经济全球化背景下我国高校双语教学目标探析

国外双语教育有明确的国家目标、教育目标和语言目标指明方向,因而双语教育比较成功。而我国高校的双语教学长期以来目标缺失,导致双语教学缺乏连续性、系统性、制度性和有效性。我国高校双语教学在实施阶段、教学对象、教学结果、学生的动力、后续第二语言支持等方面的特殊性决定了高校双语教学的国家目标应定位于：以多元文化认同为基础,扩大国际交流,促进经济发展;教育目标应定位于：培养社会急需的高级双语人才;语言目标应定位于：习得第二语言。     

论中小学英汉双语教学存在的问题

该文论述了双语教学的定义以及国外双语教学的做法;对照我国国情,从双语教学的目的、双语教学对低龄学生母语思维能力的发展有负面影响、双语教学的师资不合格方面论述了我国中小学英汉双语教学存在的一些问题。     

基础教育阶段双语教学之我见

通过对国外双语教学定义与目的考察，可以看出在我国现有的条件下，在基础教育中实行双语教学是不可行的：第一，双语教学会影响学生对母语及其他基本科目的掌握；第二，学生的特点不适于采用双语教学；第三，教学条件等客观因素制约着双语教学的开展。

关于高校双语教学本土化的思考

鉴于我国特殊的文化语境和地方高校具体条件的制约,我国双语教学建设不能套用西方双语教学模式。而建构具有本土特色的双语教学体系是目前我国高校教学的中心任务。建设本土化双语教学体系急需在以下三个方面实现：一是根据实际情况对国外原版教材进一步改编;二是课程设置要根据学校专业特色灵活调整;三是教学手段要根据学生现有水平循序渐进。只有对以上三个环节进行深化改革,才能处理好全球化与本土化之间的关系,建构既能与国际接轨又具有中国特色的双语教学体系。     

再议高校双语教学中存在的问题与建议

双语教学是高校质量工程的重要组成。近几年高校教学探索中存在三个主要问题：学生第二语言的现有水平不足以进行有效的双语学习,影响学生对学科知识的掌握;学生在双语课程学习中的无助心理导致其自我效能感的缺失;学校管理层不重视双语师资的培训,双语课程的开设缺乏连贯性与合理规划。针对以上问题,高校双语课程应该实行学生选课制、开设双语课程群以及对双语学生进行科学的学业评价。     

新疆教育学院少数民族学生思想政治理论课双语教学现状调查

2011年笔者对新疆教育学院2009级、2010级全日制普通少数民族学生思想政治理论课双语教学现状进行了调研.调查显示：学生对开展思想政治理论课程教学改革的必要性有一定的认识;学生和教师的汉语水平对思想政治理论课程双语教学的实际效果产生了一定的影响;学生对教思想政治理论课程的双语教师的期望值较高;学生对思想政治理论课程双语教学的教学模式、教学辅助手段有改革的需求.     

双语教学效果和学生英语水平关系探讨

通过对我国高校进行双语教学的学生需具备的英语水平进行的研究,结果发现,高考英语成绩和双语课程成绩的关联性不大,而CET成绩和双语课程成绩显著相关。从双语教学学生所需语言水平分析中可知,如果学生CET4达到450分以上,可以基本达到双语教学成效;如果学生CET4达到475分以上,则可以较好的达到双语教学成效。

转型国家和地区的腐败与反腐败现象研究

腐败是一国政治、经济、文化、司法情况的侧面反映。俄罗斯、韩国、台湾等转型国家和地区民主政治发展中腐败放量增加,既有腐败的一般性原因,更有转型期制度约束缺失下政治分权导致腐败切入点分散化、政府主导型市场经济下权力设租和寻租恶性循环、传统政治道德体系解体下公职人员从政心理发生裂变等特定因素的推助。我们必须看到导致腐败的因素会随着问题被暴露以及社会寻求完善的民主与法制而发生改变,民众的民主监督技能也会因民主的教育而大大提高。对于转型国家和地区民主化发展中不断上演的政治腐败和社会动乱,我们不能在一种幸灾乐祸的心态下固步自封,停止民主政治发展的探索,更不能背离民主。需要借鉴当代民主理论的研究成果和民主实践的经验与教训,顺应本国的国情和社会发展的客观需垂正确制定未国臣章政治发展酌方略有莳揭制叔力腐败

