动态语境对间接言语行为制约的运作机制研究——以赵本山小品《不差钱》为例

间接言语行为的实施和理解受到动态语境的制约。本文旨在探讨动态语境对间接言语行为制约的运作机制。在对动态语境的定义作进一步梳理的基础上,提出动态语境对间接言语行为制约的要素包括语境中的＂有言在先＂、社会文化背景和交际双方互动的即时语境。语境中的静态语境在交际双方互动时,被激活而成为动态的语境。所谓动态语境其实是动态语境与静态语境的结合,它是在语用中由交际双方协同构建的。     

英语语体知识与大学英语教学

大学生入学时英语水平较以往有了提高,这就对大学英语教学提出了新要求,即英语的教和学不能局限于对课本中词句的讲解和篇章的分析,还要了解语体知识,分析各种文体文章的类别和在不同语境中的特点,使学生在实际运用中能够规范得体,从而提高英语综合运用能力。     

Classroom action research on formative assessment in a context-based chemistry course

Context-based science courses stimulate students to reconstruct the information presented by connecting to their prior knowledge and experiences. However, students need support. Formative assessments inform both teacher and students about students’ knowledge deficiencies and misconceptions and how students can be supported. Research on formative assessments suggests a positive impact on students’ science achievement, although its success depends on how the formative assessment is implemented in class. The aim of this study was to provide insights into the effects of formative assessments on achievement during a context-based chemistry course on lactic acid. In a classroom action research setting, a pre-test/post-test control group design with switching replications was applied. Student achievement was measured in two pre-tests, two post-tests and a retention test. Participants were Grade 9 students from one secondary school in the Netherlands. Repeated-measures analysis showed a significant effect of formative assessments on students’ achievement. During the implementation of the formative assessments, intriguing discussions emerged between students, between students and teacher, and between teachers. Adding formative assessments to context-based approaches reinforces their strength to meet with the current challenges of chemistry education. Formative assessments affect students’ achievement positively and stimulate feedback between students and teacher(s).     

批判格莱斯合作原则,探索理解会话含义的新途径

:由于会话含义是隐含于字面意义中的说话者的真实意义 ,缺乏直观性 ,这就为语言的理解 ,特别是跨文化交际中会话含义的理解带来了困难。而格莱斯合作原则只是在微观方面分析了会话含义的产生 ,具有自身的局限性 ,只有结合宏观方面 ,把二者统一起来 ,才能全面地理解会话含义     

语法里的歧义现象

歧义是比较常见的语法现象.最普通的歧义由多义词引起.另外,句子构造层次、语法关系、成分的类型不同,也会造成句法歧义.词汇以外的原因引起的歧义是语境歧义.这三种歧义现象使语言的运用更加丰富多彩.     

基于泉州海丝申遗的跨文化语言服务人才培养模式研究——以泉州师范学院为例

“一带一路”,语言铺路,语言是构建成功交流的重要桥梁。泉州目前正努力地以古泉州(刺桐)史迹申请世界文化遗产,为了让世界了解泉州,让泉州走向世界,就需要一批既懂语言基本技能的语言人才又懂泉州灿烂历史文化的文化人才。基于泉州海丝申遗,着力改变大学语言人才的培养模式,探索新形势下多方互动的联合培养模式,共同培养具有跨文化语言应用能力的服务人才,为海丝申遗和“一带一路”建设发挥积极的作用。     

论认知语境与英语多媒体教学的整合与同构

自上世纪末,我国语言学界掀起了研究认知语言学热潮,尤其是对认知语境与关联理论在对语言教学的指导方面推崇备致,而多媒体在语言教学中的作用却受到了某些人士的质疑。本文的目的在于揭示认知语境和关联理论在指导教学中的局限性,并通过多媒体与传统教学手段进行比照,说明多媒体教学比传统教学更能有效地解决认知语境与关联理论的这一局限性。     

Developing cultural competency in higher education: an agenda for practice

As a result of changing national values and unrest, demographic and population shifts, and ever-changing admissions practices and policies, implementing a diversity and cultural-competency agenda within university settings has become a priority across the UK, Europe, and US. Furthermore, public institutions across the UK, EU, and US are now more racially and ethnically diverse than ever [Snyder, T. D., C. Debray, and S. A. Dillow. 2016. ‘Digest of Education Statistics 2016.’ NCES 2016-006. National Centre for Education Statistics; Sursock, Andree. 2015. Trends 2015: Learning and Teaching in European Universities. European University Association. Accessed October 28 2017. www.eua.be/Libraries/publicationshomepage-list/EUA_Trends_2015_web.]. Yet, cultural competency efforts on campuses remain largely under theorized [Bezrukova, K., K. A. Jehn, and C. S. Spell. 2012. “Reviewing Diversity Training: Where We Have Been and Where We Should Go.” Academy of Management Learning and Education 11 (2): 207–227] and diffuse [Sue, S., D. C. Fujino, L. T. Hu, D. T. Takeuchi, and N. W. Zane. 1991. ‘Community Mental Health Services for Ethnic Minority Groups: A Test of the Cultural Responsiveness Hypothesis.’ Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology 59 (4): 533–540]. This article seeks to outline an agenda for this work, highlighting outcomes of cultural competency learning and underscoring the role of campus leadership in the development of supportive characteristics. These characteristics include attention to shared knowledge, professional learning at all levels of the organization, inclusive instructional methods, integration with other campus initiatives, and inclusivity of diversity foci. Posited are six supportive conditions for successful implementation.
