关于听力理解

听力理解是一个复杂、积极的过程。听者不是被动地接收听觉符号，而是要采用“自上而下”的过程(利用已知信息)和“自下而上”的过程(分析语言特点)。因此，比起其它语言能力，听力对学习者的要求更高。     

数学理解及理解障碍的探究

理解在数学学习中占有重要的地位，因此数学理解障碍是数学学习障碍中的一种重要障碍．如果不注重学生是否具有理解的意向，不了解学生的认知水平，就不能帮助学生克服障碍．在教学上，可以通过创设恰当、有趣的教学情境、帮助学生生成正确的数学表象、注重数学交流等途径来排除理解障碍．

由直译和意译之争所引起的思考

回顾我国翻译史上直译意译之争,可知直译意译走向融合是必然的,同时,现代翻译应体现以下三个基本特征:民族性、时代性、通俗性。     

语辞反讽理解的认知语用阐释

反讽的研究目前在语言学界颇受重视。反讽的识别与使用具有很强的认知性与语用效力。RT、CB与Implicit Display Theory对解释语辞反讽有着各自的理论优势，将它们结合起来更有价值。语境的制约作用与认知的偏差作用阐释了反讽的对立本质特性。

Personalized learning in iSTART: Past modifications and future design

Abstract

Computer-based learning environments (CBLEs) provide unprecedented opportunities for personalized learning at scale. One such system, iSTART (Interactive Strategy Training for Active Reading and Thinking) is an adaptive, game-based tutoring system for reading comprehension. This paper describes how efforts to increase personalized learning have improved the system. It also provides results of a recent implementation of an adaptive logic that increases or decreases text difficulty based on students’ performance rather than presenting texts randomly. High school students who received adaptive text selection showed increased sense of learning. Adaptive text selection also resulted in greater pre-training to post-training comprehension test gains, especially for less-skilled readers. The findings demonstrate that system-driven, just-in-time support consistent with the goals of personalized learning benefit the efficacy of computer-based learning environments.     

Component skills of text comprehension in less competent Chinese comprehenders

The present study examined the role of verbal working memory (memory span and tongue-twister), two-character Chinese pseudoword reading (two tasks), rapid automatized naming (RAN) (letters and numbers), and phonological segmentation (deletion of rimes and onsets) in inferential text comprehension in Chinese in 31 less competent comprehenders compared with 37 reading comprehension control students and 23 chronological age controls. It was hypothesized that the target students would perform poorly on these cognitive and linguistic tasks as compared with their controls. Furthermore, verbal working memory and pseudoword reading would explain a considerable amount of individual variation in Chinese text comprehension. RAN would have a nonsignificant role in text comprehension. Structural equation analyses and hierarchical multiple regression analyses generally upheld these hypotheses. Our findings support current literature of the role of verbal working memory in reading comprehension found in English. The results, however, suggest differential role of the constructs and the tasks in reading comprehension and provide some answers for comprehension impairment in Chinese students.     

语言理解及表达力先天发育水平表现因素研究

为了最大限度减少后天因素对语言理解及表达力先天发育水平的影响,以3岁幼儿为研究对象,在分析现有对语言理解及表达力研究的基础上,提出语言理解及表达力表现因素测评指标框架,依据其共性表现因素并结合3岁幼儿语言理解及表达力的个性表现,进行了测评指标实验研究。对西安地区不同水平幼儿园随机抽样的297名儿童进行测评,结果表明这种测评方法具有普适性与可操作性。
