SOME THOUGHTS ON DEVEL OPING THE STUDENTS‘LISTENING ABILITY

Language is the means by which people communicate with each other. At present, the teaching of listening is considered one of the most important teaching courses. Listening greatly affects communicative ability. For this reason, it is necessary for students to break through obstacles to the listening to improve their abilities. In recent years, theories have been put forward in the teaching of listening. The focus of attention has shifted from the teachers, who have tended to be the center of the class to the students. Listening and spoken English are the key features of English classes. As English teachers, we should devote ourselves to the reforms of teaching systems and develop suitable teaching methods so that we could improve the quality of listening teaching.     

SOME THOUGHTS ON THE UNESCO POLICY PAPER FOR CHANGE AND DEVELOPMENT IN HIGHER EDUCATION 1

In this article, the author reacts to a reading of the 1995 UNESCO Policy Paper for Change and Development in Higher Education. He begins by expressing concern about the overuse of practical training, the trade in the teaching of foreign medical students, and the very poor provision of information in the form of journal articles, textbooks, and computer networks in many parts of the world. He casts these concerns against certain ideals: that teaching in universities should take place in an atmosphere of research but that the number of universities that train scientists should be limited even if all universities should include a science component. Since all science doctorates should be completed rapidly so that the resulting thesis is up‐to‐date, science students should be free from dependence on teaching assistantships. Funding for higher education should be diversified; so should the institutions involved in research; however, the proliferation of small units should be avoided. In some cases, a single national or regional science institute is a good thing.

试论毛泽东农业发展战略思想

毛泽东立足于我国“一穷二白”的基本国情。明确提出只有社会主义制度才能保障全国农民摆脱贫困,走上富裕之路。他认为,粮食的增产,不仅是确保几亿人口吃的问题,还关系到能否巩固我国社会主义新政权问题。毛泽东站在我国现代化建设的全局的制高点,明确了农业的国民经济的基础地位,还强调要把农业放在经济工作中首要的地位。尽管毛泽东片面夸大了生产关系的作用,但其农业发展战略的基本思想仍具有现实的指导意义。

太平天国与传统文化略议

太平天国运动虽受到西方化的影响,但它仍承袭了中国古代历次农民战争的“奉天承运”、“改朝换代”、“太平救世”的变革思想模式。它固然对传统儒学和孔子进行了冲击,但实际上它又极力使“儒为己用”,援引孔孟儒家思想以及程朱理学思想,为自己的教义宣传、政策宣传和专制主义说教服务。在太平天国运动冲击下出现了以湘军主帅曾国藩为精神领袖的反太平天国思想的联合阵线。随着太平天国的兴起和失败,传统化的外显的应时功能被作了调整。传统化的逆反作用是清朝战败太平天国的化动因。     

SOME THOUGHTS ON ATTITUDES: A STARTING POINT FOR CREATIVE WORK WITH THE ELDERLY

Teachers who share and facilitate creativity with the elderly are working in a new field in which research and training are in fledgling stages. This article suggests that a starting point for practitioners in this field should be an investigation of their own attitudes and of their elderly students. Further, the article attempts to bridge what is known about attitudes on aging and the aged with teaching and learning experience in the arts.

STAFF DEVELOPMENT OF UNIVERSITY TEACHERS IN USSR

Staff development of university teachers has become one of the important issues facing higher education today, especially in the context of present scientific, technological and cultural changes, and is even considered imperative to lifelong education. It is also increasingly drawing the attention and interest of the staff concerned as well as of planners and decision makers in higher education.

In this context we present the following article, written for “Higher Education in Europe” by Professor Vladimir N. Siomin of the USSR's Ministry of Higher and Specialized Secondary Education.     

THE USE OF TELEVISION IN STAFF DEVELOPMENT

This paper takes closed‐circuit television as a particular example of media services support and argues that it can, and should, play a major role in staff development in further and higher education. Three main areas of use will be considered:

1. (1) an “active” role for television in the acquisition of teaching skills, e.g. in microteaching and other simulation exercises;

2. (2) a more passive role in terms of television as a recorder of events, e.g. in interaction analysis and self‐evaluation;

3. (3) collaborative ventures between media service units and other members of staff, e.g. in the production of programmes on learning packages

     

STAFF DEVELOPMENT AND “THE FOURTH REVOLUTION”

The paper‐‐an abbreviated version of the author's Conference address‐‐argues that we are in the midst of a learning revolution with which all of us, academics and students alike, must come to terms. The lecture and the printed word, as the sole means of communication in tertiary education for the large percentage of teachers and students, may be challenged. As student needs diversify, teachers will no longer be able to function using traditional skills but will need to develop new skills. It should be their duty to acquire these skills before they begin a life time of teaching     

BEYOND BUILDING BETTER CHECKLISTS: STAFF DEVELOPMENT IN A SCHOOL EXPERIENCE PROGRAMME

The article reviews the aims of the School Experience of a new B.Ed, primary degree, based on Zeichner's notion of the ‘reflective teacher’. Having established the aims, the authors then examine the implications this has for finding forms of assessment which are commensurate with the process‐orientated, formative, self‐critical nature of the degree.

The issues raised, in this article, relate to the needs of tutors in developing new roles and relationships between tutor and student, tutor and class teacher, and tutor and tutor. The resulting staff development programme — designed to support the emerging ‘reflective tutor’ — is discussed.
