人之悟感发展与教育的生本化改革

悟感是一种前意识现象,其主要功能在于提供产生感悟的基础和激活思想。悟感在人的精神生活中起着普遍的基础性作用,具有可求同性、能动性、对于符号世界的蕴涵性以及使认识回归本体的还原性。儿童的悟感与生俱来,又在他们的自主活动中发展,因而儿童是最重要的教育资源。教育要取得成效,就要高度尊重和全面依靠学生,即实施生本教育。

主位推进模式与大学英语阅读教学

大学英语阅读教学把重点放在分析字、词、句及一些语法项目上是长期存在的一种普遍现象,这种教学方法忽略了培养学生的综合阅读能力和把握整体篇章结构的能力,严重阻碍学生取得理想的阅读效果.本文以篇章理论为基础,从句子的交际功能角度出发,试图探讨篇章理论中主速位结构及主位推进模式对大学英语阅读教学的促进作用,以期能帮助学生提高阅...     

从结构建立框架理论的角度探析英语篇章理解

结构建立框架理论(Gernsbacher,1990)认为,篇章理解的过程是心理认知和加工的过程。理解的过程就是对篇章内容进行心理结构构建的过程。这一过程包括三个步骤：理解者为心理结构的建立或表征奠定基础;绘制心理结构;心理结构转变。心理结构构建的过程表明：加强学习者的篇章记忆能力是提高英语篇章理解能力的关键所在。     

The effect of peer group performance on the self-concept of reading in a foreign language

According to the big-fish-little-pond (BFLP) model, the self-concept is not only influenced in a positive way by one’s own achievement, but also in a negative way by one’s relative achievement in comparison with one’s immediate peers. This study investigates whether the BFLP effect also holds for second language acquisition. A random sample of 9167 Dutch-speaking students from Grade 8 took a reading comprehension test in French followed by a short background questionnaire in which they were asked for their self-concept of reading French. Multilevel regressions of the latter on individual and group achievement confirmed the BFLP effect but did not confirm an interaction of the effect with gender, individual achievement or class size. Moreover, in line with the local dominance hypothesis, it was shown that the negative effect of the average performance of peers is stronger for classmates than for schoolmates.     

多模态语篇分析的实例分析

多模态语篇分析是把所有交际模态都看成是意义生成资源来进行研究的一种语篇分析视角。在这种宏大背景下,语篇分析和理解过程中必然包含“作品人”与“读者”间的双向互动作用,即主体间性,对于外语教学有着深刻的指导意义。     

A quasi-experimental study of a peer-assisted strategy-based reading intervention in elementary school

Promising methods of reading instruction for elementary school students incorporate peer-assisted learning routines and reading strategies. In addition, models of reading comprehension point to the importance of various determinants of reading competence such as reading fluency and vocabulary knowledge. Multicomponent reading intervention programs need to be evaluated to determine IF and HOW they unfold their effects on the reading competence of elementary school students on the basis of such theoretical and empirical models. Accordingly, the present study was designed as a quasi-experimental study of a 20-lesson peer-assisted and strategy-based multicomponent intervention for whole-class instruction in elementary school. Linear mixed models and latent growth models were used to analyze the longitudinal data (pre-, post- and follow-up test) on the reading competencies (reading fluency, vocabulary knowledge, reading strategy competence, reading comprehension) and intrinsic reading motivation of students in the intervention (N = 187) and control group (N = 177). The results showed an interaction between the groups and the change in reading comprehension, indicating a significantly increased score in the intervention group at the posttest (d = 0.15) but not at the follow-up test (d = 0.12). The results of the latent growth model point to the importance of designing interventions that explicitly integrate reading strategies, reading fluency and vocabulary knowledge and also foster intrinsic reading motivation. In addition, reading fluency was revealed to be the strongest predictor of reading comprehension and the change in fluency over time was closely linked to reading comprehension development.     

Efficacy of digital picture book enhancements grounded in multimedia learning principles: Dependent on age?

We designed an experiment with stratified randomization to investigate the effects of visual and auditory enhancements in digital picture books on comprehension and incidental word learning. Participants were 183 children aged 3, 4, and 5 years (81 girls and 102 boys) from childcare centers and schools in the Southwest USA. We contrasted the still-image condition (an onscreen picture book with a voice-over reading the narrative aloud) with three enhanced conditions: a digital book that included auditory and visual enhancements, only auditory enhancement, or only visual enhancement. All participants watched and listened thrice to the researcher-assigned digital picture book version within three weeks. The posttests assessed children's story comprehension and book-based vocabulary. The visual and auditory enhancements benefited children's story comprehension and book-based vocabulary. However, a version with auditory and visual enhancements was less beneficial for comprehension than versions with single (auditory or visual) enhancements, particularly in the youngest group.
