基于“共同体”的英语阅读课堂研究

阅读是人类认知的一个重要方面，同时也是人类社会的一种重要活动。阅读是随着文字的产生而产生的。唯其与文字的密切关系，在口头语言优先的西文语言学语境下，对于英语阅读过程的研究一直处于滞后的境地。在英语教学中，听、说、读、写四项技能，英语阅读被看成是孤立于其他各项技能的独立活动。学习者只要掌握了一定词汇和语法知识就自然会读。在此阶段，英语阅读基本上就会被当作一个自然的识字过程。

Recognizing the face of Johnny, Suzy, and me: insensitivity to the spacing among features at 4 years of age

Four-year-olds were tested for their ability to use differences in the spacing among features to recognize familiar faces. They were given a storybook depicting multiple views of 2 children. They returned to the laboratory 2 weeks later and used a "magic wand" to play a computer game that tested their ability to recognize the familiarized faces and their own face based on the spacing of features. Children performed at chance levels. Follow-up studies confirmed that they had attended to internal facial features and validated the stimuli. The results contrast with studies showing some sensitivity to the spacing of features in infants and preschool children; multiple mechanisms of face processing may make use of spatial relations and develop at different rates.     

Testing the double-deficit hypothesis in an adult sample

The double-deficit hypothesis of dyslexia posits that reading deficits are more severe in individuals with weaknesses in phonological awareness and rapid naming than in individuals with deficits in only one of these reading composite skills. In this study, the hypothesis was tested in an adult sample as a model of reading achievement. Participants were parents of children referred for evaluation of reading difficulties. Approximately half of all participants reported difficulty learning to read in childhood and a small subset demonstrated ongoing weaknesses in reading. Structural equation modeling results suggest that the double-deficit hypothesis is an accurate model for understanding adult reading achievement. Better reading achievement was associated with better phonological awareness and faster rapid automatized naming in adults. Posthoc analyses indicated that individuals with double deficits had significantly lower reading achievement than individuals with single deficits or no deficits.     

多样朗读,让语文课堂精彩纷呈

《木兰诗》是我国古代诗歌的精华,代表了北朝乐府民歌的杰出成就,历来脍炙人口,在初中语文教材中的经典地位从未动摇过。现被编录在人教版初中语文七年级下册的第二单元中。作为诗歌,其教学要求在《义务教育语文课程标准》（2011年版）中明确指出：＂诗歌教学要重视朗读,要让学生在朗读中通过品味语言,

The future of applied child development research and public policy

After reviewing a brief general history of applied child development research, this paper suggests that in the future we should study questions that society needs to answer as well as questions that might contribute to theory, and that our research methods need to be adjusted to match these types of questions. Further, academics are urged to broaden their audience from a nearly exclusive focus on other academics to a focus on the three ps--practitioners, policymakers, and the public--and to recognize that scholarship is packaged differently for these audiences. Finally, it is suggested that applied child development research should market as well as sell, partner with nonacademic groups, disseminate results more vigorously, and focus efforts on local as well as national issues.
