Any one who is a regular reader of the Economist must be an intellectual whose English and knowledge level goes top of the league table.According to one survey conducted by Taiwan English Magazine Service, only 0.3% of the college teachers in Taiwan are able to read the prestigious weekly , a percentage that is the lowest among the industrialized countries earning more than 10, 000 $ per capita.What a shame on Taiwan.Language is nothing but a tool. All the knowledge about world politics and history, finance and business, and international trends on science, technology, medicine, and culture, are keys to understanding the contents. The people with a low English level cannot read it; those with knowledge not broad or profound enough cannot grasp it.The subscribers to the printed edition of the Economist are entitled to free audio edition available via e-mail from the Economist. You can improve your listening comprehension as well as make progresses in reading ability by attending the course taught by the demanding teacher who has been famous in the fields of press, publishing, and English education in Taiwan.上課內容:本課程挑選經濟學人週刊當週最新一期論說類與深入評析類的文章4-5篇(看文章長短而定)研讀，永遠不重複。經濟學人週刊的措詞用語、文句段落結構與論點之推演方式，皆為英語世界的上上選，對學員的英文程度與知識程度皆構成挑戰，也是刺激學員大幅提升實力的利器。台灣為國民所得10000美元以上國家中，該週刊訂戶與零售總數占人口比例最低者；而且依台英社調查統計，台灣每1000位大學教師中僅有3位具有閱讀The Economist 的英文與知識程度，可見台灣知識界還有長遠的改進空間.聽力部分:經濟學人週刊提供長期訂戶語音檔，可以藉以練習聽力，一舉兩得。青服社不負責代客訂閱該週刊，請學員自行接洽代理進口商台英社行銷主任江京玲 02-66283323。選修建議:本課程學員的英文與知識程度必須在一定程度以上，上課才可吸收。最好具備IBT托福103、IELTS閱讀7-7.5、英檢高級、多益940以上。講義列印:請提前於青服社館前教室高級英文班廷建士老師專欄下載列印。若講義尚貼上，請電02-23819165轉 249 友暉 245惠卿246郁莉 241梁組長時數:每梯次7周, 每週2.5小時; 上課日期與收費依正式簡章為準。推薦辭典工具書與參考書籍一般字典辭典英漢大辭典 （東華）英漢大辭典 （文馨）英美中學程度以上: MACMILLAN DICTIONARY OF ENGLISH FOR ADVANCED LEARNERS (書林代理) 程度差者可購新出版之英漢版COLLINS COBUILD ENGLISH DICTIONARY FOR ADVANCED LEARNERS （書林代理）CAMBRIDGE ADVANCED LEARNERS DICTIONARY （書林代理）LONGMAN DICTIONARY OF CONTEMPORARY ENGLISH 台灣朗文程度差者可購新出版之英漢版 LONGMAN DICTIONARY OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND CULTURE OXFORD ADVANCED LEARNERS DICTIONARY OF CURRENT ENGLISH（敦煌代理）TIMES-CHAMBERS DICTIONARY OF FOREIGN WORDS AND PHRASES 英美大學程度以上MERRIAM WEBSTERS COLLEGIATE DICTIONARY （書林）THE RANDOM HOUSE DICTIONARY OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE (THE UNABRIDGED EDITION) （書林）法漢詞典 （文橋）西漢詞典 （文橋）義華詞典 （思高）德漢詞典 （中央圖書供應社）英和中辭典 （旺文社）英馬華辭典 （普及出版社）語言與字源學類語言與修辭學詞典 （書林）縱橫英文時空英文字詞來源的文化故事 （書林）OXFORD COMPANION TO ENGLISH LANGUAGEOxford Dictionary of English Etymology (Oxford University Press, 書林代理)Chambers Dictionary of Etymology (Chambers) Collins Dictionary of Latin plus Grammar (書林代理)常識與百科知識類現代用語百科 （書泉）世界年鑑 （中央通訊社）OXFORD REFERENCE ENCYCLOPEDIATHE CAMBRIDGE FACTFINDERTHE CONCISE COLUMBIA ENCYCLOPEDIATHE NEW AMERICAN DESK ENCYCLOPEDIA THE WORLD ALMANAC人物傳記類THE CAMBRIDGE BIOGRAPHICAL ENCYCLOPEDIATHE ECONOMIST BIOGRAPHIC DICTIONARY政治與國際關係類現代用語百科國際關係單冊（書泉）政治學用語 （張明貴，五南）國際關係用語 （張明貴，五南）中國大陸政治術語 （香港中文大學）A DICTIONARY OF MODERN POLITICS DAVID ROBERTSONA DICTIONARY OF POLITICAL THOUGHT ROGER SCRUTONTHE AMERICAN POLITICAL DICTIONARY JACK PLANOTHE DICTIONARY OF WORLD POLITICS GRAHAM EVANS財經與商業貿易類企業概論 （華泰出版）金融機構與市場 （麥格羅希爾出版）會計學 （鄭丁旺 ）經濟學 （陸民仁）貨幣銀行學 (林鐘雄)財政學要義 (林華德)國際金融小辭典 (方耀, 李榮謙-金融研訓中心)證券與投資辭典 (盧飛山, 三民)金融新聞小辭典 (金融研訓中心)國際金融貿易大辭典 (中華徵信所)金融財經貿易英漢辭典 (商務)經濟學新辭典 (三民)英漢雙解商業英語辭典 (朗文)經濟學辭典 （貓頭鷹）POCKET ECONOMIST 西洋文學與文化研究類西洋文學用語手冊 （張錯，書林）西洋文學概論 （書林）西方正典 （立緒）世界名著導讀 （志文）現代歐美文學概述 （書林）關鍵詞（麥田）BACKGROUND OF EUROPEAN LITERATURE BOOKMANA HANDBOOK TO LITERATURE MACMILLANBENETS READERS ENCYCLOPEDIA OF AMERICAN LITERATUREMERRIAM WEBSTERS ENCYCLOPEDIA OF LITERATURETHE OXFORD COMPANION TO ENGLISH LITERATURETHE READERS COMPANION TO WORLD LITERATURE MENTOR BOOK歷史與地理類世界史大辭典 （遠流）外國地名譯名 （商務）活用歷史手冊 (遠流) CHAMBERS DICTIONARY OF WORLD HISTORYDICTIONARY OF HISTORICAL TERMS CHRIS COOKHISTORICAL TABLES S.
