跨文化交际预测理论与大学英语听力能力训练

英语听力能力的训练尽管与读、写、说、译同为英语基本技能,但在实际教学中并未受到足够重视。中国学习者训练英语听力能力的过程在本质上也是跨文化交际的一部分,因而跨文化交际的预测理论对听力能力的训练具有一定的指导意义。本文从具体的听力材料出发,分析了跨文化交际预测理论在帮助学生积极主动、透彻全面理解材料中的作用,得出结论,预测应该作为英语听力教和学中必不可少的一部分对待。

社会矛盾的主要成因分析

经济基础是社会矛盾得以生成、加剧或化解的根本性原因:一方面,经济基础决定着社会阶层结构亦即社会力量对比结构,而一定的社会阶层结构又决定着一定的利益结构;另一方面,经济基础决定着社会矛盾得以化解的可能空间。物质利益是社会矛盾直接、具体的原因。社会矛盾数量的多少及强度的大小,在很大程度上直接取决于利益结构的公正与否,或者说在很大程度上直接取决于利益结构不公正程度的高低。非物质利益因素对社会矛盾有着重要的影响,在某些特定情境下甚至会产生重大的影响。转型期这样一个特定的历史时期,对于社会矛盾的成因具有一种加剧、放大、挤压的效应,从而使得大量的社会矛盾呈现出多样化演化的情形。     

General University Requirements at Hong Kong Polytechnic University: evaluation findings based on student focus groups

Under the new four-year undergraduate programme, a general education framework titled ‘General University Requirements’ (GUR) has been developed and implemented since 2012/2013 at Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU). To evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of the GUR in its first year, focus group interviews with students were carried out. In 13 focus groups, 62 first-year students from eight faculties/schools who took GUR subjects in 2012/2013 academic year were interviewed by trained researchers. Results showed that students generally had good perceptions of the GUR in terms of the subject content, teaching methods and the overall effectiveness of the subjects. The interactive teaching and learning initiatives adopted in GUR subjects were particularly appreciated, although students expressed minor concerns on the administration of GUR subjects. The results suggest that the first-year implementation of the GUR at PolyU was generally smooth and successful from the perspectives of the students.     

College education and attitudes toward democracy in China: an empirical study

The modernization theory contends that there is a link between education and democracy. Yet few empirical studies have been done to investigate the role of higher education on promoting democratic values in the Chinese context. Using China General Social Survey 2006, this paper generates several findings which are not completely consistent with the existing theoretical explanations on political development. Specifically, the college-educated Chinese citizens not only agree that there is need to improve democracy, but support various types of political participation and resist the government-oriented petitioning. However, though entrepreneurial elites (private business owners) and political elites (Chinese communist party members) demonstrate preference to democracy in principle, empirical evidence suggests that they are much less likely to support political participation that challenges the authoritarian regime in China compared to knowledge-based elites (college-educated adults).     

从图式理论视角探析大学英语听力教学

听力是英语学习中的重要部分,然而学习者在练习听力过程中通常只关注音、词、语法等语言知识,忽略了背景知识在听力理解过程中发挥的重要作用。近年来,一些学者引进了新的听力教学理念,提倡采用以图式理论为基础的听力教学模式。主要从图式理论角度对大学英语听力教学进行了分析、思考。
