Evaluating a Web-Based Listening Programme for Chinese University Non-English Majors

With the development of information technology, computer-assisted language learning is becoming a trend in foreign language teaching environment. It is argued that characterized by the universal availability of authentic materials, the multimedia capability and the nonlinear （hypermedia） structure of the information, the World Wide Web have the potential to enhance language learning. This paper evaluates a web-based listening programme in terms of language learning potential, learner fit, authenticity and impact. It concludes with the appropriateness of the tasks designed in this programme.     

The impact of teacher professional conduct on learner experiences and performance in poor school communities in South Africa

A qualitative based study was undertaken to explore the impact of teacher professional conduct on learner experiences and performance in three poor primary schools in a disadvantaged community in Cape Town, South Africa. Data was gathered through individual and focus-group interviews, observations and document reviews. The paper uses the capabilities approach to show how teacher professional conduct impact on the aspirations of primary school learners. The paper highlights the silent role limited learning resources, contextual challenges, learner backgrounds, dysfunctional school management systems and policy play in exacerbating teacher unprofessionalism and learner unfreedoms in high-poverty-level areas. It also stresses the critical role the education system has to play in normalising teacher professional conduct by reassessing the impact of these constraints in the classroom. Teachers as part of the change process have to be accountable for their own actions and also voluntarily change their attitudes when dealing with learners.     

A tale of two narratives: student voice—what lies before us?

As the last century closed, and a bright new millennium dawned, the concept of ‘student voice’ within education emerged as something to be ‘identified’ and ‘captured’. In effect, it became reified and driven by a raft of government and institutional policies and strategic initiatives; initially within the compulsory sector, but soon followed by the post-compulsory sector as the 2000s moved on. In an increasingly quasi-consumerist environment, a mechanism had emerged with potential to ‘measure’ student satisfaction. Institutions quickly took up the ‘call to arms’, assigning responsibilities to ensure there was evidence of ‘student voice’ engagement; but there was no conversation with the ‘students’ about how this was experienced by them. This concept had become a ‘portmanteau’ term; a ‘catch all’ competing between two narratives—student voice as democratic and transformational; and student voice as ‘policy’ and strategic initiative. Formal research that could contribute to this discussion has been sparse and this paper takes a critical stance to the literature and policy, exploring the current status of student voice and proposing a research focus that has the potential to involve students in a discussion about how their voice is heard, and for what purpose.

教师作为学习者的专业化发展理念及路径

传统学习观基于现在与未来、学校与社会、手段与目的等对立的二元认识论,窒息个体及其职业的生命发展;时代的进步和人性的觉醒则赋予学习是人之存在和发展的生命属性,学习不仅丰富了人的生命内涵和人生意义,而且彰显着人类向善的美德。因此,教师作为学习者,既是教师之为人的生命写照,也是教师职业专业化的特色所在,其学习者角色是学生学习的内在诉求,也是教学相长的机理所在,更是教师职业伦理的美德。践行学习者专业化发展理念,教师学习的路径包括学习的时空内生于教育实践,学习的老师即"不教之师"--学生,学习的机理则是自我教育。

韩国留学生"一样"句及"不一样"句的使用情况考察

比较韩国留学生作文与汉语本族语者语料就“一样“句及“不一样“句的使用,发现中介语中“不一样“句的使用频率远远高于本族语者语料.初、中、高级各阶段的主要偏误有相同点也有阶段性.从偏误率上看,初级的偏误率最高,中级的偏误率最低,高级的偏误率高于中级,可见即使到了高年级,在教学中还要重视语法的巩固,强调表达的准确性.     

Apprenticeship in England – the continued role of the academic–vocational divide in shaping learner identities

Successive governments have pledged to enhance the quality of apprenticeship in Britain so as to achieve ‘parity of esteem’ with academic study. Yet, at the same time, the discourse of the academic-vocational divide has dominated the academic, policy-maker and practitioner debates. This paper draws on two recent studies designed to explore the learner identities of apprentices on different apprenticeship programmes: motor vehicle maintenance (level 2) and engineering (level 3). Through this work, we are able to explore the role of the academic–vocational divide in identity construction and to challenge assumptions about vocational learners. It will be argued, that, far from being ‘naturally practical’, the young people draw on normative discursive categories in their construction of continuous identities. The findings raise important questions about the UK apprenticeship system as currently conceived, while at the same time drawing attention to the possibility for change.
