论大学英语精读教学的生态化

大学英语精读课的教学存在着不少不合理和需要改进的地方,所以英语精读课的教学模式一直是许多教师不断探索的课题。在英语教学中,一些老师借鉴生态学原理,从生态学的视角来分析大学英语课堂,强调个人选择和参与,崇尚创造性、差异性、多样性和建构性,主张教师与学生之间应建立一种平等的对话关系,呼唤构建以学生为本的互动式课堂。这种建立在生态理念基础上的课堂生态观对英语精读课堂教学具有一定的指导意义。     

All Children Can Learn To Read: Critical Care for the Prevention of Reading Failure

In this article, we present the position that students with special needs, regardless of causation, share the same basic needs for literacy instruction. What sets special needs learners apart from higher performing learners is that systematic, explicit instruction appears to be critical rather than merely beneficial and that special needs students require more instructional time and opportunity to practice reading. The need for greater explicitness and time intensity does not, however, change the content of what composes good literacy instruction. We take the position that general education should maintain primary responsibility for literacy education for all children, with special educators and reading specialists providing instructional support and, if necessary, additional instructional intensity and practice opportunities. Obstacles to providing quality literacy instruction are examined, and a school-based case study in which these obstacles have been largely overcome are presented.

Assessing and Predicting Small-Group Literacy Instruction in Early Childhood Classrooms

Research Findings: The present study assessed the extent to which early childhood educators utilized small-group literacy instruction and explored factors potentially associated with the use of this evidence-based practice. The classroom activities of 83 early childhood educators were observed in the fall and spring, and videos were coded to calculate time spent in small-group literacy instruction. Educators completed questionnaires indicating classroom adult:child ratios, literacy beliefs, and feelings of self-efficacy. Classroom Assessment Scoring System scores for classroom organization and instructional support measured the quality of classroom management and instructional interactions, respectively. On average, educators provided 11.4 min (SD = 10.6) of small-group literacy instruction a day. It is notable that many educators provided little or no small-group literacy instruction. Negative binomial regression analyses indicated that educators with better classroom management, higher quality instructional interactions, and lower adult:child ratios were more likely to use small-group literacy instruction. Educators’ beliefs and feelings of self-efficacy were not associated with the use of small-group literacy instruction. Practice or Policy: Educators may be better able to provide small-group literacy instruction in contexts affording low adult:child ratios and high levels of classroom management and instructional support, all of which are malleable factors that can be changed via policy or professional development.     

The Classroom Behavior of Teachers During Compensatory Reading Instruction1

Abstract

This article focuses on the classroom behavior of 135 teachers in compensatory reading programs (grades 2, 4, 6) in twenty-one cities. A special observation instrument was designed to categorize teacher behavior during reading instruction and reliability data are reported for the forty-six observers who were trained to use this instrument. Each class was visited on nine different occasions for 15 minutes of coding during each visit, and data are reported in terms of the average amount of time spent in each mode and content activity across the teachers in these programs.     

Effective Classroom Instruction: Implications of Child Characteristics by Reading Instruction Interactions on First Graders' Word Reading Achievement

Too many children fail to learn how to read proficiently with serious consequences for their overall well-being and long term success in school. This may be because providing effective instruction is more complex than many of the current models of reading instruction portray; there are child characteristic by instruction (CXI) interactions. Here we present efficacy results for a randomized control field trial of the Individualizing Student Instruction (ISI) intervention, which relies on dynamic system forecasting intervention models to recommend amounts of reading instruction for each student, taking into account CXI interactions that consider his or her vocabulary and reading skills. The study, conducted in seven schools with 25 teachers and 396 first graders, revealed that students in the ISI intervention classrooms demonstrated significantly greater reading skill gains by spring than did students in control classrooms. Plus, they were more likely to receive differentiated reading instruction based on CXI interaction guided recommended amounts than were students in control classrooms. The precision with which students received the recommended amounts of each type of literacy instruction, the distance from recommendation, also predicted reading outcomes.     

重视朗读指导 提升课堂实效

生动的语文教学课堂离不开精彩的朗读。朗读作为一项重要的语文实践内容,它既是学生学习语文的重要手段,又是学生学习过程中追求的目标之一。在实际教学中,教师要教给学生适合的朗读技巧和方法,才能让学生真正读懂文字、读好文字,同时也能够使学生亲近朗读,提高朗读的实效性,让语文课堂书声琅琅。     

初中语文阅读教学中批判性思维的培养策略

批判性思维在语文阅读教学中,对学生创新精神和创造能力的培养起到关键性作用。在阅读教学中培养批判性思维,将批判性思维运用到阅读教学中,并且提供批判性思维的培育方法显得尤为关键。在教学中,我们要结合初中语文阅读教学、批判性思维及初中生思维特点,找到它们的连结点。

Computer-Assisted Tutoring in Success for All: Reading Outcomes for First Graders

Abstract

This article presents a randomized experiment evaluating a computer-assisted tutoring program. The software program, Alphie's Alley, provides reading tutors with assessment and planning tools and performance support. It provides students with animated presentations and engaging activities. In a yearlong study involving 25 schools using the Success for All reading program, 412 low-achieving first graders were randomly assigned to be tutored daily for 20 min with or without Alphie's Alley. Tutors were also randomly assigned. On individually administered reading measures, controlling for pretests, there were no significant differences overall, but among students with tutors rated as “fully implementing,” those who experienced Alphie's Alley scored significantly better on three of four measures. These results suggest that if well implemented, technology that enhances the performance of tutors has promise in improving the reading performance of at-risk children.     

