflish, Limited Komaba Edition, The University of Tokyo Press, 1997) ;(3)made new video materials to go with(1) ; the scripts are included in the report.(4)made new video materials to go with(2) ; the scripts are included in the report.(5)conducted a test, in which first-year students and second-year students were required to answer the same questions. This was to gauge how students'English improves-or deteriorates-in one year after entering the college. The results are included in the report.(6)asked students who were the first "graduates" of this program to write down what they felt about the program. Some of their responses are included in the report.The Universe of English II has been widely read among general readers, and we hope the book is helping a considerable number of people in general, not just college students, improve their English.
