师专英语精读课应重视学生阅读欣赏能力的培养

大学英语精读课是一门英语语言的基础课程,它承担了传授英语语言的基础知识和培养学生听、说、读、写四方面语言技能的任务。在师专英语精读课教学中,由于大部分学生来自农村,英语基础知识较差,因而,语音、词汇和语法往往是教师主要讲练的内容。在课堂上,教师往往重视学生语言形式是否正确或使用是否流     

试论大学英语精读课前导入环节的基本原则以及方法

课前导入环节是教师在授课之前通过一系列的教学活动组织学生进行必要的心理准备的过程。大学英语精读课前导入环节就好比是学生在体育课上做的课前热身训练,学生经过良好地热身,为下一阶段的学习做好充分的准备。笔者认为一堂英语精读课能否上好,很大程度上取决于课堂导入环节的成功与否。作为一个教学活动,课堂导入环节需要遵循一定的基本原则,进行教学活动的方法也是多种多样的。本文中,笔者将对大学英语精读课前导入环节的基本原则以及方法进行阐述。     

大学英语精读课前导入活动的设计原则与活动形式

笔者在10年的大学英语精读教学中体会到,没有有效课堂导入直接讲解单词和课文的精读课堂往往气氛沉闷,而形式单一枯燥的精读课前导入以教师讲解为主,学生参与的机会很少。如果能在精读课开始前精心设计一个导入过程,以引导学生了解与课文相关话题为目的,进行以听说为主的训练,     

Effects of video-based flipped class instruction on subject reading motivation

Video-based flipped class instruction can strengthen the learning motivation of students. The effectiveness of flipped class instruction on teaching effectiveness and subject satisfaction has been evaluated previously. The present study aims to examine the impact of two aspects of subject reading motivation. A total of 100 secondary school students were recruited from 4 classes of 25 students (ie, video-based flipped Mathematics class, traditional Mathematics class, video-based flipped Liberal Studies (LS) class and traditional LS class) in two local secondary schools. The same teachers taught both the traditional and video-based flipped classes in their subject. The students filled in questionnaires which measured: motivation for general reading; motivation for subject reading; academic subject satisfaction and perceived teaching effectiveness of the teachers. Analysis of covariance controlling for motivation for general reading revealed that students in the flipped classes reported significantly lower motivation for subject reading including reading curiosity, reading importance and reading compliance (t (1,98) = 10.52, p < 0.001; t (1,98) = 7.68, p < 0.001; t (1,98) = 20.39, p < 0.001, respectively). However, students in the flipped classes reported significantly higher satisfaction and teaching effectiveness than those in the traditional classes (t (1,98) = −15.61. p < 0.001; t (1,98) = −11.98, p <0.001, respectively). A partial correlation controlling for motivation for general reading indicated that motivation for subject reading was negatively associated with academic subject satisfaction and perceived teaching effectiveness of teachers (rs ranged from −0.51 to −0.62, p < 0.001). Video-based flipped class instruction was not only related to increased academic subject satisfaction and teaching effectiveness but also associated with lower motivation for subject reading. These findings suggest that video-based flipped class instruction had limited capability to strengthen the learning motivation of students.     

What kind of role should English teachers play in the intensive reading class

The traditional teaching mode of intensive reading has so many shortcomings. So many college students have difficulties in reading foreign books and communicating with foreigners directly after 8 or 12 years of foreign language learning. English teachers can help students to learn more effectively in intensive reading class through three parts, these parts are before reading, in reading and after reading. Using the right teaching methods, teachers can effectively improve the students' reading abilities.     

接受美学视野下的生成式阅读教学

接受美学理论对阅读教学的指导意义在于：确立学生的阅读主体地位，激发学生的想像和创造性思维，强化学生的阅读期待、反思和批判。生成式阅读教学是从师生各自的前理解结构出发而达成的一种视界融合。它承认理解的历史性，尊重成见，因而尊重学生的现时状况，并以这一层面去生成，从而达到每个学生最大可能的发展，这是新课程倡导的重要教学理念。

Using Culture Penetration and Culture Aside in Teaching Culture in College English Intensive Reading Course

Teaching culture is an indispensable part of English teaching.Teachers should teach western cultures along with teaching linguistic knowledge itself.In college English intensive reading class due to heavy workload,tight schedule and large classes,culture teaching,to certain degree.,seems hard to be realized.In this article,the authors introduce two practical,flexible and user-friendly methods: culture penetration and culture aside which can help teachers to teach culture in intensive reading class so that to improve students’ intercultural awareness and competence.     

