前言 // PREFACE
《音乐舞蹈专业英语》一书是基于专门用途英语（ESP）理论，为民族地区的音乐舞蹈专业学生编写的英语教材，旨在提高学生在音乐舞蹈专业领域的英语交际能力，使其初步熟悉音乐专业和舞蹈专业英语的基础词汇，并提高基本的日常英语交际能力和综合能力。
本书的编排注重专业性、针对性、实用性和趣味性。本书内容丰富，共有18个单元，每单元包括日常英语交际、音乐/舞蹈专业知识、专业知识扩展以及英语歌曲欣赏四大部分。日常英语交际部分强调交际内容的实用性，包括打招呼、介绍、告别、致谢、邀请、祝贺、赞美等常见的主题场景，以及常用的套语、应答用语表达和相关语境的实战练习，旨在提高学生的英语口语交际能力。音乐/舞蹈专业知识部分既突出专业英语的特色又兼顾趣味性，涵盖音乐简史、舞蹈简史、音乐类型、舞蹈类型、乐器、戏曲和民族舞蹈、音乐舞蹈家、音乐节、舞蹈节、音乐会、音乐奖项等的介绍。本书采取文章和对话的形式，有助学生熟悉专业英语的基础词汇，从而为进行有效的英语交际打下良好的基础。此外，每篇课文后都有单词表，附有国际音标和中文注释，便于学生学习。知识扩展部分不仅能拓展学生的视野，还能为学生提高阅读本专业英文文献的能力或进一步深造打下基础。英语歌曲欣赏部分旨在通过英语歌曲的欣赏激发学生学习的积极性，提高其英语听力水平。
本书的编写较好地体现了民族地区高校的特色。戏曲和民族舞蹈独立成章，侧重川剧、京剧、藏族锅庄、羌族萨朗舞的学习，有助于提高学生专业英语表达能力和跨文化交际能力，从而进行有效的地方民族文化传播交流。
本书注重培养学生的外语交际能力。设计练习活动时贯彻现代专业外语教学的理念，把专业语言学习置入真实的语言场景，用角色扮演等有交际意义的语言实践活动来进行反复操练，提高学生使用英语的能力。
本书第一单元至第六单元由七一初编写，第七单元至第十二单元由晏乔编写，第十三单元至第十八单元由李晓红编写。在本书编写的过程中，我们得到了阿坝师范学院外国语学院领导的鼓励和支持，谨此表示衷心的感谢。另外还要感谢音乐学院彭湘和外国语学院苗琴老师的大力支持。希望本书能满足音乐舞蹈专业学生以及广大音乐/舞蹈爱好者的要求。由于时间仓促，加上水平有限，书中难免有疏漏，敬请批评指正。
