零基础法语精读课词汇教学研究

法语词汇教学是法语零基础精读谏教学的重要组成部分。学生法语词汇能力的高低会直接影响到其听、说、读、写、译等各个方面。将着重探讨词汇习得理论、词汇在法语教学中的地位、法语词汇学习策略、词汇教学的方法。     

合理运用迁移理论 提高法语二外教学效率

学习二外法语的学生大多为英语专业学生,在学习第二外语法语的过程中,会发生英语对法语的影响,即学习的迁移,其中正面、积极的是正迁移,而负面、消极的为负迁移。在法语二外教学中,应当合理运用正迁移,帮助学生更快地掌握法语,尽量避免负迁移。本文从语音、词汇、语法教学三方面入手,分析如何运用迁移理论在课堂教学中提高效率。     

从法语外来词角度分析法语词汇的英语化

当今法语词汇中,英语外来词汇特别多,这些词汇表现在政治,经济,体育,科技,社会生活各个方面.法语借词的类型分为发音法语化,借形词,缀词,借义此等.借词也同样可以丰富法语词汇的宝库,借词与新词创造之间同样有着不可分割的联系.     

《欧洲语言共同参考框架》对法语二外教学改革的启示

《欧洲语言共同参考框架》提出了面向行动的教学理念,将语言的学习过程看作是一个设立任务、运用策略完成任务的行动模式。这为法语二外教学提供了新的思路和方法。以新的教学理念指导法语二外教学实践,探讨其在法语二外教学中的适应性与可行性是本文研究的主题。     

课堂故事会对法语词汇教学的启示

相对于传统的课堂词汇教学模式,法语课堂故事会显示了它的独到之处。文章从词汇教学的角度出发,阐述了教师如何通过故事和学生互动,帮助学生克服词汇理解上的障碍,学生又如何从听故事中通过一定的方法获得有用的信息。     

利用学习迁移理论 促进二外法语教学

本文从高等教育心理学的学习迁移理论入手,简单阐述了法语和英语两者之间存在着“共性”一学习迁移的前提,概括总结了两种语言在语音、词汇、语法方面的共同现象,论述了如何利用原有的英语知识来促进二外法语的教学,即学习迁移的关键。     

对基础法语教学中的研究型教学模式的思考

研究型教学理念是高校教学改革的方向。在基础阶段的法语教学中引入面向＂研究性任务＂的教学方法,能引导学生在独立探索和解决问题的研究过程中实现语言交际能力的提升。本文具体分析了该教学方法中任务的概念、性质及在基础法语教学中的具体实施,旨在摸索出适合基础法语教学特点的研究型教学模式。     

《欧洲语言共同参考框架》对本科法语听力教学的启示

《欧洲语言共同参考框架》自问世以来,对欧洲各国和其他国家的语言教学产生了深远影响。中国高校本科法语教学也应与欧洲接轨,吸取《共同框架》中新的外语教学理念。听力理解是《共同框架》中的四种语言能力之一,法语听力教学作为本科法语主要课程,应该积极借鉴欧框,为我所用,突破传统听力教学的弊端。     

关于汉语和法语中借词的比较研究

一种语言除了依靠本身的构词机制和词义演变来丰富词汇外,还需向其他语言借用词语。在世界各种语言中,都有相当一部分是借词。本文拟对汉语和法语中的借词进行对比,通过分析两者之间的共性、差异和汉、法语的互相借入,从广义上归纳出借词被语言词汇吸收的规律,从而促进借词与该种语言词汇的融合。

Students' Reactions to the Introduction of Videoconferencing for Classroom Instruction

This study examined how students who had no prior experience with videoconferencing would react to the use of videoconferencing as an instructional medium. Students enrolled in seven different courses completed a questionnaire at the beginning of the semester and again at the end of the semester. Students at the origination and remote sites did not differ in their reactions toward videoconferencing but there was a significant difference for gender. Women reacted less favorably to videoconferencing. Compared to the beginning of the semester, students reported significantly less positive attitudes toward taking a course through videoconferencing at the end of the semester. There were no significant differences in students' attitudes toward videoconferencing across courses at the beginning of the semester but there were significant differences across the courses at the end of the semester. The results suggest the need for better preparation for both students and instructors.     

Cooler temperatures inductive to locust outbreaks

Ajoint study by Prof. ZHANG Zhibin from the CAS Institute of Zoology and his co-workers from Norway, US and Swiss have indicated that historical outbreaks of migratory locusts in China were associated with cold spells, suggesting that China＇s projected climate warming could decrease the pest＇s numbers. The study was published in Proceedings of theNational Academy of Sciences on 17 September, 2007.     

