Reading is one of the four important skills in English as a secoind or foreign language. However, many teachers often focus attention on grammatical or lexical issues like tenses, sentence structures or verbal idioms, To students reading is the main reason why they learn English.

This paper aims to give an analysis and my own empirical experience of the teaching of extensive reading.

Rural Location and Academic Success—Remarks on Research,Contextualisation and Methodology

In this article the focus is on the relationship between rural location and education outcomes, a field that has not received enough attention either by educational authorities or by educational researchers. Main goals are to argue for an increased focus on rural education and for the need for contextualisation of educational research in general. Research on issues such as school size, local adaption, population composition, parental involvement and rural approaches to learning are presented in order to map significant areas in rural education research. Perspectives focusing on compositional and contextual effects explaining spatial variations in academic success are highlighted. In addition, an outline of some methodological consequences following from the latter goal is provided.     

Politeness Language in English and Chinese

Politeness is a very important topic in modern linguistics. With the development of the study of linguistics, a lot of people lay the emphasis on the study of politeness language. It can be observed in all languages and cultures as a social phenomenon, which plays an important role in individuals’ linguistic behavior. But due to different culture, different politeness principles and other reasons, different peo ple have different understandings about the definition of politeness, and they deal with politeness in different ways. Through different study background, principle and theory, this paper focuses on the politeness language in English and Chinese culture caused the differences. Politeness languages are mainly expressed in the forms of address, greeting, congratulation, appreciation and apology . The biggest difference between English and Chinese is that the Chinese system is profusion and complicated, but the English one is quite simple. Age, income, marriage and religion, etc. are taboos in English and people in western countries like to talk about weather when they meet each other; greeting in Chinese almost includes different things about one’s life. Appreciation in Chinese is not used frequently. Peo ple do not often say "thank you" to their families or friends. Appreciation in English can be used among families, friends, and colleagues and so on. At the end of this thesis, a conclusion is drawn; limitations and some suggestions of the research are stated!

Education or Service? Remarks on teaching and learning in the entrepreneurial university

German universities come under fire: in contemporary political discourse they are considered to be antiquated, inefficient and unfit for international competition. Accordingly, the German government implemented an extensive program of reforms. Following the so‐called ‘Sorbonne Declaration’, the universities shall become part of an European higher education system with comparable and compatible structures. With the focus on the field of academic teaching and learning, this essay discusses the way of defining these activities in a new, entrepreneurial way, and the implications of this process within the university. The reflections lead to the thesis that the actual reforms ask for new forms of critique, because the neoliberal offer of marketable ways to teach and to learn makes the enduring asymmetry of power relations within the educational field invisible, endangers the democratic character of the university and trivializes education.

在日常交流中,“礼貌”起着不可忽视的作用,由于“礼貌”的重要性,该现象也日渐受到语用学家们的关注。其中最著名的理论就是Brown和Levinson的“面子论”以及Leech的礼貌原则。礼貌的语用研究,有助于提高人们的交流技巧,从而营造一个良好的交际氛围,创造一个和谐融洽的环境。     

中西文化背景下礼貌原则普遍性研究

礼貌是人类社会交往中的一个重要方面,在跨文化交际中起着重要的作用。Brown和Levinson的普遍礼貌模式的核心为面子理论。尽管由于文化的差异,造成不同文化中语言礼貌的差异,但文化差异中也蕴涵礼貌原则普遍性。研究语言中的礼貌原则普遍性有利于不同文化的融合。     

Face Threatening Acts and Negotiated Power

从邀请行为中看礼貌

对礼貌现象的研究常见于对拒绝行为和邀请行为的分析中。汉语的邀请方式比英语要更曲折,多样,表面上与西方的方式不同而原则却类似,顾曰国仿效Leech的提出了汉语的五个礼貌原则。本文对比了英语和汉语中邀请行为的礼貌特征、表现形式和内在原则,结论是原则一样,只是表现形式不同,这一结论对跨文化交际有指导意义,意味着学习不同礼貌方式并不会造成基本的价值观冲突。
