虽然有不少学生报读了我们HFI学术英语（EAP）课程，但依然有不少学生家长很想探究一下我们学术英语课堂。今天，小编就以“案例分析”环节为例，为各位家长展现一下我们学术英语的课堂教学。Casestudy（案例研究）是学术英语学习中必备的一项技能，是一种从整体上来处理一个课题的方法，它通过详细地调查一件实例来了解这一实例所属的整类个体的情况。我们的EAP同学们是如何进行案例研究的呢？今天将分享EAP同学针对不同两个案例写的研究报告。以中级课程里的Environment话题为例。在每个话题结束后，会列举出几个不同国家在环保方面的现状和概况，然后学生研究各案例后选择其中之一，并为所选案例的国家的环保工作提出短期及长期的解决方案—— Case study A: Fire risk Location: Southern Australia Geography: heavily forested areas Country GDP rank in world: #12 Potential causes of fire: drought， human activity， global warming Frequency: common during summer months Effects: loss of life; destruction of homes and other buildings; destruction of habitats for wild animals; pollution from smoke Case study B: Dust storms Location: Mauritania， North Africa Geography: mainly desert Country GDP rank in world: #154 Potential causes: wind， drought， farming practices， deforestation Frequency: until early 1960s about two per year; since 1960s， 80 per year. Effects: loss of fertile soil; health dangers (breathing problems); poor visibility for transport 我们学生Micheal从以上两个案例最后选定了Dust Storms，并根据案例所提供的数据及信息完成了其个人的研究报告： In order to mitigate the problems which dust storms can bring， there are several short and long-term strategies which can be adopted. A range of policies designed to combat these problems exist at local， national and international levels. As well as looking at these issues in general， this report will make brief recommendations in the case of Mauritania， where dust storm has been a major problem in recent years. Dust storms frequently involve millions of people at the risk of health dangers in Mauritania. The air is polluted by dust and sand that this may causes breathing problems to people. Fertile soil is becoming less and less because of the violent wind. The visibility of transport is especially poor， which is the result of the floating dust and sand in the air. In the case of dust storm is unpredictable in Mauritania， it is important for local government to develop monitoring systems in order to gather relevant data. However， once dust storm strikes， the most important short-term response is to warn citizens toprepare for the disaster. Early-warning systems can display warning timely and effectively. This development can win more time for the citizens hiding from the dust storm which is coming. As the citizens can be warned in time， they can avoid from larger financial losses. This function makes early-warning systems highly cost-effective. Since dust storms tend to reoccur in the same areas of Mauritania， long-term solutions are also necessary. Replanting suitable trees does not have to be expensive. This voluntary indeed should be encouraged by government. In fact， the dust storms emerge about twice per year. However， the frequency become 80 times per year after 1960. This is the result of deforestation. Generally， encouraging responsible farming practices may be the most suitable long-term solution for Mauritania. As aresult of this report， the two following recommendations for Mauritania are made. First， develop monitoring systems and install early-warning systems as short-term solutions. Second， replanting suitable trees and encouraging responsible farming practices as long-term measures， to ensure that Mauritania can always face its dust storms. 通过“案例分析”，学生不仅获取了更多关于不同领域的知识，也强化了思辨、分析及用学术英语完成报告的能力。最后，小编再次安利一下我们HFI学术英语2017春季班的招生程序——HFI·EAP2017春季班招生HFI·EAP课程说明会暨入学测试时间2016年10月23日（周日）10:00 – 11:402016年11月27日（周日）10:00 – 11:40参加对象小学六年级、初中英语优秀学生及急需提高学术英语能力的高中生地点广州市天河区中山大道西1号华师附中国际部（奥校楼）报名方式登录HFI官网www.gdhfi.com填写报名表或致电020-38630695转112/116