北方高校冬季体育教学存在问题及改革探索

北方高校由于处在高纬度地区,冬季开展体育教学活动存在诸多局限性,冬季体育教学主要以冰雪项目为主.北方高校冬季开展冰雪项目具有场地、师资队伍等有利条件,但也存在学生体育意识不强、课程设置单一、教学内容枯燥等问题.不断丰富冬季体育教学内容和培养学生参与冬季体育项目的兴趣是开展好冬季体育教学的关键.     

Parents and school communities in Japan and Scotland: contrasts in policy and practice in primary schools

In this paper Japanese and Scottish cultural and ideological expectations about the role of parents and communities in schools are examined. Findings from three case studies of a Japanese school, a Scottish school and a group of Japanese parents sending their children to a Scottish school show that there are clear policy differences between the two countries. These differences reflect each country's problems and the purposes of the educational reforms that have been introduced and the different strengths and weaknesses of the two systems. The policy differences in the two systems and how these are translated into practice are examined from the perspective of parents and the wider school community. It is argued that what is missing from the policy and practice context in both countries are the resources to enable teachers, parents and other members of the community to work as equal partners.     

Relationship between affect and achievement in science and mathematics in Malaysia and Singapore

Background : The Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) assesses the quality of the teaching and learning of science and mathematics among Grades 4 and 8 students across participating countries.

Purpose : This study explored the relationship between positive affect towards science and mathematics and achievement in science and mathematics among Malaysian and Singaporean Grade 8 students.

Sample : In total, 4466 Malaysia students and 4599 Singaporean students from Grade 8 who participated in TIMSS 2007 were involved in this study.

Design and method : Students’ achievement scores on eight items in the survey instrument that were reported in TIMSS 2007 were used as the dependent variable in the analysis. Students’ scores on four items in the TIMSS 2007 survey instrument pertaining to students’ affect towards science and mathematics together with students’ gender, language spoken at home and parental education were used as the independent variables.

Results : Positive affect towards science and mathematics indicated statistically significant predictive effects on achievement in the two subjects for both Malaysian and Singaporean Grade 8 students. There were statistically significant predictive effects on mathematics achievement for the students’ gender, language spoken at home and parental education for both Malaysian and Singaporean students, with R ² = 0.18 and 0.21, respectively. However, only parental education showed statistically significant predictive effects on science achievement for both countries. For Singapore, language spoken at home also demonstrated statistically significant predictive effects on science achievement, whereas gender did not. For Malaysia, neither gender nor language spoken at home had statistically significant predictive effects on science achievement.

Conclusions : It is important for educators to consider implementing self-concept enhancement intervention programmes by incorporating ‘affect’ components of academic self-concept in order to develop students’ talents and promote academic excellence in science and mathematics.     

Expansion and social selection in education in England and Scotland

This paper examines trends in social class inequalities in young people’s educational attainment and HE entry between the mid‐1980s and the end of the 1990s in England and Scotland. Using time‐series data derived from the Scottish School Leavers Surveys and the England (and Wales) Youth Cohort Study, changes in both absolute and relative social class differences within and across the two countries were analysed through the use of a series of ordered logits. The results show that Scotland has higher educational attainment rates but also higher social class inequalities than England. Moreover, while in England social class inequalities at upper‐secondary and tertiary level have declined over time, in Scotland no evidence of such trend has been found. The conclusions highlight that possible explanations for these patterns reside in the different features of the two education systems and in the remarkable educational success of the Scottish middle class.
