2、为使学生掌握必要的读报知识，本书在“背景知识”中尽量结合课文，介绍重要的 并时常见诸报端的人物、党派和组织机构等，并举例说明其重要性。4 .为使学生对新闻写作有一个大致的认识，加深对课文的理解，编者较系统地说明标 题的若干特点，对新闻体裁的分类、导语和写作特点及常语等做了简介。三、教学容英美报刊选读为省开课程。1 .授课容：重点为第 1、3、4、5、6、8、13、15、17、19、20、21、24、28、30 课（共 15课），其它容主要供自学。2 .课时安排：a）学员自学：2学时/周，共30学时学完15课。b） 面授辅导：4学时/次，共4次。每学时辅导一课，最后一学时复习。3.作业：共四次，