Adjusting content to individual student needs: Further evidence from an in-service teacher training program

Adapting instruction to the specific needs of each student is a promising strategy to improve overall academic achievement. In this article, I study the impact of an intensive in-service teacher training program on reading skills offered to kindergarten teachers in France. The program modifies the lesson content and encourages teachers to adapt instruction to student needs by dividing the class according to initial achievement. While assessing impact is usually difficult due to the presence of ability bias and teacher selection, I show that in this context, a value-added model that controls for school and teacher characteristics constitutes a legitimate strategy to estimate the treatment effect. Results show that all students benefiting from the program progressed in reading skills at the end of the year. Besides, weaker students progressed faster on less-advanced competences (such as letter recognition), while stronger students improved their reading skills. This suggests that teachers adjusted content to students’ needs. Finally, a cost-effectiveness analysis reveals that the program is approximately three times more cost-effective than reducing class size in France.     

Effects of reciprocal teaching on reading comprehension of low‐achieving adolescents. The importance of specific teacher skills

Low‐achieving adolescents are known to have difficulties with reading comprehension. This article discusses how reciprocal teaching can improve low‐achieving adolescents' reading comprehension in whole‐classroom settings (as opposed to small‐group settings) and to what extent intervention effects are dependent on teacher behaviour. Over the course of 1 year, experimental teachers (n = 10) were given extensive training and coaching aimed at using principles of reciprocal teaching, while control teachers (n = 10) used their regular teaching method. Observations of teacher behaviour were focused on instruction of reading strategies, modelling and support of group work and were performed in both experimental and control classes, comprising a total of 369 students (mean age = 13.01). Our study shows that reciprocal teaching contributed to adolescent low achievers' reading comprehension only when experimental teachers provided high‐quality strategy instruction. In addition, results suggest that the quality of implementation of reciprocal teaching in whole‐classroom settings should receive more research attention.

Highlights

What is already known about this topic

• Reciprocal teaching is a method of instructing and guiding learners in reading comprehension.
• It consists of a set of three related instructional principles: (a) teaching comprehension‐fostering reading strategies; (b) expert modelling, scaffolding and fading; and (c) students practising and discussing reading strategies with other students, guided and coached by the teacher.
• High quality of implementation of reciprocal teaching by teachers in classrooms is difficult.

What this paper adds

• After 1 year of implementing reciprocal teaching, no main effects of the treatment were established.
• Intervention effects were moderated by quality of instruction: strategy instruction led to higher scores on reading comprehension in the treatment condition but not in the control condition.
• Implementation of the instructional principles was by no means optimal: teachers were unable to provide detailed guidance to students working in small groups and modelling of strategies requires more experience and theoretical insight in the use and nature of reading strategies.

Implications for practice and/or policy

• Extensive training and coaching are needed for teachers to become experts in reciprocal teaching.
• Teachers need hands‐on tools to be able to guide students in their collaborative group work and to fade the teachers' role in order to allow more individual self‐regulation by students in their use of strategies.
• Implementation quality has to be taken into account when doing effectiveness research and when adopting new, theory‐based didactic approaches.

     

基础英语教学改革中英美文学的渗透与实践——以《现代大学英语》精读为例

我国传统的英语专业精读课教学一直采用以教师教授为主的基本模式,课堂教学活动的主角是教师而不是学生,学生完全处于被动的接受地位,在语言学习中失去动力和兴趣,教师的积极性也被大大挫伤。文学教育是学好语言必经的途径,让英美文学渗透到英语专业基础教学中,这项举措不仅帮助提高学生基础语言能力,同时让学生学到了英美文学中的精华、了解了英美文化。在精读课中渗透并加强英美文学教学,是适应我国大学英语专业培养目标的有效办法,也是外语教学中不可缺少的组成部分。     

主体间性哲学视域中的语文阅读教学

语文阅读教学是学生、教师、文本之间的对话过程,它体现了主体间性哲学的意蕴。传统阅读教学存在着种种弊端,它遮蔽了学生心灵碰撞的感受,影响了学生主体的发展。通过主体间性阅读教学的建构,反思当今的阅读教学,对培养学生的独特个性与创造精神都具有重要意义。主体间性阅读教学是弘扬主体、彰显个性、注重合作、促进创生的教学。
