英语写作教学中的语篇分析

英语写作是建立在英语语言知识上的再创造过程。学生的每次写作都在构建一个语篇。本文拟从语篇分析的角度出发,从学生的一些典型错误入手,分析和探讨英语写作教学中的一些问题

Bilingual education through a pluri-centric approach: A case study of the effects of simultaneously learning two languages on L1 and L2 reading and writing proficiency

Language education has often been conducted based on monoglossic ideologies that keep L1 and L2 separate, a practice that receives growing criticism as out of sync with today’s multilingual globalized world. Informed by interdependence hypotheses and translanguaging theory, this research study explored the effects of a pluri-centric approach to learning L1 and L2 simultaneously. Through a bilingual intervention course with data collected from interviews, parents’ logbooks, observation field notes, questionnaires, and L1 and L2 reading and writing tests, this case study (n = 9) revealed that the approach effectively improved learners’ L1 and L2 proficiency, learning behaviour outside the classroom, self-efficacy, and confidence. Overall, the participants also perceived the bilingual course as effective, efficient, and innovative. The study provides a basis to reflect upon transferrable skills and core underlying proficiency as powerful concepts to draw upon in enhancing bilingual proficiency and effecting positive changes in learners’ behaviour and psychological well-being.     

Assessment feedback in examiner reports on master’s dissertations in translation studies

Assessment is a crucial part of degree programmes in higher education. While previous research has been primarily concerned with PhD thesis assessment practice in western countries, this article considers the focus and assessment criteria of 40 examiner reports on master’s dissertations in translation studies at a Chinese university. The results indicate that these examiners structured their reports in four rhetorical moves: ‘preparing the candidate for a decision’, ‘expressing an evaluation’, ‘conveying the decision’, and ‘making recommendations’. These examiners appeared to place more emphasis on the expression of ideas, rather than on the accuracy and originality of those ideas. They apparently adopted flexible working criteria, assessing the dissertations based on institutional requirements and on their own experience. This article concludes with a discussion of implications for dissertation writing.     

Reflection through assessment: A systematic narrative review of teacher feedback and student self-perception

Beginning with two important meta-analyses by Hattie and Timperley (2007) and Shute (2008), the relationship between teacher feedback and student self-perception has received more attention. One way students enact a self-perception is by reflectively writing about their participation within a particular field of study. The current review analyzes how teacher feedback facilitates and supports the formation of self-perception made visible in students’ reflective writing. The following electronic databases were searched up to February 2018: CINAHL, Academic Search Complete, PsycINFO, ERIC, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses, and Google Scholar. Five themes in total were constructed. These themes indicate contexts when feedback might lead to students reflecting through writing on a self-perception. Features of feedback that most likely promote this kind of reflection can be described as: content situated, dialogic, and empathic. As a secondary category of themes, feedback should position students as: fluid and/or vulnerable.     

Developing Student Metacognition through Reflective Writing in an Upper Level Undergraduate Anatomy Course

Incorporating metacognitive strategies in the classroom helps students monitor and adjust their learning strategies throughout the semester, and helps students progress from novice to expert learners in a subject. Journaling (i.e., reflective writing) is one metacognitive task that allows students to contemplate and articulate their skill development as they learn a new subject. The research reported here examines the use of ‘blogs’ (i.e., online journals) in an upper level undergraduate human anatomy course. The blogs both facilitated development of students' metacognitive skills and provided researchers insight into student metacognitive process. Data were examined from 92 students from three successive semesters (spring 2010, 2012 and 2014). Each student reviewed 10 radiology online cases throughout the semester and then reflected on their understanding of anatomy and radiology in an online blog for each case. A total of 927 blogs were examined for this research. The researchers used a grounded theory approach to analyze the blog narratives and develop a codebook based on common themes. The 927 blogs yielded 11,082 statements that were coded with the codebook. As the semester progressed, the blog entries showed that students demonstrated greater self-confidence in their abilities to understand the subject matter, expressed greater enthusiasm for anatomy in general, and they improved their metacognitive skills. This research illustrates that reflective writing in an undergraduate anatomy course not only facilitates improvement in student metacognitive skills, but also provides the instructor with evidence how a student progresses from novice to more experienced learner in anatomy.     

《周易》与欧阳修的文道观

在唐宋古文运动发展的过程中,“文道”关系一直是文人学者争论的核心问题之一,因而唐宋文道关系的演变就显得错综复杂。由“道统”、“文统”到“文以明道”,由“文道合一”到“文以载道”,最终发展为“作文害道”。欧阳修是北宋古文运动的主要领导人,他不仅提出了“道胜文至”、“道以充文”、“重道而不轻文”的文道观,而且扩充了韩愈“道”的范畴,将道分为“圣人之道”与“诞者之道”,赋予“道”崇尚实际、重视实用的新内涵。他强调：“文与道俱”,将文品与人品紧密结合,欧阳修纠正了唐宋古文运动以来“文道关系”的错误倾向,从而摆正了“文”与“道”的关系,欧阳修的“文道观”更是受到了《周易》思想的启发和影响。

论英语写作中的顺应性

语义的理解离不开语言使用的环境——语境。维索尔伦的语用学研究模式中提到语言使用具备三个重要的特征——变异性、商讨性和顺应性,其中顺应性是维索尔伦概念体系中一个非常重要的概念。结合语境,用实例具体说明体现在英语写作中顺应关系:语言要顺应语境因素,顺应英语的语言结构成分,顺应写作的动态过程。最后旨在说明在进行英语为外语的写作时结合语境,提高写作中语用顺应的意识。