寓素质教育于大学英语课堂教学之中

推行素质教育是当前社会关注的一个热点话题，大学外语教学也是素质教育的一部分，大学英语课堂是实施素质教育的重要场所。如何将素质教育寓于大学英语课堂教学之中，首先要提高教师的自身素质，这是搞好英语教学和素质教育的前提；其次就是要将素质教育贯穿于大学英语教学之中，既要注重对大学生外语基础知识和基本技能的培养，又要加强对大学生思想、化素质的培养，通过教与学，使大学生的素质得到提高。     

Enhancing Science Literacy for All Students With Embedded Reading Instruction and Writing-to-Learn Activities

Reading and writing in science have been frequently maligned but infrequently studied since the 1960s move toward hands-on science. Current interest in the printed-based language arts in science is supported by contemporary educational reforms and the realization that simply doing more hands-on activities may not improve meaningful learning. Students need opportunities to consolidate their science experiences and to contrast their understandings with the interpretations of the science establishment. Science literacy means that students learn about the "big" ideas of science and how to inform and persuade others about these ideas. This article attempts to sketch a substantive framework for using science reading and science writing with deaf students based on research and informed practice with hearing students.

初读:打好阅读教学的第一根基桩简

初读环节是整体感知课文、理解课文的基础,是培养良好语感的重要途径,也是学生在校学习要获得的一种最基本的语文能力。在初读教学中,要从整体观念出发,引导学生从了解全文内容入手,对课文有个初步的整体印象,把握文章构架,理解字词,为细读课文打好基础。可根据文体的不同、教学对象的差异,在读前提出明确的初读要求,让学生边读边思考,不能过于仓促,要关注全体学生,不能流于形式,要认真地检查落实。     

英语学习活动观的阅读课堂教学实践

《普通高中英语课程标准(2017年版)》倡导“六要素整合”的英语学习活动观。“英语阅读教学的综合视野”所倡导的“综合而有侧重”的实践原则可作为英语学习活动观的落地途径。英语阅读课堂活动应以探究主题意义为阅读课堂活动设计的出发点和归宿,遵循以下原则:“以出为入”,主线问题促进思维培养;“量入为出”,聚焦文本内容加工之取舍;“以小见大”,上位问题切入意义探究。本研究基于课例提出以下三条英语阅读课堂教学活动设计策略:整合文本内容,重构语篇脉络;尊重自主生成,用好支架策略;聚焦活动重点,促进素养转化。

语文阅读教学要重视读

语文阅读课姓"读"不姓"讲"。传统的语文教育思想体现了语文学习的基本理念,即读写吟诵,其中读是第一要素。阅读教学要重视感受、体验、咀嚼、涵泳。这是一个不断领悟、吸收、内化的过程。这一切,其基础在于阅读,抛开阅读,相当于学习语文成了无本之木、无水之源。     

语文阅读课堂与原形阅读理论

教材、学生、教师三方各以自己的方式决定着语文阅读课堂的生成。课文是一个相对完整的语文教材基本单位。学生的阅读思维可分为两种:原形阅读——顺着文思流动的方向而流动的阅读思维;超原形阅读——先触摸作者文思,然后跳出作者文思,根据自己的知识经验对课文某一局部或某一方面作思考的阅读思维。教师掌握“原形阅读理论”对于设计阅读教学,提高课堂效率会有直接的帮助。     

信息不对称与课堂教学

可以从不同的角度来研究教学，课堂教学效果的好坏既与教学过程中经验和技巧的运用有关，更与教师与学生之间的信息对称程度有关，交流过程中信息量的大小和信息质量的高低是课堂教学好坏的重要标志之一；教师的信息量和知识集大于学生且不完全重叠（也就是信息不对称），是取得良好课堂教学效果的起码条件。随着现代信息技术和网络技术的迅猛发展，相当一部分信息和知识的获取在教师和学生之间几乎是同步共享的，在这一方面，教师已经没有什么优势可言，要保持教师与学生之间的信息不对称和知识集不完全重叠，只能依靠教师的独到见解，创新观点以及独特的分析问题和解决问题的方法与能力来实现，因此，持续学习，勇于探索，不断创新就成了对一名合格教师的最基本要求。
