《英格力士》的追求

《英格力士》是近年出版的一部优秀长篇小说，它通过孩子的眼光对边地的文革进行了另类描述，在成长的主题下包含了“我”审视一切、追求“优雅”的少年心态，而“优雅”正是那个年代所缺失的东西，也是这个年代我们正在拼命追求的东西。     

王刚《英格力士》中主要人物形象分析

王刚的《英格力士》描写了在文革时期的乌鲁木齐,一群少男少女学习英语的经历。通过少年刘爱的生活自述,反映了"文革"期间的社会变迁和人物命运。本文从文革背景下的知识分子群像、文革时期对少年的压抑教育、少年成长的潜意识原因等三个方面论述那个特定时期一个少年的生活经验。     

论小说《英格力士》的儿童视角叙事策略

儿童视角作为一种独特的文学现象,呈现出独特的叙事语调。在小说《英格力士》的叙事视角中儿童视角并不是单独存在的,往往有成人视角或隐含作者渗透叙事系统对儿童视角形成干预补充。同时,采用第一人称叙事拉进了叙述者与读者的距离,读者与叙述者平等对话,使文本颇具亲切感和感染力。文本中多处采用反讽叙事,不仅实现了从儿童视角、心理出发对成人世界中丑陋现象的批判,还使文本的意义阐释更加丰富。

从"无爱无性"到"甜蜜野蛮"--美国文学的一个侧面

华盛顿·欧文、库柏、梅尔维尔这些早期浪漫主义的代表作家的所有经典之作,却规避了浪漫的爱情,马克*吐温和惠特曼的代表作也是无爱无性的世界.这与北美殖民地的社会环境和未予开发的自然环境有关.美国富强后,以女权主义和女性解放为背景,美国文学尤其是女性文学却是另一番景象,"甜蜜野蛮"成了这一时期的文学主题.     

《成长手册》与过程性评价

《初中历史课程标准》指出：“要建立发展性评价体系，将过程性评价与考试性评价有机地结合在一起，不仅发挥评价的甄别、选拔功能，还要发挥评价的教育导向和发展功能。”本着这样的理念，我们在实践中使用《成长手册》，来对学生的学习过程进行多方面、全方位的立体评价。经过一年的实验证实这种过程性评价形式，能更好地关注学生学习与发展的过程，促进学生全面而有个性地发展。     

聆听生命成长的声音——试论《启蒙时代》中父子两代人的成长

王安忆的新作《启蒙时代》是其近十年来创作所达到的一个新的高度。一向关注生命成长的作家在这部新作中既探索了以南昌为代表的青年一代在＂后革命时代＂的迷茫、寻找与成长的艰难历程,也探索了父亲一代由启蒙大众到自我启蒙的内在成长。小说既是对现代文学中启蒙叙事的续接,又是超越。

构建对话课堂实现生命成长--三教《"科学怪人"》的启示

《语文课程标准》揭示的语文学科的性质“工具性与人文性的统一”更为科学，并由此带来新的教育理念，这便是语文教育的理想：第一，实现语文文本(包括教材)的人文性——对人的尊重，关注人的生存意义，关心人的生活，张扬人的个性，促进人的发展；第二，把语文课堂甚至是语文课程(教材、教师、学生构成的“生态环境”)营造成生命活动展示场、生命对话场，让课堂教学成为师生人生中一段重要的生命经历，让教学过程成为一种真实的生活，成为师生生命活力展现的过程。     

Learning through engaging in retrospective reflection on a change process in an English course on workplace communication

This study describes a change process of implementing role-plays in a course on workplace communication in English, and of engaging in retrospective reflection. Considering that English education for nursing students in Taiwan has focused on the development of medical terminology and that students’ communicative competence is the main deficiency, the author conducted the change process in a medium-scale district hospital where she worked as a clinical nurse and in a nursing college where she taught English as a part-time teacher. The results show that engaging in retrospective reflection allows a teacher to construct knowledge from experience for professional growth.

Non-native English speaking pre-service teachers in an EFL context: examining experiences through borderland discourse

This study examined borderland discourse emergent from the practicum experiences of non-native English speaking pre-service teachers (PSTs) in a Thai primary school. Borderland discourse is defined as a space where personal and professional constructs intersect, which is often in a state of dissonance. Over a ten-week practicum period, the PSTs narrated their experiences through a dialogic reflective journal with their teacher-educator. A main issue was the dissonance between PSTs’ expectations with the reality of their teaching context. Some of which were the Thai students’ inability to communicate in English and the use of a syllabus that did not reflect the students’ language abilities. This led to a renegotiation of PSTs’ pedagogical approaches. This study also highlighted potential challenges that non-native English speaking PSTs may face if teaching in a context that is linguistically or culturally different from theirs, as well as a brief account of English language education in Thailand.

Is performance in English as a second language a relevant criterion for admission to an English medium university?

Since colonial times, many English-medium universities in developing countries require applicants to give proof of a high degree of proficiency in English language. Applicants with (very) good school results, but without the required score in school English are not admitted. This study focuses on the efficacy of such an entry requirement, using the performance of students at the National University of Lesotho. The results show that performance in school-level English is hardly correlated with academic performance, when controlling for the overall school performance. At the same time, overall school performance is a good predictor of performance. The study makes an attempt to quantify the implications of the current emphasis on performance in school English, and concludes that this emphasis cannot be justified, since it actually works to keep a number of very promising students outside the university. Finally, some reasons are suggested for the apparent lack of correlation between performance in school English and performance at university.

A framework to support group essay writing in English for Academic Purposes: a case study from an English-medium instruction context

In English for academic purposes courses, group oral presentations are quite common but essay writing tends to be seen as an individual endeavour, albeit with scope for peer review. This article discusses action research reflecting on student perceptions of a framework to support students through a semester-long collaborative essay assignment in an English-medium instruction university in Macau. The framework presented incorporates collaborative and individual assignment tasks, assisted by information and communications technology, to support the collaborative process and facilitate the assessment of the individual within the group. Even though writing in a group may take more time and effort, it is viewed favourably by the majority of students due to the additional learning gains to be made by writing collaboratively, including the increased quality of ideas and the social interactions (face-to-face and online) required to come to agreement.
