地方本科院校学生外语思维水平培养目标管理体系研究

当下我国外语专业的学生在思维水平与思辨能力方面的低下已经引起了专业外语教师的广泛关注,因而分析该问题的引发原因是解决这一问题的关键一步,本文拟从外语语言以及思维水平方面入手,集中分析研究引发学生外语思维水平低下的原因,并对症下药,侧重基础阶段的学生外语思维习惯及其能力的开发研究,旨在建构我国研究大学生外语思辨能力培养的理论,并提供可操作的实践导向,集中解决外语专业学生思维水平与思辨能力低下的问题。     

大学英语教学中对学生思辨能力培养策略的探讨

正国内外已有不少学者对思辨能力的培养进行了研究,其中既包括思辨能力培养的理论框架,也包括如何提高思辨能力的实证研究,我国的这些理论和实证研究基本上都是以外语专业学生为研究对象,对非外语专业学生思辨能力的研究比较匮乏,对独立学院学生思辨能力的研究则更少,涉及到独立学院学生思辨能力的文献只有文秋芳等所著的《中国外语类大学生思辨能力现状研究》,其用加利福尼亚思辨倾向问卷(CCTDI)对我国18,825     

地方高校外语专业大学生思辨能力培养策略

随着全球化经济的不断发展,我国与其它各国之间的联系越来越密切,对外语专业人才的需求也越来越高,不仅需要外语人才具备专业的语言交际能力,同时还需要具备较强的思辨能力,能够灵活运用所学的外语知识。但是现在我国地方高校外语专业教学中存在重语言轻思维、重技巧轻能力的问题,学生的思辨能力不高,一旦遇到特殊问题,无法充分发挥自己的思维能力,灵活运用所学的外语知识,因此高校外语教学中需要重视对大学生思辨能力的培养,从而培养除符合国家和社会需求的应用型外语人才。     

口译教学与外语专业学生的思辨能力培养策略探析

思辨能力是外语类大学生应当具有的一项重要能力。然而外语专业学生却普遍被认为缺乏创造性思维能力,即所说的"思辨缺席"。通过口译教学,培养学生自发探寻有效的学习策略和应对策略,则能够在一定程度上促进学生在这方面能力的提高。     

外语专业学生思辨能力的培养与提高——对高级英语课堂的反思

"思辨能力"的培养是高等教育的主要目标,也是外语专业发展的重中之重。由于目前的外语专业教学大纲和课程设置未能很好地提高学生的思辨能力,本文介绍了几种高级英语课堂中的相关活动,如主题PPT展示,小组研究报告和拼接式学习,以提高外语专业学生的思辨能力。根据学生的课程反馈,通过活动的开展,其思辨能力得以提高。     

论外语专业学生思辨能力的培养——以日语专业学生为例

思辨能力对于社会或个人的发展都至关重要。外语专业学生是沟通多元文化的桥梁,其素质和能力将直接影响我国的对外经济文化交往。由于学科特点等原因,外语专业学生的思辨能力普遍较为薄弱,近年来已引起教育界的批评和关注。外语教育工作者和相关部门应进行教学方法、课程设置、管理体制等方面的改革,以提高其思辨能力,为我国的经济文化发展输送高素质的外语人才。     

从职业教育的终极目标谈高校公共外语教学中的学生思辨能力培养

职业教育的终极目标是推动社会生产力的发展,加快国家产业结构的调整与转型。要想实现这个目标,在进行职业教育的过程中,就需要格外侧重于创新型人才的培养,而思辨能力被公认为是创新型人才应具备的核心能力,并且是衡量高素质人才的国际标准之一。高校大学生作为创新型人才培养的生力军,其思辨能力的高低直接影响着创新型人才的质量,而我国高校学生的思辨能力水平着实令教育者焦急。公共外语课程作为一门贯穿整个大学学制的基础性课程,在人文素质教育、思辨能力培养方面具有独特的学科优势。在培养创新型人才的需求和教育思路下,面对当前高校大学生思辨能力缺乏的现状,如何在公共外语课程教学当中利用学科优势,引导、培养学生思辨能力,消除外语教学过程中对思辨能力培养不足的欠缺,成为当前高校外语教育者应该思考的问题。     

