先锋小说中作家写作视角的平视化

先锋小说表现出作家写作视角的平视化特征,即作家,叙述人,人物,读者之间是近于平等的关系,他既不教育,启发他人,也不需要别人来评判,而只是客观地展示故事本身。这种写作视角的平视化是通过叙述视角的局部化,叙述干预的运用及客观,冷漠的叙述来实现的。     

The shifting sands in the effects of source text summarizability on summary writing

This paper reports the effects of the properties of source texts on summarization. One hundred and fifty-seven undergraduates were asked to write summaries of one of three extended English texts of similar length and readability, but differing in other discoursal features such as lexical diversity and macro-organization. The effects of summarizability were examined from two perspectives: students’ summarization task performance and their perception of such effects as demonstrated in the post-summarization questionnaire and interviews. Source text had significant and relatively larger effects than the summarizers’ language abilities on summarization performance. These were more pronounced on Chinese than English summarization. Perceptual data were generally supportive of the performance data and further illuminated the dynamics of the summarizability of a source text and its potential effects on performance. Macro-organization, frequency of unfamiliar words, topic familiarity, length of source texts were among the most influential factors shaping text summarizability in the view of the participants. However, the effects of summarizability proved to be rather idiosyncratic. Implications of these findings are discussed in relation to source text selection when designing summarization tasks.

“另类”女性创作的后殖民审视

“另类”女性创作产生于二十世纪末,以“新人类记事”为标榜,以“前卫”为指向,主要描写了当代青年“另类”生活方式,展示了当代上海、广州等大都市中青年一代的生存状态,在一定程度上反映了全球化语境下我国大都市世纪末的物质、精神和文化状况。从后殖民的角度审视“另类”文学创作可以发现,“另类”女性创作中从人物的生活环境、生活方式、行为意识以及小说的语言和人物喜爱的艺术等方面都体现出鲜明的后殖民文化色彩。

作文教学中的问题与对策

作文教学在语文教学中素有"半壁江山"之称.特别是语文新大纲实施后,作文更是语文界同仁们的最大的热门话题.可到现在,身边的同仁们的观念依然陈旧,作文教学是最薄弱的环节之一.平日的作文课没有认真指导写作;作文的批改也是迫于学校的教务检查而给一个分数、改几个错别字、加两句雷同的评语了事;考试阅卷时作文根本不看,50分的作文一般按34～44分随便给分了事.去年下期期末与今年下期的期中考试中,语文平均分列各科之首,且平均分超出其他学科达5分以上.我校的语文教学就这样成功吗?非也.去年毕业会考80分以上才4人,今年90分以上才1人,80分以上虽多出几个,可与同级比较起来很不乐观.推而广之亦然.面对这样的现实,如果我们仍然抱残守缺,不能正确对待,那结果只会将语文学科引向歧途.我发现作文教学中存在有这样的问题:     

探究语篇分析视角下的大学英语写作

随着经济全球化的发展,英语作为一种交际工具,在人们的生活及工作中的重要性不断提升,这也使得英语成为教学中的重点。在英语的基本技能中,写作考察的是学生综合运用语言的能力。在写作实践中,学生更多着眼于句子层面的词汇及语法等,而不能从宏观角度把握写作。所写文章虽然用词合理,语法正确,但文章整体句式单调、结构混乱、行文不流畅、观点不突出。鉴于这一现状,本文从语篇分析的视角,运用主位推进模式,探究这种模式对大学英语写作的启示及指导意义。

Game-based practice versus traditional practice in computer-based writing strategy training: effects on motivation and achievement

Achieving sustained student engagement with practice in computer-based writing strategy training can be a challenge. One potential solution is to foster engagement by embedding practice in educational games; yet there is currently little research comparing the effectiveness of game-based practice versus more traditional forms of practice. In this study, the ARCS model (Keller, Perform Instr 26(8):1–7, 1987b) was used to investigate the motivational characteristics of different practice conditions. To this end, 175 students were randomly assigned to one of four experimental conditions: game-based, question-based, model-based, and writing-based practice. All students first learned strategies to write an essay introduction. Subsequently, students practiced using the strategies in the four different conditions. Game-based practice was expected to positively affect ARCS-related motivation toward practice. Results showed that students perceived game-based practice as significantly more interesting and engaging than question-based practice. However, although game-based practice was perceived more positively, only model-based and question-based practice demonstrated a beneficial impact on students’ ability to implement the writing strategies. These results underline the necessity of interconnecting motivational and instructional design when developing practice methods for computer-based writing strategy training.
