音标教学与英语词汇自主学习能力培养

词汇是英语学习的基础,语音教学又是词汇学习的基础。而音标教学是语音教学的核心。可见音标教学在英语教学中的重要性,因此音标教学必须提前集中和字母教学同时进行。     

Videoconferencing: A New Opportunity to Facilitate Learning

The use of distance learning techniques as a means of delivering instruction in higher education classrooms has become increasingly popular with the growing diversity of today's college students. Videoconferencing has been used as a tool to facilitate the simultaneous communication of individuals across varying geographic regions through the use of telecommunication technologies that allow two-way video and audio transmissions. In this article, the authors share their journey into the world of learning about videoconferencing as a way to facilitate the teaching of courses in their newly designed hybrid program. They outline methods for selecting videoconferencing programs, provide specific steps for using a videoconferencing tool across various educational contexts, and discuss other creative ideas for using videoconferencing in PK–12 settings and beyond.     

Curricular and Instructional Factors which Facilitate Mathematical Learning

The problem was to investigate basic curriculum factors apart from instructional factors and evaluate heir relative effects upon the learning of mathematics at various cognitive levels, in different mathematical reas and on different mathematical topics by sixth graders. Multivariate analysis of variance and covariance vere used to analyze the data. The findings suggest (a) curriculum characteristics of organization do differentially affect the mathematical learning of sixth graders at the knowledge and evaluation levels of cognition and vithin the area of number theory, and (b) the inductive mode of presentation better facilitates the learning of perations while a deductive mode better facilitates the learning of properties.     

大学生语音学习的调查与策略研究

采取问卷方法考察了英语专业新生英语语音学习现状,运用SPSS软件对数据进行了因子分析、多重反应下的频数分析等。研究结果认为:学生充分认识到语音学习的重要性;学生英语语音语调知识、技能有欠缺;学生语音学习中在音段和超音段层面都存在困难,超音段层面存在的问题更突出。据此建议语音培训中,注重把单音练习和超音位练习有机地结合起来,并努力搭建由课堂的模拟训练走向真实场景中的语用平台,这样才能顺利完成跨文化交流活动。     

The Relation of Affect to Attention and Learning in Infancy

The relation of positive affect to attention and learning was examined in 5-, 7-, and 9-month-olds (N = 84). Affect and attention were assessed while the infants inspected a photograph. Affect was rated globally, for overall mood, and specifically, for amount of time smiling. Attention was indexed by the duration of the infant's longest (or peak) look, a measure previously linked to differential cognitive performance. At all ages, positive affect (shown by approximately half the infants) was associated with long look durations and slower learning, as assessed on a task in which infants learned to distinguish a familiar face from a series of novel faces. By contrast, neutral affect was associated with short looks and faster learning. Affect and look duration had synergistic effects, in that learning was faster than expected for infants who displayed both short looks and neutral affect. These findings are compatible with adult research that links positive affect to less analytical processing, and provide the first evidence that affect may be associated with the speed of processing differences implicated in short and long looking.     

慕课教学能促进高校教师TPACK发展吗?

基于整合技术的学科教学知识(Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge,TPACK)的研究现状分析,文章首先对TPACK要素进行了界定。随后,文章对4名高校英语教师在参与慕课教学过程中TPACK的发展进行了实证研究,结果发现:4名教师的TPACK各要素均得到了不同程度的发展,其中发展最明显的TPACK要素是整合技术的教学策略知识、整合技术的评估知识,其次是有关学生的知识和课程知识,发展最不易的是整合技术的学科教学统领观念。基于此结论,文章针对高校教师TPACK的持续发展提出了相关建议,以期助力高校教师有效整合信息技术,推进高校教学方式和教学观念的转型。     

英语专业学生语音学习问题及对策研究

英语语音的学习对于英语专业学生来讲极其重要,然而学生在经过语音课学习之后,语音改善仍不理想。针对这个现状,采用问卷调查及访谈的方式,对英语专业学生语音学习中存在的问题进行分析,并提出相关对策：加强英语语音基本知识的系统讲授;加强对比教学;加强教学的针对性;加强教学活动的多样化;结合其他英语专业课程进行语音训练。     

Classroom Strategies That Facilitate Transfer of Learning to the Workplace

Organizations have frequently expressed the need for employees who can learn and work effectively in a team environment. This article discusses a process by which an educational program has responded to this challenge. The program used experiential learning, transfer of learning, and team learning theories as the framework for designing a holistic, integrative, and experiential process by which students could transfer their classroom learning to workplace activities. Implications for higher education are discussed.Brenda S. Gardner: Director of the Master of Education program in Human Resource Development

语音学习策略:成人英语教育中的难点突破

成人英语学习者在语音学习上有诸多困难,要突破成人英语学习中的难点,成人英语学习者首先要从思想上重视语音对学习语言的重要性,在学习中有效地使用学习策略,同时,还要充分利用音像资料以促进语言学习。     

Personal Learning Planning: Can Tutoring Improve Pupils' Learning?

This article explores the impact of a Personal Learning Planning (PLP) initiative on pupils' understanding of, and confidence in, learning. The cornerstone of the initiative was a one–to–one, or small group, discussion between Year 9 students and their class tutor. This resulted in a written personal learning plan. The benefits and weaknesses of the initiative are discussed and the interrelationships between action planning, one–to–one tutoring and learning are explored.
