英语测试方法新探

我国传统的英语测试方法由于题型趋于单一化、格式化，存在许多不足，应当进行适当的改革。“1 1”诊断法是美国奥克兰大学阅读系Cramer教授所采用的新的英语测试方法，目的在于测出学生的词汇、阅读以及听力的真实水平，探索它们的内在联系，并提出有针对性的辅助学生学习英语的方法。该方法对我国高校英语的测试有重要的启示作用。     

语篇分析与大学英语阅读教学

语篇是句子按一定的关系构成的有机整体,与语境密不可分并在语境中执行一定的功能;语篇分析不能拘泥于微观结构,而必须着眼于宏观结构及语境因素,采用“语境—宏观结构—微观结构—宏观结构—语境”的模式。这一语篇分析框架在大学英语阅读教学中具有重要的应用价值。     

Latent Profiles of Reading and Language and Their Association With Standardized Reading Outcomes in Kindergarten Through Tenth Grade

The objective of this study was to determine the latent profiles of reading and language skills that characterized 7,752 students in kindergarten through tenth grade and to relate the profiles to norm-referenced reading outcomes. Reading and language skills were assessed with a computer-adaptive assessment administered in the middle of the year and reading outcome measures were administered at the end of the year. Three measures of reading comprehension were administered in third through tenth grades to create a latent variable. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was conducted on the reading and language measures and related to reading outcomes in multiple regression analyses. Within-grade multiple regressions were subjected to a linear step-up correction to guard against false-discovery rate. LPA results revealed five to six profiles in the elementary grades and three in the secondary grades that were strongly related to standardized reading outcomes, with average absolute between-profile effect sizes ranging from 1.10 to 2.53. The profiles in the secondary grades followed a high, medium, and low pattern. Profiles in the elementary grades revealed more heterogeneity, suggestive of strategies for differentiating instruction.     

CD-ROM talking books: what do they promise?

This study describes one teacher's use of multimedia, specifically CD-ROM talking books, in the classroom. The goal of the investigation was to reveal and analyse how a primary (Grade 3) teacher integrated CD-ROM books into her curriculum. Issues emerging from the study included how features of the software interact with features of classrooms, how patterns of instruction are affected by the infusion of technology, and how students interact with the software, and each other, while reading the CD- ROM books     

Differential recognition of children's cultural practices in middle primary literacy classrooms

This paper argues that teachers' recognition of children's cultural practices is an important positive step in helping socio‐economically disadvantaged children engage with school literacies. Based on 21 longitudinal case studies of children's literacy development over a 3‐year period, the authors demonstrate that when children's knowledges and practices assembled in home and community spheres are treated as valuable material for school learning, children are more likely to invest in the work of acquiring school literacies. However, they also show that while some children benefit greatly from being allowed to draw on their knowledge of popular culture, sports and the outdoors, other children's interests may be ignored or excluded. Some differences in teachers' valuing of home and community cultures appeared to relate to gender dimensions.

如何培养大学生英语阅读能力

现有许多大学生虽有相当的词汇量和语法功底，却仍对阅读感到力不从心，原因是缺乏阅读训练，要提高学生的阅读理解能力，除了让学生掌握必要的语言知识外，还要培养其非语言的其他智力或非智力的因素。
