“语言与文化”课教学策略与实践

“语言与文化”课是高校英语专业的一门专业选修课,主要教授有关语言与文化的理论以及英、汉语言文化的差异。在教授该课程时,专题讲座、任务教学、以研促学等多种教学策略的配合使用可以达到良好的教学效果,从而使学生更深入地理解两种语言差异背后的文化因素,为他们进一步学习英语和西方文化打下牢固的基础。

When talking less is more: exploring outcomes of Twitter usage in the large‐lecture hall

This article employs a mixed‐method approach to examine the outcomes produced by using Twitter in a large‐lecture course as a means to assess the pedagogical impact and potential of Twitter’s contribution to large‐lecture course dynamics. In doing so, it seeks also to explore the broader relationship between methodologies and outcomes. Exploratory in nature and design, this study proceeds from the recognition of the inherent limitations and unpredictability in investigating how new technologies transform social patterns. Such an approach allows us to question how the mode and design of our research ultimately frame the interpretation and understanding of how social media intersect and impact classroom dynamics and their potential contributions for developing more effective pedagogical strategies and outcomes.     

从“递相出入”看明代心学教育流派的师生交往

在明代中晚期,“递相出入”伴随心学教育运动而生,为心学教育流派的师生交往增添别样色彩。作为明代心学的领军代表,阳明学派和甘泉学派讲学成风,弟子云集,学派宗主王阳明和湛甘泉鼓励弟子们转益多师,共同造就出“递相出入”这一独有的师生交往形态及其教育学术生态。“递相出入”不仅宣扬自由问学精神,打破师承门户的桎梏,还富有个性鲜明的师道文化气息。它努力促进每个生命都向世界敞开,在学脉相联的交互中吐故纳新,对个体成长、学派壮大及明代心学教育学术生态的发展具有不可或缺的作用。在“递相出入”的影响下,阳明学派和甘泉学派的弟子们自觉出入于王学与湛学之间,以求同立异为学术旨归,敢于跨越门户藩篱而转相授受,形成了以“差异个性”为教学原则、“竞争合作”为教育机制、“内在约束”为管理文化、“生命关怀”为价值取向的师生气象,对当下师生交往关系的构建亦有一定启示。     

Has pedagogy,technology, and Covid-19 killed the face-to-face lecture?

The lecture has been around for centuries and has featured as a popular and frequent component in higher education courses across many disciplines including anatomy. In more recent years, there has been a growing shift toward blended learning and related pedagogies that encourage active participation of students in both face-to-face and online learning environments. Unfortunately, in many cases, the lecture, which has typically focused on the transmission of information from educator to student has not been adapted to become a more learner-oriented approach with opportunities for students to actively interact and engage. As a result, the future of whether the lecture should continue has once again become a center of debate. The consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic and its aftermath have added to this with institutions now looking to stop all lectures or offer them in an online format only. This commentary argues that lecture-style components could still feature within face-to-face and online provision, but only if they are used sparingly within a blended curriculum, have a defined use that aligns well to learning outcomes, are assessed as the most effective method pedagogically, and importantly integrate approaches and activities that promote student engagement. Anatomy educators have demonstrated for years that they are able to be at the forefront of pedagogical change and evidenced during the pandemic their agile and innovative ability to adapt and do things differently. Therefore, the fate of the lecture, at least in anatomy, may well be in their hands.     

The Pedagogical Value of the Lecture Method: The Case of a Non-Formal Education Programme in Ghana

Adult learning rests on the foundation of learner experience and involvement in the teaching and learning process. The methods employed in facilitating adult learning have to a large extent sought to place the learner at the centre of the entire teaching and learning encounter. The lecture method is one of the many methods used to facilitate learning in many educational programmes. This article reports on a study that posed the question; How effective is the lecture method in facilitating learning in non-formal adult education programmes? The case study design was used for the study. The National Functional Literacy Programme of Ghana was purposively selected for this investigation. Two classes in the programme comprising 10 adult learners and one facilitator each were purposively selected as sample for the study. It was found that the lecture method was ineffective in promoting learning in non-formal adult education programmes in Ghana since it failed to stimulate the comprehension of subject-matter and learner involvement in class activities.
