言尽意:语言表意的自觉性——论中国古代“言尽意”理论的发展

“言尽意”是古人一直追求的目标。孔子提出“辞达而已矣”的命题,开启了后世对“言尽意”问题的广泛探讨。欧阳建的《言尽意论》从哲学上发挥了孔子的思想,紧紧抓住名与物、言与理的统一表达自己的言意观,非常强烈地冲击了玄学家的“言不尽意”的诡辨。范晔开始从言与意统一的立场出发提出言与意的等级与轻重问题,实现了“言尽意”由纯粹理论问题向实践问题的转变。此后,杜牧强调“辞愈朴而文愈高”;苏轼追求语言的平淡,强调“了然于心”;李东阳从审美创造和接受这两个角度论述“言尽意”的意蕴;恽敬把辞达与作者的心、神、气、知联系起来;以及古人对声律与表意的关系的认识,等等,都是“言尽意”理论的重要收获。     

外语教学课堂中的游戏

语言习得的过程以及习得的效果在很大程度上会从习得者心理上，特别是情感上加强过滤作用，因此语言教学的过程应当最大化教学内容、教学方法的多样性来降低这种过滤作用对习得的迁移作用。语言教学课堂中的游戏绝不仅仅只是吸引学生注意力，打发教学任务完成时间的工具，而恰恰可以鼓励习得者在不知不觉之间真正地用语言交流。本文通过对一些常用的具有很高调适性的语言教学课堂中的游戏的总结，希望使语言课堂中的游戏在辅助教学的过程中成为语言教学以及教学者和习得者之间的纽带。     

Korean EFL teachers’ perceptions of the impact of EFL teacher education upon their classroom teaching practices

This study employed qualitative data collection and analysis methods to investigate the influence of English as a foreign language teacher education programme on Korean teachers’ classroom teaching practices. Six in-service secondary-school teachers participated in semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis was applied to the data collected from these interviews. Findings from the analysis included that: a) most of the teachers were dissatisfied with the largely theory-oriented pre-service teacher education programmes that they attended; b) a major source of influence on their teaching was their experience of in-service teacher training programmes with practical curricula; c) observation of other fellow teachers’ teaching had the strongest impact upon the teachers’ teaching practices; and d) the teachers’ low English proficiency and the washback effect of the Korea Scholastic Aptitude Test hindered the maintenance of the changes brought about by in-service teacher education programmes. This study ends with a discussion of the implications of these findings.     

Sustaining and retaining beginning special educators: It takes a village

The need to support and retain beginning teachers has become critical given: (1) the shortage of teachers in certain disciplines, and (2) the current emphasis on teacher qualifications and student achievement. In this study, five first year special education teachers in the southwestern section of the United States provided information on the persons and activities that supplied them with much needed and valued support. The results indicate that having a strong network of support and a variety of resources positively influenced these teachers’ ability to focus on student learning and on their intent to remain in their positions.

EFL teachers’ perceptions of English language policy at the elementary level in Taiwan

Due in large part to the trends towards economic globalization, English has become the most widely disseminated and ubiquitous international language. The purpose of the study was to investigate what Taiwan’s EFL teachers at the elementary level believe about the policy of English as a compulsory subject and how they perceive the benefits and obstacles of the policy’s implementation. Ten elementary English teachers in Tainan City and its suburban areas participated in this study. Data were collected through teachers’ interviews, classroom observation and document analysis. Results found that all ten teachers agreed with the policy for English as a compulsory subject at the elementary level. They observed both positive and negative sides of this top‐down policy. Classroom observation and interview data revealed that EFL teachers had to plan their English classes with the constraints on a large class of students with mixed levels of proficiency, limited teaching hours and resources. Parents’ expectations of and attitudes towards English learning also became an obstacle.
