论高职院校的职业技能培养

高职院校加强职业技能培养是国家经济建设的迫切需要,是教育体系科学协调发展的迫切需要,是职业院校生存发展的迫切需要,也是学生适应人才市场竞争的迫切需要。加强职业技能培养,必须跨越目前存在的观念上、教学上、管理上的误区,迅速制定专业培养目标,建设好双师型教师队伍和实习实训基地,向课堂教学要能力,创造全方位技能培养的氛围。     

Later life learning experiences: listening to the voices of Chinese elders in Hong Kong

Abstract

Governments’ anxieties about ageing populations are mostly concerned with the costs of welfare, care and health provision which all have to be paid for by an ever dwindling working population. However, research in later life learning indicates the significant role that lifelong learning can play in promoting mental well-being and resilience, and in assisting with maintaining personal self-confidence and self-coping strategies that prevent cognitive decline in an ageing population. This paper draws on the research with a group of Chinese elders in Hong Kong, who provide information about their experiences and views on learning in later life, including the meaning of learning, barriers to participation, learning interests, needs, motivations, and instructional preferences. Both quantitative and qualitative findings are reported to shed light on later life learning experiences, which contribute to the global understanding of later life learning and serve to inform the development of policy and practice geared to the planning and provision of opportunities to keep learning at the later stages of life.     

A Novel Whiteheadean Science Program for 14-16 Year Olds in England and Wales

A novel “Whiteheadean” science program was initiated in England and Wales in September 2006. Following a critical House of Commons report in 2002, the government altered the National Curriculum targets and thus forced the Examination Boards to alter their specifications in order to come in line. Assessment at GCSE level (i.e., the 14-16 year cohort) was criticised for: a) failing to inspire students to continue with science, b) discouraging students from thinking for themselves, c) neglecting contemporary science, d) lacking flexibility, and e) making practical work into a tedious and dull activity. The British government has insisted that all pupils in state funded schools must know the names of some modern scientists and their work. They must discuss some current scientific problems. History and philosophy of science is included under the topic heading “How Science Works.” In Chemistry these objectives have destroyed the traditional linear top-down sequential approach of teaching into an approach based more closely on Whiteheadean lines (cf., the ideas expressed in The Aims of Education, 1926, Chapters 1-3).     

从目的论看林语堂英译《浮生六记》

翻译的"目的论"认为,所有翻译要遵循的首要法则就是"目的法则"。翻译行为所要达到的目的决定整个翻译行为的过程。由于译文预期达到的目的或功能不同,决定它在翻译过程中处理方法的不同。翻译不是纯语言的转换活动,它体现了不同文化之间的交流。因此,如何处理文化差异现象是不容忽视的问题。依据"目的法则",林语堂在《浮生六记》的英译本中善于兼用归化和异化的方法,既符合英语的表达习惯,又保留了中国文化的特点,达到了两者的满意结合。     

转型、困惑与出路——美国“进步主义运动”略论

19、20世纪之交美国社会经济的巨变和转型促成了“进步主义运动”的兴起。运动的倡导者源自美国社会各主要阶层和集团，共同的社会责任感和危机意识将其维系在一起。作为自由主义改革的集大成者，这场运动从19世纪后期美国的各类改革实践中汲取营养，以之作为渊源和动力并有所超越。由于该时期美国社会转型的复杂性，“进步主义运动”也蕴涵诸多悖论，对其加以准确释读对于观照普遍意义上的资本主义转型不无裨益。     

形近字简化分化过程的探讨

关于形近字的形成原因，有人认为是汉字演变过程中分化与简化的结果，但没有较详细的论证。笔者以现代汉字中的一些形近字为对象，分析了几十组彼此间有音义关系或是有造字义联系的形近字，并探讨了其形成的过程，以期揭示一些由汉字分化与简化形成的形近字的成因，给汉字研究和汉字教学提供一些参考资料。     

正确理解JEFC中的课文提示提高中学英语课堂教学质量

在中国,外语教学的主要渠道是课堂教学.课堂教学质量的提高很大程度上取决于教师能否使用现有教材,组织起成功有效的教学活动.现行的初中英语教科书(人教社1996年版)在教学内容上使用了"透明法"进行编写.当教师看到每一课的语文提示语时,就知道每一部分内容应该采用什么样的教学方法.文章以输入到输出的一般课堂教学规律为指导,剖析了JEFC中的一些主要课文提示语,阐述了它们在教学活动中所具有的特殊意义,以及它们之间和它们与其他提示语之间的关系.目的是让英语教师正确理解它们作为提示语的作用,更好地组织起课堂教学活动,提高课堂教学质量.     

超导体中的双体模型

在戈德（Gorter．C．J）和卡西米尔（Casimir．H．B．G）的二流体模型的基础上，建立了适合于高温超导体的新模型──双体模型，通过论证，双体模型是合理的．     

英、汉难易结构对比

在Chomsky(1977，1982)和Kim（1996）的研究基础上，将英、汉难易结构进行了对比。一方面，英、汉难易结构具有相同参数值，另一方面，表面形态是难易结构的句子，在英文中只能理解成难易结构，而在汉语中，它有时还可理解成“假”难易结构。此外，在英文中，难易结构的语义只能由难易结构表达，而在汉语里，它还可以由“被动”难易结构表达。最后，也许正是由于英、汉难易结构在参数值方面的同一和他们在各自语言体系中与相关结构的关系方面的不同一，导致以汉语为母语的习得者学习英文难易结构的困难。     

词类活用理论批评