Exploring Multiplexity: Social Network Structures in a Computer-Supported Distance Learning Class

A computer-mediated group is a complex entity whose members exchange many types of information via multiple means of communication in pursuit of goals specific to their environment. Over time, they coordinate technical features of media with locally enacted use to achieve a viable working arrangement. To explore this complex interaction, a case study is presented of the social networks of interactions and media use among members of a class of computer-supported distance learners. Results show how group structures associated with project teams dominated who communicated with whom, about what, and via which media over the term, and how media came to occupy their own communication niches: Webboard for diffuse class-wide communication; Internet Relay Chat more to named others but still for general communication across the class; and e-mail primarily for intrateam communication. Face-to-face interaction, occurring only during a short on-campus session, appears to have had a catalytic effect on social and emotional exchanges. Results suggest the need to structure exchanges to balance class-wide sharing of ideas with subgroup interactions that facilitate project completion, and to provide media that support these two modes of interaction.     

The Role of Intermediating Institutions in the Diffusion of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI): How Industry Associations Intervened in Denmark, Finland, and Hong Kong

Electronic data interchange (EDI) provides means for interorganizational communication, creates network externalities, requires an advanced information technology (IT) infrastructure, and relies on standards. In the diffusion of such innovations, institutional involvement is imperative. Such institutions contain governmental agencies, national and global standardization organizations, local government, and nonprofit private organizations like industry associations. The last type of organizations we call intermediating institutions. They intermediate or coordinate ("inscribe") the activities of a group of would-be adopters. Unfortunately, little is known of how these organizations shape the EDI diffusion trajectory. In this article we examine one specific type of intermediating organizations?industry associations?and how they advanced the EDI diffusion process in the grocery sectors of Hong Kong, Denmark and Finland. We identify six institutional measures, placed into a matrix formed by the mode of involvement (influence vs. regulation) and the type of diffusion force (supply push vs. demand pull), that can be mobilized to further the EDI diffusion. Industry associations were found to be active users of all these measures to varying degrees. Their role was critical especially in knowledge building, knowledge deployment, and standard setting. Furthermore, institutional involvement varied due to policy and cultural contingencies and power dependencies.     

How Electronic Publishers are Protecting Against Piracy: Doubts About Technical Systems of Protection

The increasing prospects of digital piracy has prompted the perceived need by electronic publishers to adopt technical systems of protection, and governments to reform their copyright laws. This article is a preliminary study of the management of intellectual property by electronic publishers, defined as those involved in the production of online databases, and CD-ROMs. It focuses on three main issues: (1) how electronic publishers view the increasing threat of piracy; (2) the methods of protection employed to protect intellectual property in digital format; and (3) the importance of technological protection of intellectual property in electronic publications. The analysis is based on a sample of 23 UK electronic publishers. The interviews revealed an interesting assortment of protection methods and did not show that technological protection was a preferred way. Instead, the means of protection, in addition to copyright law, comprised niche markets, pricing, trust, bad publicity, and nontechnical and technical means.     

Rough Justice: A Statistical Assessment of ICANN's Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy

Long-standing conflict between domain name registrants and trademark holders prompted the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) to create a global, mandatory arbitration procedure known as the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP). The UDRP has been used in 2166 cases involving 3938 domain names as of 1 November 2000. The policy gives the initiator of a complaint, generally a trademark holder, the right to choose which ICANN-accredited dispute resolution service provider (RSP) will handle the case. During the preparation of the UDRP,some feared that complainant selection would lead to "forum shopping" that might bias the results. This article performs a statistical assessment of the forum-shopping thesis and finds support for it. There are statistically significant differences in the various RSPs' propensity to take away names from defendants; there are also major differences in the number of cases brought to each RSP. RSPs who take away names have the larger share of cases. The study examines other variables that might explain differences in market share, such as price, the plaintiff's nationality, or the time taken to decide a case. It finds that nationality and time also are correlated with market share. The study concludes that shopping for a favorable outcome is an important factor in the UDRP.

Monoculture Rubber Plantations Have Negative Ef ects on Controlling Splash Erosion

<正>In Xishuangbanna,one of China’s most biodiverse regions,landscape has changed dramatically during the past three decades due to the conversion of tropical rainforest to rubber plantations.In steep areas,terraces are often constructed before planting rubber trees,which causes two important changes in the soil:the destabilization of soil in the bench terraces and the increased vulnerability of unvegetated riser faces to erosion.Few studies have documented the nature and intensity of erosion on bench terraces.Prof.LIU Wenjie and his colleagues from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden(XTBG)conducted a study in Menglun County(21°5′39″N,101°15′55″E),Xishuangbanna to evaluate the influence