在阅读教学中提高英语专业学生思辨能力探究

思辨能力是高等教育的核心技能之一,很多研究表明外语专业学生思辨能力的发展相对滞后,学外语的学生很容易患上"思辨缺席症"。那么,如何在具体的教学实践中培养学生的思辨能力呢?此论文以阅读课教学为突破口,首先介绍了思辨能力的概念和标准,接下来从课堂教学设计、组织课堂教学以及课堂教学效果评价三方面结合案例教学探讨了阅读课教师应该如何组织教学以培养学生的思辨能力。     

英语教学中培养学生思辨能力路径探讨

长期以来,我国外语专业学生在分析、推理、评价、综合、辨析等思辨能力方面的表现却饱受批评,外语专业学生的思辨能力甚至比其他文科类学生的思辨能力还要差。这很大程度上是由于传统的英语教学模式侧重于学生外语基本能力的培养,而忽视了学生思维能力的培养。文章通过探讨英语教学中培养学生思辨能力的意义和存在的问题,探索出了一套培养学生思辨能力的途径。     

思辨缺席与Seminar教学范式

在西方国家,思辨能力的发展被视为高等教育的核心技能之一,其相关理论、方法论和教学实践研究成果丰硕。相比之下我国的相关研究尚不充分,学生思辨能力的培养并未得到足够的重视。思辨缺席是近年来我国外语界研究的一个热点问题。如果从教学实践的角度观察外语专业研究生思辨能力的培养,我国学者认为在研究生课程中采用Seminar教学范式是提高学生思辨能力的有效途径。     

Privilege,Prejudice, Predicament: “PRC Scholars” in Singapore—An Overview

With the rise of educational mobilities worldwide, students’ experiences of educational sojourn, especially that of the Chinese Mainland students, have come under greater research attention in recent years. Amongst diverse kinds of Chinese students/scholars abroad, this paper focuses on a type that finds themselves in a unique country under equally unique circumstances: Chinese students studying at pre- and undergraduate levels in Singapore under Singapore’s government-sponsored “foreign talent” scholarship schemes. Based on an ethnographic study conducted over a 16-month period in China and Singapore, this paper presents an overview account of these Chinese student-scholars’ sociocultural experiences in Singapore under three headings: (1) privilege—how Singapore’s “foreign talent” policy endows considerable privileges, opportunities, but also responsibilities on these Chinese students; (2) prejudice—how and why these PRC “foreign talents” encounter certain local discourses of discrimination and exclusion; and (3) predicament—how they sometimes experience complex and conflicted feelings about being made Singapore’s “foreign talent.”     

外语教育“课程思政”之我见

“立德树人、服务国家”是当前我国高等教育的主导方针,体现国家人才培养战略。外语教育应主动适应国家人才需求,全面落实“立德树人”这一根本任务。因此,有必要将“课程思政”理念融入外语专业课程教学。本文拟以“当代西方人文精神概论”的课程思政教学实践为例,进一步阐发外语教育如何把握中国立场,实现主流意识形态价值观引领,进而推动高素质外语人才培养。     

外语教学中学生评判性思维能力的培养

在21世纪新时代背景下,外语教学既是一门语言课程,又是一门加强学生评判精神、培养学生创新能力的教育课。外语教学与教育学相融合,语言技能的培养与评判性思维能力的培养相结合,已日显重要。要培养学生的评判性思维能力,造就创新人才,必须实现教学观念的转变、教学方法的改进,构建民主和谐的课堂氛围和“多维度”的教学评估模式,引导和鼓励学生“换位思考”、“对比思考”、“设疑思考”。     

Keeping Up Appearances before the “Other”? Interculturality and Occidentalism in the Educational TV-Program “Happy Chinese”

“Happy Chinese” or kuaile hanyu is an educational melodrama produced by the Chinese TV channel CCTV in 2009. Aiming to improve foreign learners’ Chinese language skills, the plot revolves around Susan, an American, staying with her former Chinese classmate’s family. “Happy Chinese” proposes both language and cultural learning. In this paper, the authors are examining the first seven episodes marking Susan’s arrival in China for the Spring Festival. Basing the study on a postmodern and critical approach to the “intercultural,” as well as on a critical view towards Orientalism and Occidentalism, the authors are interested in how the programme constructs the arrival of the American and the way she is perceived and represented by the “locals.” The authors are also looking into what the Chinese family teaches Susan about being Chinese and, at the same time, the tensions that a certain tendency to “keep up appearances” and appear “real Chinese” before her trigger in the family, across generation and gender. The research tools used to analyze the data are derived from discursive pragmatics.     

