日出之后

The peonies are hung-over again
dew-drunk from loitering in the moonlight
after taunting the crab apples and redbuds
for having bloomed too soon after the snow

Something roared like thunder. The earth shook a little and we heard the rat-a-tat-tat of gunfire. ＂Father!＂ Hassan cried. We sprung to our feet and raced out of the living room.     

如果你忘记了我

I want you to know
one thing.
You know how this is：
if I look
at the crystal moon, at the red branch
of the slow autumn at my window,

英语语音音变现象及对策分析

英语语音中存在着同化、失爆、连读、省略等音变现象,而当前不少学生和教师对这方面的内容却缺乏了解,"学"和"教"也颇感吃力。为此,通过分析音变现象,提出相应对策,以提高英语的教学质量。     

试探语音的语用功能

形、音、义是组成语言的三要素。其中词义负责表达思想、承载信息;语音和意义之间没有任何逻辑联系,但在特定语境中,说话者可以运用重音、音素、节奏、停顿、音调等语音手段改变词句的语用意义。在现代语言学研究中,语音的功能越来越受到重视,主要体现在语境、审美、辨别、及其民族文化心理等四个方面。只有深入了解语音的功能,英语学习者才会对语言产生浓烈的兴趣并从中获得乐趣。     

如何看待社区服务令

我国目前刑事制度中尚无“社区服务令”这种刑罚,虽然在法律框架内找不到法律依据,但在尊重我国国情的具体的实践中,尤其是对未成年犯实施“社区服务令”已经取得了良好的效果。     

略论学业负担问题研究的深化与升华

对复杂的学业负担问题展开的复杂研究,对丰富中国的教育理论和教育哲学不无裨益。笔者对学业负担问题的研究有更多的期待:将其作为一个问题,可以从事实的表层到深层、从事实到规律、从事实到价值逐步深化与升华;从研究方法上考虑,这么一个复杂的、真实的教育问题,必须在科学研究、历史研究和哲学反思与批判上舍得花更多的功夫,否则,很难达到一个新的境界。     

统计指数因素分析理论问题研究

统计指数因素分析方法的理论基础是由拉氏物价指数和派氏物量指数所构成的指数体系,该理论在社会经济现象变动因素分析中,发挥了极其重要的作用。但是,它又存在着不一致性、不确定性、不真实性和不协调性缺陷。为了克服这些缺陷,一个多世纪以来,国内外专家、学者提出了许多修改理论和设想,其中影响较大的有理想指数理论、函数指数理论、共变影响因素理论和共变影响分配理论等。这些理论和设想在一定程度上克服了传统因素分析理论的缺陷,但都没能从根本上解决问题。当前,指数因素分析理论研究的根本目的,就是要构建一套符合事物发展逻辑,遵循数理分析原则,能够克服传统因素分析理论缺陷,真实反映现象总变动中各因素变动影响方向、程度和水平的指数体系。     

The Goldilocks Effect in Infant Auditory Attention

Infants must learn about many cognitive domains (e.g., language, music) from auditory statistics, yet capacity limits on their cognitive resources restrict the quantity that they can encode. Previous research has established that infants can attend to only a subset of available acoustic input. Yet few previous studies have directly examined infant auditory attention, and none have directly tested theorized mechanisms of attentional selection based on stimulus complexity. This work utilizes model‐based behavioral methods that were recently developed to examine visual attention in infants (e.g., Kidd, Piantadosi, & Aslin, 2012). The present results demonstrate that 7‐ to 8‐month‐old infants selectively attend to nonsocial auditory stimuli that are intermediately predictable/complex with respect to their current implicit beliefs and expectations. These findings provide evidence of a broad principle of infant attention across modalities and suggest that sound‐to‐sound transitional statistics heavily influence the allocation of auditory attention in human infants.     

Listening differently: A pedagogy for expanded listening

Mainstream education promotes a narrow conception of listening, centred on the reception and comprehension of human meanings. As such, it is ill‐equipped to hear how sound propagates affects, generates atmospheres, shapes environments and enacts power. Yet these aspects of sound are vital to how education functions. We therefore argue that there is a need to expand listening in education, and suggest that listening walks could provide a pedagogy for this purpose. Using interview data in which early years practitioners reflect on a listening walk, we show how the method can: (i) produce heightened multisensory experiences of spaces; (ii) generate forms of difficulty and discomfort that produce new learning; and (iii) influence practice, particularly practitioners’ ability to empathise with young children. Listening walks function by disrupting everyday sensory habits, provoking listeners to listen anew to their own listening, in an open‐ended way that is not tied to predetermined learning outcomes. The method therefore has wider pedagogic potential for rethinking education and childhood beyond rationality, representation and meaning.     

Internationalization of Higher Education: A South African Perspective

The evolution of South African universities continues to be shaped by both apartheid and more recent post-apartheid policies. Yet the South African university system is mainly an elite, low participation and high attrition system, offering a medium quality education. Moreover, there is uneven attention to the opportunities that internationalization might bring to South Africa. The paper explores South Africa’s position in a global, African and regional perspective, and looks at post-apartheid trends in the internationalization of higher education. Finally, it provides an analysis, looking forward, of the essential conditions for more beneficial internationalization. This will include addressing “brain drain” and “brain gain,” global dialogue and mutual learning, and collaborative partnerships, marked by a common commitment to sound academic values, scientific integrity, ethics and social responsibility.     

An evaluation of two approaches for teaching phonemic awareness to children in Head Start

Several research studies linking early phonemic awareness to the prevention of later reading difficulties strongly suggest that phoneme segmentation and blending, rather than rhyming and alliteration abilities, are the key aspects of phonemic awareness that are related to the prevention of difficulties. Yet there is a persistent belief among many educators that instruction in rhyming and alliteration are adequate to develop phonemic awareness and developmentally more appropriate than segmentation and blending activities. Using quasi-experimental methods, I evaluated two approaches for teaching phonemic awareness to 4- and 5-year-old children in four Head Start classrooms. The first approach focused on rhymes, alliteration, and story activities. The second approach focused on phoneme segmentation and blending in the context of sounding out actual words. Results showed that children taught using the second approach produced significantly greater gains in phonemic awareness and letter–sound knowledge, compared to children using the first approach. Both approaches were more effective when teachers had previously taught attention skills to their children.     

Weekday Religious Education in Connection with the Public School

In sympathizing with a program of “release time” for religious education, I am perhaps opening myself to a torrent of attack. I shall take it, because what 1 state here is my own personal opinion

May I indulge the hope, however, that the discussions which this article may arouse, concern themselves with a realistic and logical treatment of what I have to say, rather than rhetorical invectives. The world has changed profoundly in the spiritual realm during the past quarter century. The cry goes up from our pulpits and pews for a new appreciation of religion. Yet in so many places, there is no recognition of the new demands in terms of an adjustment of positions which, formerly sound and tenable, now are quite the opposite

This statement is submitted in an open‐minded manner in the hope of stimulating frank discussion on one of today's most important problems
