英语教师的发展

不断提高英语教师的各项素质,是实现、完善英语课程标准的关键,而目前国内英语教师的继续教育仍停留于“培训”“教育”范畴,广大英语教师也仍然在被动地期待接受“培训”和“教育”的机会。鉴于我国小学开设英语后,英语教师将从现在的几十万增长到一百多万,由上级和相关单位组织的“培训”和“教育”,很难解决他们终身的继续学习问题。因此深入理解“教师发展”内涵,立足我国实际,全面探讨英语教师发展的特点、内容、途径、方式和矛盾,将有助于英语教师继续教育工作向良性发展,有助于教师自身素质的提高。

Developing Oral Language in Primary Classrooms

The development of oral language in classrooms has been an incidental occurrence historically. The amount of oral language that children have is an indicator of their success or struggle in school. To meet the needs of these children, teachers can make oral language development a primary focus for instruction. This article examines ways that teachers can both implicitly and explicitly teach children about language and its functions in primary classrooms through the environment, connections to literature, developmentally appropriate oral language activities, and engaging curricula.     

'Moving Forward Together': Do we need a 'common language'?

This article examines critically the implications of claiming that the National Literacy Stategy provides teachers and educationists with a common language with which to talk about literacy teaching and learning in the primary classroom. In particular, it examines the suggestion that teacher trainers should use the common language as the framework within which to teach trainee primary teachers about literacy.The article raises two questions: what is the nature of the common language offered by the National Literacy Stategy and should there be any one common language? The article criticises the functionality of the common language and suggests that, if a professed willingness to allow the literacy strategy to evolve is to occur, there are advantages for teachers and literacy teaching in being exposed to languages that dissent from the common language.

培养小学双语师资的语言和学科综合能力

发展迅猛的小学双语教学对小学双语教师的培养提出了更高的要求,迫切要求师范院校强化对小学双语教师素质的培养。合格的小学双语师资是能兼顾学科教学和语言教学的"双肩挑"人才。这需要当前师范院校重新审视人才培养目标,调整部分专业和课程,以更好地培养未来双语教师的语言和学科综合能力。

Early MFL learning for the millennium

Drawing on experience of early foreign language learning over the last decade in the UK, this article attempts to summarise the main considerations which policy makers, head teachers, primary teachers, secondary MFL teachers and school governors need to bear in mind when planning the implementation of a primary foreign language learning initiative. It also looks towards the future as regards requirements for the wider introduction of languages pre-11.     

Exploring the potential of the European Portfolio for Student Teachers of Languages (EPOSTL) as a reflective tool in initial primary teacher education

Although primary teachers in the Republic of Ireland are generalist teachers, language teaching of both Irish and English, as well as the development of literacy skills across the curriculum is an integral part of their daily professional practice. This paper presents an analysis of the European Portfolio for Student Teachers of Languages (EPOSTL) with a view to considering its potential as a reflective tool in the initial primary teacher education (IPTE) in the Republic of Ireland. The creation and structure of the EPOSTL within a European language policy landscape is delineated, and thematic analysis is presented, focusing on three of the EPOSTL’s main theoretical and conceptual underpinnings: (a) teacher autonomy, (b) reflective practice and, (c) self-assessment. The role of primary teachers as language teachers within a new framework of plurilingualism is highlighted. In order to consider the suitability of the EPOSTL as a reflective tool in teacher education, IPTE educational policy documents are examined to uncover converging discourses with the underlying themes of the EPOSTL. The EPOSTL emerges as a good conceptual fit with IPTE policy. It presents as a reflective tool with the potential to promote a transformative and integrated approach to language teacher education in and across Institutes of Education at a time of sociolinguistic and curriculum change in Irish primary schools.     

Teaching the language of mathematics at three levels of an English-medium primary school

This study, situated in a multilingual, English-medium educational context, draws on theory from mathematics and language education to capture teachers’ perspectives on the place of language in their mathematics pedagogy. The benchmark study explored this topic through surveying and interviewing teachers. Additionally, it sought to relate teachers’ views to their practice by focusing on observing three teachers’ mathematics lessons at primary one, three, and five. Findings are that mathematics teachers placed importance on teaching language, being specifically concerned with language as input and comprehension. They taught vocabulary and reading skills in supportive ways explicitly yet differently at the three grade levels. Particularly at the lower levels, teachers contextualised language in the concrete examples employed for mathematics teaching. At all three levels, prominence was given to teaching pupils how to read word problems as well as how to solve them. However, at primary three, a tension was observed between the two aims of teaching mathematical vocabulary and teaching the reading skills for word problems. This paper illustrates the tension and discusses its possible causes.
