国内外二语习得研究对比

第二语言习得已经发展成为一门独立的边缘交叉学科,经过30多年的发展历程,近年来二语习得研究的领域不断扩展。本文在回顾二语习得研究发展里程的基础上,介绍国外二语习得的研究。同时本文对20余年来中国二语习得的研究状况也进行了全面总结,同时指出了研究中存在的不足,并就如何促进二语习得研究与我国外语教学实践的结合提出建议。     

Study Abroad and Developing Reflective Research Practice Through Blogs: A Preliminary Study from the United Kingdom

Blogs are seen as an important strand of social networking and a significant way of disseminating research ideas and sharing knowledge and perceptions with new audiences via digital platforms. The use of blogs within off-campus activities, such as study abroad field visits, have the potential to enhance students’ social media skills and confidence about becoming active researchers in public through communicating field research experiences and reflections on what they see, learn, hear, and do. Via a semi-structured questionnaire administered to UK-based university students participating in a recent Criminology program field visit to Slovenia in Europe, we assess the extent to which blogging facilitates student reflective practice on their lived experiences of undertaking research in culturally unfamiliar environments. We show that blogging combined with the whole experience of international fieldwork has a “learning gain” for students exemplified through a willingness to engage in reflective practice, self-awareness, and transferable skills.     

The global education practicum: perspectives from accompanying academics

The benefits of international education experiences for students are well documented. The effect on the individual of international experiences has been researched and theorised by authors for at least the last 20 years. In this paper the experiences of three academics who accompanied pre-service teachers on a 3 week international practicum are examined through the prism of intercultural confidence and competence. Accompanying academic Juliet reflects on dealing with the added difficulties the pre-service teachers encountered as a result of their inexperience in classroom settings. Accompanying academic Paula reflects on the challenges of “teaching-out-of-field.” Accompanying academic Sue reflects on the social and transitional challenges experienced when supporting pre-service teachers who collectively had issues related to health, safety, and interpersonal relationships. These lived experiences provide a richer understanding of the role of international partnerships in contributing to academic growth and increasing intercultural competency in tandem with their students.     

Race,Ethnicity, Class and Identity: Implications for Study Abroad

This study addresses study abroad and second language acquisition. The number of U.S. students studying abroad is increasing. However, students’ cultural and linguistic immersion experiences abroad can be disconcerting, challenging their sociocultural identities, values, learning objectives, and expectations. This study employed critical race theory to explore how a Black male student’s race, ethnicity, and class affected his interactions with locals and his language and culture learning, and how his experiences had strong repercussions on his identity negotiation process. The results of this study had strong implications for this student’s full immersion and academic learning. This article concludes with considerations for study abroad programs and how they should address discrimination, racial microaggressions, and racial battle fatigue.     

浅谈高校留学生校外住宿管理

经济全球化的发展推动了我国高等教育国际化进程。来华留学教育作为国际合作与交流的重要组成部分,不仅是改革开放的需要和重要标志,也是我国综合国力增强、国际地位提高的象征。目前我校留学生宿舍条件较为落后,部分学生选择校外租住,如何更加合理、有效地加以管理成为我们做好来华留学生工作所必须面对的问题。

Assessing multicultural competence (knowledge and awareness) in study abroad experiences

This study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of the study abroad experience on student multicultural competence (i.e. knowledge and awareness) using the Multicultural Counselling Knowledge and Awareness Scale in two study abroad programmes during four separate yearly excursions. The first study abroad programme incorporated cultural immersion and two courses taught over five weeks in Germany. The second five-week study abroad programme focused on exploring non-governmental organisations and development as well as multicultural competence in India. Effect size results indicate that both direct and indirect approaches to increasing multicultural competence can be effective in exposing students to diverse immersive multicultural perspectives, norms, rituals, and practices.

近现代中国的社会变革与妇女教育实践（1840-1949年）

从 18 4 0年中国沦为半殖民地半封建社会到 194 9年新中国的成立 ,近现代中国经历了大的社会动荡和社会变革。与此同时 ,提倡妇女解放和男女平等的社会运动和思潮带动了兴女学、女学纳入教育体制、教会办女校和女子留学等社会实践。历经近一个世纪的奋斗 ,女性的社会地位有所提高。然而从受教育的总的状况看 ,到 194 9年新中国建立前夕 ,90 %的中国妇女仍是文盲。因而 ,将解决妇女教育方面的艰巨任务留给了社会主义新中国。     

中美教育交流与合作的历史分期

中美教育交流与合作始于 19世纪 30年代。按照交流与合作的历史进程和发展特征 ,将两国教育交流与合作划分为六个时期 ,即建国前的萌芽期、初步发展期、高峰期、整顿期和建国后的中断期与恢复发展期。从历史分期可以看出 ,由于社会形态的更迭和政治文化因素的影响 ,中美教育交流与合作呈现发展的不确定性 ,但中美教育交流与合作是相互影响融合的。文化多样性发展是两国教育交流与合作的基础 ,国家的稳定与繁荣是教育交流与合作正常发展的保证
