论高职高专英语教学中人文教育之渗透与融合

在高职高专院校的英语教学中，将人教育渗透其中并与之融为一体，建构以提高人素质为主导的教学模式，具有十分重要的意义。英语语言的学习过程，实质上就是英语化的学习过程，教师正是通过这一学习过程来帮助学生提高人素质的。因此，英语教师必须正确认识、把握课程教学与人素质教育的内在关系，帮助学生理解、掌握蕴藏在教材化背景中的人内涵，从而促进学生人素质的不断提高。     

教师在基于网络的大学英语视听说教学中的角色定位

2007年教育部发布的《大学英语课程教学要求》突出强调了听说能力的重要性,并要求各高校采用基于计算机和网络的教学模式。在基于网络的大学英语视听说课程的教学模式中,教师的角色与功能更具有时代性与功能性,教师是教学网络的管理者,教学内容的设计者,学生学习的合作者,教学评估的参与者和语言技能的培养者。新的教师角色定位,同时对未来的大学英语教师所应具备的素质也提出了更高的要求。只有正确看待教师在基于网络的大学英语视听说教学中的角色,才能更好地服务于教学,切实提高教学成效。     

Learner agency in language learning: the story of a distance learner of EFL in China

Learner agency plays a key role in self-regulated learning. Yet, there is a paucity of research into its role in the distance learning context. Using reflective narratives written by a distance learner of English in China, this longitudinal case study aims to investigate the ways in which learner agency mediates the language learning in the distance mode. Findings from the study suggest that agency has a major impact on learners’ self-efficacy, identity, motivation, and metacognition—four constructs which are instrumental in determining language learning success, in particular in the distance learning context. Analysis of the data indicates that positive changes in these four constructs, in turn, lead to further agentic engagement, hence forming a virtuous circle of mutual enhancement. Implications are discussed in relation to fostering distance learners’ goal awareness, enhancing their self-efficacy, maintaining their motivation, and encouraging metacognitive efforts.     

合作学习在高职英语教学中的应用及启示

新的高职英语教学大纲明确指出“倡导体验、实践、参与、合作与交流的学习方式,发展听、说、读、写、译的综合语言技能”。新一轮课程改革要求学生自主探索,主动获取,进行合作学习。鉴于目前高职高专英语教学状况,有必要探求一种有效的教学方法：合作学习是一种最有效、最实用的教学策略之一。这种学习方法是让学生在小组里一起学习以完成共同的学习任务,将合作学习运用于高职高专英语教学,对改变课堂以“教师为中心”为以“学生为中心”,变“填鸭式”的教学为自主学习具有现实意义。

Learning to teach writing through tutoring and journal writing

Structured reflection on practical teaching experiences may help pre‐service teachers to integrate their learning and analyze their actions to become more effective learners and teachers. This study reports on 12 pre‐service English as a second language (ESL) teachers’ individual tutoring of learners of English language writing. The data of the study are the writing journal entries that the pre‐service ESL teachers maintained during their tutoring experience. These journals had common elements: all were used by the pre‐service teachers to consider what funds of knowledge they bring to their teaching of ESL learners, to evaluate their roles as writers, learners and teachers and to reflect on the educational, social and cultural implications of teaching writing in English to speakers of other languages. This article describes ways in which both native and non‐native English speaking pre‐service teachers adapted their instruction to meet the particular needs of individual ESL writers and what they learned in the process. It provides insight regarding the value of using tutoring and reflection generally in teacher education and specifically in the preparation of teachers of ESL.

Views on How to Improve English Listening Comprehension

The modern language teaching theory highly emphasizes the effect of"listening"on the learning and the use of language. The teaching of English listening is not only a teaching of language, but also a kind of training of ability. In the four skills of listening, writing, reading and speaking, listening is considered as the basic, and the most important skill. It isn't only the main way of acquiring language information, but the base of improving other skills. Listening practice is especially important in classrooms where English is taught as a foreign language, that is, in situations where English is not the language of the country and where opportunities for hearing English outside the classroom are few. Students in such environments often learn to read and write English, and even to speak English, but they frequently have great difficulty comprehending English spoken to them.Plenty of Chinese students claim that the listening test is the most difficult part of English test. As a result, teachers should take particular pains to avoid such simplification and to provide opportunities for students to hear the kind of language that will prepare them for situations outside the classroom. Teachers should try to anticipate the kind of English the students will hear when the opportunity arises for them to be in an English-speaking country. In this article, I start with the factors which may exert an influence on listening comprehension, shows ways to improve listening comprehension and design some useful activities in the class. And I also focus on the activities of English listening teaching and insist that the activities should be both emphasized on the process of listening and the result of listening, due to different situations.

英语教育课程的立体化建设与人文素养培育——以英语阅读课程为例

英语教育目的一是使学生获得语言知识与技能,二是培育学生的人文素养。要达到这两个目的,必须改革现行的专业课程设置体系和传统的教育模式,重构一个以促进学生的内在成长、培养学生的整体能力为目标,寓人文教育于英语教育之中的立体化课程模式。以英语阅读课程为例,把传统教学模式与网络课程教学相结合,采用两套具有互补功能的教材,让课堂阅读测试训练与课外小说阅读互为补充,使课堂网络讨论与课外小组讨论相映衬的立体化教育模式,教学效果良好。
