维果茨基社会文化视角下外语教师语言知识的建构

本文从维果茨基的社会文化理论的视角探讨外语教师的语言知识的建构,认为外语教师的语言知识,不论是关于语言的知识、运用语言的知识,还是教学的语言知识都应被视为是从社会环境的经验中产生的。外语教师的教学的语言知识至少应该涉及关于语言的知识,对外语学习过程的理解,以及批判的语言意识等几个方面。这几个方面的知识都与教师原有的生活经历和知识基础相关。外语教师的学习和教学经验决定了其教学的语言知识基础,这就意味着教师的自传应置于外语教师发展中的重要的地位。

透析孔子时代“君子”涵义之转向

"君子"一词在春秋以前的典籍中多指人的地位、身份或称谓。至孔子时代,尤其是《论语》中对"君子"大发其义,较之以前有很大的转向。这时的"君子"多指向人的道德伦理方面,是集道德修养、文化学习、能力地位于一身的理想人格的体现。这一转向背后有着深刻的历史背景,主要表现在:井田制、宗法制的逐渐瓦解;官学的衰落和私学的兴起促进了士阶层的发展壮大;人本主义的觉醒与人的道德精神的彰显。     

A Discussion on the Criteria for Evaluating Speaking Skills

The identification of effective and appropriate speaking skills seems to be a paradox task for the reason that there exist no consistent criteria for evaluating speaking skills in language teaching and testing.It is claimed in the current article that the teaching and assessment of speaking skills would probably be better based on a comprehensive framework of criteria including four aspects,namely,grammatical competence,strategic competence,sociocultural competence and discourse competence.

The absolute necessity for a working model to support pre-service teachers of a non-English speaking background

With universities seeking to increase their enrolment of international students, and the increasingly diverse domestic market, it is not surprising that researchers’ interest has turned to the impact of a diverse university population. The focus of this paper is a model that has been implemented to enable higher levels of achievement on the professional experience or practicum component of a teacher preparation programme at The University of Queensland, Australia. The participants were students from backgrounds that were non-English speaking. The programme has been provided since the academic year beginning January 2004 and has sparked interest in transferring the model to other areas of the university. While the study was conducted in Australia, the issues it raises, and the model developed, appear to be applicable to any programme on offer in any university with culturally and linguistically diverse students.

The Need to Distinguish Between Quantity and Quality in Research on Parental Involvement: The Example of Parental Help With Homework

ABSTRACT

Parental involvement research has greatly expanded over the past decade, but findings are mixed, reflecting in part the conceptual and methodological limitations of many studies. On the basis of longitudinal questionnaire data from 1,685 sixth-grade students, the authors studied parental help with homework because it is the most common and most controversial type of parental involvement. Distinguishing between the quantity and quality of parental homework involvement, the research shows that completely different conclusions about the effectiveness of parental homework involvement will be reached if its quantity is assessed instead of its quality: How often parents helped with homework was negatively associated with the development of achievement, whereas homework help that was perceived as supportive had positive predictive effects, and homework help perceived as intrusive had negative effects. Moreover, the results show that effect sizes would be overestimated if students' prior achievement and family background were not controlled.
