女性命运与生命激情--希腊神话阅读札记

希腊神话作为人类社会早期口头文学蕴涵着丰富的人性主题，它充分体现了希腊精神中充满生命激情的一个方面。文章第一部分主要分析了希腊神话中凡间女子在面对命运挑战时所作出的反应，从中揭示出她们在梦想与欲望一旦被羁绊时爆发出的强大的生命激情。第二部分试图通过分析这种生命激情与希腊理性精神的对立，探讨这一充满生命原动力的精神的存在价值。这种生命激情虽然有时以放纵乃至邪恶的形式表现出来，但它是人类自身的一部分，不该被回避、否定，而值得被珍视、体味、探究。     

Identifying core competencies to advance female professors’ careers: an exploratory study in United States academia

This exploratory study aims to identify the core competencies necessary to successfully advance the careers of female associate professors in higher education. To ascertain these core career competencies, a critical incident interview technique was employed. One-to-one semi-structured interviews with six female full professors at a major research university in the Midwestern region of the United States were conducted. Based on participants’ career advancement experiences, the following competencies were identified: (1) making important connections, (2) fulfilling responsibilities in academia, (3) being politically savvy, (4) managing personal and professional obligations, (5) developing a sense of self-agency for one’s career, and (6) believing in one’s self in the work environment. The action-oriented findings of this research, rather than skill-based, can be easily adapted by faculty and institutions, both domestically and internationally, to improve current practices. These findings offer a unique contribution for improving the research and practice of career development among female faculty in higher education.     

Validating a computerized scoring system for assessing writing and placing students in composition courses

How do scores from writing samples generated by computerized essay scorers compare to those generated by “untrained” human scorers and what combination of scores, if any, is more accurate at placing students in composition courses? This study endeavored to answer this two-part question by evaluating the correspondence between writing sample scores generated by the IntelliMetric™ automated scoring system and scores generated by University Preparation English faculty, as well as examining the predictive validity of both the automated and human scores. The results revealed significant correlations between the faculty scores and the IntelliMetric™ scores of the ACCUPLACER™ OnLine WritePlacer Plus test. Moreover, logistic regression models that utilized the IntelliMetric™ scores and average faculty scores were more accurate at placing students (77% overall correct placement rate) than were models incorporating only the average faculty score or the IntelliMetric™ scores.

Implications of the case are discussed.Send Correspondence to Dr. Alfredo Ardila, Miami Institute of Psychology of the Caribbean Center for Advanced Studies, 8180 NW 36 Street, Second floor, Miami, Florida 33166-6612.     

独立学院大学英语写作教学现状的调查与思考

针对独立学院大学英语写作教学现状,对来自甘肃省3个独立学院361名学生和33名教师进行了抽样问卷调查和半结构访谈.调查发现,学生英语写作主要以语篇结构性差、句法问题突出和词汇"窄式"记忆为主要特点,而大学英语精读课缺乏语篇教学与语法概念的弱化、写作教学中错误反馈和纵向监控乏力是其主要原因.独立学院只有在实际教学中通过强化语篇教学与语法教学、详尽反馈写作错误并对学生的写作能力实施纵向监控才能改善现状,促进自身大学英语写作教学的健康发展.

重复效应对英语专业学生写作能力的影响

近年来重复效应在国内外得到了二语习得界不少学者的关注,同时这一效应被证实有助于学习者的二语学习。本研究以实证研究的方法,在Levelt(2008)的言语产出模式的框架下,以Van Patten(1996)的信息处理理论以及Skehan(1998)的双模式系统为理论基础探索重复效应对大学英语专业学生写作水平的影响。结果发现:重复对学习者写作的流利性和准确性都有显著的促进作用,但其复杂性没有得到显著的提高;重复对学习者写作流利性的促进作用在新任务中得到了迁移。
