Building a model to define the concept of teacher success in Hong Kong

The research studies how outstanding teachers from Hong Kong conceptualize teacher success or effectiveness. This study adds to the knowledge base concerned by raising the importance of the coexistence of personal attributes and professional qualities as well as contextual factors, in bringing out the success of a teacher. It draws the attention of teacher educators/trainers and school administrators to the necessity of viewing the concept of teacher success from a broader perspective, instead of focusing narrowly on the professional qualities of a teacher. It also provides insights for school administrators in selecting teachers or supporting their work.     

第二语言测试研究的新趋势

本文根据美国《教育测量》第四版中《第二语言测试的历史及发展趋势》一文,对第二语言测试的发展趋势做了简要介绍。该文提出,长期以来第二语言能力一般被认为是一个人稳定的特质(或构念),测量时是不变的。而新的观点认为,在测量第二语言能力时语境起了非常关键的作用。因此,研究者们应该考察语境和构念的关系,将构念重新界定为语境中的语言使用者的能力。

Bilingual language development: what do early years practitioners need to know?

This paper considers what early years practitioners need to know about bilingual acquisition. It argues that bilingualism is not only an asset in the classroom and the community, but also an individual and family achievement that requires commitment and determination. The different contexts of bilingual acquisition are considered, along with the implication for a successful outcome. In particular, given our current understanding of the processes of language acquisition, the role of the input in each of the two languages will be discussed; the implications of this for early years teachers/practitioners are also considered in order to find the most effective ways of supporting bilingual development in the classroom.

多空间融合视域下学习环境及学习情境探究

互联网、人工智能、大数据、云计算、物联网等技术的教育应用逐渐走向纵深,使得学习环境发生了深刻的变革,亟需探究符合时代背景、面向新型学习环境的教与学交互理论,探究如何设计学习环境来应对新兴技术支持的学习情境。通过分析学习情境的基本特征,探究多空间融合后学习情境革新带来的学习环境设计原则的变化。基于新技术、新理念、新方法等对教与学影响的思考,最终提出学习情境的描述框架。学习情境是一种复杂的网络现象,基于互联网技术、人工智能、大数据分析储存技术等的应用,学习情境客观存在于虚拟环境中,成为一种具有目标性的长期存在的学习活动,借助互联网实现教学知识传播与知识共享,并可以实时进行学习分析、导航、评估、反馈、调节等,学习情境成为学习的连接器和促进有效学习的助推器。     

消费时代的女性身体美学刍议

对于女性而言,身体美学的现实意义无比重大。在消费社会,时尚的女性们,她们美丽的身体正遭受来自他人和自己的无形戕害。她们塑造并经营着身体美学,展示着美丽的风景,而这些风景背后无非是商业的机巧。在消费文化语境下,媒体对女性身体美学的热望总离不开男性视点。女性身体美学沦落为美丽的商品,沦落为大众媒介的欲望化对象,为他人制造视觉快感。被时尚耳提面命的女性身体,无法伸展原有的自然美丽,而受困于大众文化语境。     

语境与幽默

幽默在社会活动中具有高效、强力的交际功能。随着社会交际的发展,人们越来越认识到幽默在社会交际中的重要性。语言的幽默性,在于其言外之意。言外之意的体现,离不开语境。本文从语言语境和非语言语境两个方面,利用语用学的观点和方法,来分析幽默语言的信息构成和幽默与语境的关系,探讨幽默语言创作的一些规律性的方法和原则。     

Solving arithmetic problems in first and second language: Does the language context matter?

Learning mathematics in a second language is a challenge for many learners. The purpose of the study was to provide new insights into the role of the language context in mathematic learning and more particularly arithmetic problem solving. We investigated this question in a German–French bilingual educational setting in Luxembourg. Participants with increasing bilingual proficiency levels were invited to solve additions in both their first and second instruction languages: German and French. Arithmetic problems were presented in two different conditions: preceded by a semantic judgment or without additional language context. In the French session we observed that additions were systematically performed faster in the condition with an additional language context. In contrast no effect of the context was observed in the German session. In conclusion, providing a language context enhanced arithmetic performances in bilinguals' second instruction language. This finding entails implications for designing optimal mathematic learning environments in multilingual educational settings.