“一带一路”倡议下外高加索语言教育服务

外高加索地区是“一带一路”倡议重要的沿线区域,语言服务在双方共建“一带一路”和实现“五通”中起着重要作用。借助于文献法、比较分析法和归纳法对“一带一路”倡议下外高加索地区的语言教育服务现状进行了研究,发现存在语言服务规划待完善、非通用语言人才培养不足、汉语国际教育力量偏弱、师资团队建设待改进等问题,提出了加强宏观战略指导与政策规划、实施多元化汉语国际人才培养模式、加强双方高校教育合作和人才联合培养、优化教学提高语言人才培养质量、优化师资队伍建设等应对策略与建议。     

Effects of a concept mapping-based problem-posing approach on students’ learning achievements and critical thinking tendency: An application in Classical Chinese learning contexts

In language courses, it is important to foster students’ systematic thinking and to develop their competence to express, appreciate, criticize and reflect, in particular in such courses as classical Chinese, which aim to develop students’ cultural and literature knowledge. Problem posing is a promising strategy to achieve this objective. However, without sufficient supports, students could feel frustrated since problem posing is a challenging task, in particular for young students. In this study, a fill-in concept mapping-based problem-posing approach was proposed to address this problem. A learning system was developed based on the proposed approach and a quasi-experiment was conducted on an eighth-grade classical Chinese course to evaluate the performance of the proposed approach. The experimental results show that the concept mapping-based problem-posing approach improved the students’ learning achievement, critical thinking tendency and problem-posing quality. The interview results further show that the students perceived the approach as being effective from the perspectives of “Improving article comprehension,” “Improving problem-posing performances,” and “Boosting diverse thinking.”     

文化诗学视域下王国维“想象”批评说

王国维《屈子文学之精神》中的“想象”,是化合了中西方意涵而形成的批评术语,不同于在中国古籍中的“回忆”“回想”之意,“想象”一词在经历中外交流过程后,具有了自觉能动的创造性意涵。这里的“想象”作为文学的原质,与构思、创作中的原始思维方式、人生理想相关联,成为文学批评中最重要的标准之一。王国维的“想象”批评说突破了以儒家思想规范为主的批评标准、以考证注疏为主的批评方式,很大程度上改变了我国文论的基本面貌,推动了中国文论的现代性转型。     

新时代高校外语专业的人才培养

随着新文科建设在我国高校全面展开,外语专业的创新发展成为备受关注的议题。新文科建设背景下的外语专业,是创新课程体系和教学模式的新外语。新外语建设基于《国标》和《指南》,以“讲好中国故事”为指引,培养的是能够传播中国、沟通世界的新型人才。外语专业的教师需要准确把握新文科建设理念,不断探索新时代外语专业人才培养的新路径。     

培育三种意识培养三种能力-应用型大学汉语言文学专业人才培养的价值核心

在国家宏观政策对新型大学的应用型定位和技能型转变的背景下，传统专业面临着严峻的挑战。汉语言文学专业应充分发挥累积优势，积极谋求转变，致力于培养适应时代需要，理论学养和实践能力倶佳、感性敏悟与理性思辨兼备的应用型人才。一方面，要注重培育学生的审美意识、历史意识和开放意识，另一方面，则要着重培养学生的阅读能力、鉴赏能力和表达能力，努力实现专业人才培养的目标和任务。     

A critical scholar’s journey in China: A brief Freirean analysis of insider–outsider tensions

As a full-time foreign faculty member in the Chinese Normal university system for the past five years, I analyze the contested terrain of being a critical, Freirean educator/researcher as an insider and outsider of Chinese and Western academic systems and societies overall. This autobiographical analysis is within the contexts of China’s academic focus on raising their global higher education rankings, along with self-reflectivity of my own multiple, often-conflicting identities and Western-centric Orientalism, theorized by Edward Said, in my legitimization of academic work. The following themes are analyzed through critical and Freirean frameworks: pursuit for top rankings coinciding and conflicting with scholarship breadth and depth, academic freedom, and politics of education; constructs of “harmony” that grounds teaching and research; and select pedagogical commonalities and differences between the East, the Global South, and the West. The article delves into preconceptions, including my own, on what is “worthy” academics from China, “the East”, “the West”, and the “Global South” with self-reflectivity of problematizing such terminology that covers such immense diversity in all aspects of contexts, including education which underscores the very problems with rankings, especially global rankings which are often Western-centric. All themes will be analyzed within my own, conflicting insider-ness and outsider-ness.
