英语口语话语标记语使用实证研究及教学启示

本文通过对我校英语专业学生英语口语原始语料和英国国家语料库(BNC)口语子库的对比分析,研究英语专业学生口语话语标记语的使用特点和规律.研究结果表明:中国大学生和英语母语者在口语中使用的话语标记语不同.在逻辑连接标记语和填充标记语这两大类话语标记语中,中国学生过度使用"er"、"Yes,ye,yeah"和"and"等标记语;学生从未使用"well"、"That is"、"however"、"unless"、"after"等标记语:表明学生在如何使用停顿的语用功能方面存在明显的不足.本研究对英语听说教学有较大的启示作用,对培养学生的话语标记语的认知意识和语用能力有着积极的现实意义.

大学外语教学应以培养学生的阅读能力为主

大学英语教学包括对学生听、说、读、写、译能力的培养,但是对哪种能力的培养最重要是我国很多学者争论的议题。中国高校长期使用的传统的语法教学法已经被证明不符合语言教学规律。许多大学外语教学改革的支持者认为应该彻底改变教学指导理论和方法。笔者认为,大学外语教学改革不应完全摒弃传统教学法,相反,应该首先强调阅读能力的培养,这不仅符合我国的国情,也是实际工作需要的要求。

Lads and English

This article explores some of the issues raised by the perennial ‘Boys and English’ debate. It questions whether stereotypically masculine or ‘laddish’ behaviour and the apparent ‘feminisation’ of English hinders the achievements within the subject of all boys. A study of a selective independent boys' school reveals that social context greatly influences how boys relate to the subject, suggesting that it is unhelpful to make generalisations about ‘boys’ and English. The analysis frames the fieldwork with reference to media debate, Ofsted reports, and the literature on gender and English.

Iowa College Students' Attitudes Toward Official English Legislation: An Exploratory Study

In Iowa, overwhelmingly White and monolingual, 11 counties have declared English their official language, and a statewide law has been under consideration by the legislature. Against a backdrop of changing language and racial demographics, why do some Iowans perceive the need for "official English" legislation or English-only workplace rules? Why do others reject such measures? To what extent are the attitudes of Iowans reflective of the national debate on official English laws? To what extent are they grounded in local realities? In an exploratory survey of 745 undergraduate-student Iowans, attitudes toward the need for an official English law and the reasoning behind those opinions are examined. Challenges and opportunities for language educators are discussed, as well as suggestions for future research.     

On the Nature and Role of English in Asia

The present paper is divided into eight sections:introduction,the global diffusion of English,perceptions of the new varieties,the issue of intelligibility,features that cause unintelligibility,need for a broader pragmatics,and pedagogical impli- cations,and conclusion,followed by the references.Not surprisingly,the global spread of English has generated varying perspec- tives on the nature and functions of its acculturated varieties.Broadly speaking,the debate has divided scholars into two camps holding diametrically opposing views on the multiple versions of English.On the one hand,some scholars view variations as symp- toms of linguistic degeneration and deterioration;on the other hand,some scholars legitimize them as inevitable manifestations ne- cessitated by the demands of the new cultural contexts.The normative view of the former camp stems,at least partly,from the problems the new forms of English pose in terms of international intelligibility.It is in this context that the paper examines the traditional,one-sided,native speaker-centred idea of intelligibility and the recent two-sided view of intelligibility that places the onus on both the native speaker and the non-native speaker.The argument of the latter camp is based on the premise that the new varieties require a broader pragmatic framework,because universal pragmatics is inadequate to describe them satisfactorily. Thus,the camp advocates a need for a language specific pragmatics,and a comparative pragmatics,in addition to the traditional universal pragmatics.Logically,the debate on phonological,lexical,grammatical,and discourse structure variations,and their le- gitimacy has prompted English language teaching specialists to have a fresh look at the goals and objectives of teaching English in the countries of the outer and expanding circles,and accordingly prioritize the teaching of national and regional varieties over that of the so-called native varieties.Thus,the paradigms of independence and centrality of the new varieties are replacing the paradigms of their dependence and marginality.     

Opportunities missed and/or thwarted? ‘Funds of knowledge’ meet the English national curriculum

North American curriculum theorists Gonzales and Moll and their colleagues have argued that working with children's ‘funds of knowledge’ allows teachers to build on what children already know in order to meet the mandated outcomes. The approach also has the potential to change the knowledges that are valued and which advantage some children over others. In this article we examine three instances in which children's ‘funds of knowledge’ leaked into English classrooms: these were not fully taken up. We suggest that these instances represent opportunities wasted, but that they offer some insight into the challenges of introducing a ‘funds of knowledge’ approach into the English ‘curriculum space’, as well as some of the possibilities. We suggest that while there are current initiatives which do work with children's peer and family knowledges, these are isolated and that coordinated debate is required about the potentials of such an approach in the English context.
