关于大学英语文化教学及学生交际能力的一项实证研究

随着现代科技的发展以及世界经济全球化、一体化步骤的加快,来自不同文化背景的人们之间的交流与合作日益频繁。为了加强交流和沟通,消除交往过程中可能产生的误解,减少交际障碍甚至冲突,语言教学不仅应当致力于语言本身的理解,还应该注意学生自身文化素养以及实际的跨文化交际的培养。作者采用定性和定量研究两种方法对贵州大学60名二年级两个班级的学生进行了文化教学与交际能力培训实验。定性研究结果显示实验组的水平高于控制组,定量分析结果发现在英语课堂中进行文化教学有助于提高学生的文化意识,反过来,文化意识的提高也有助于其交际能力的提高。     

浅谈高职高专英语视听说课程替代英语基础课程的可能性

随着中国经济的发展,和外国的合作越来越多,这就加大了对英语人才的需求。但是基础英语教学过于注重知识(尤其是语法知识)的传授,轻视语言能力的培养。导致了经过十多年的学习后,中国学生还是听不懂、说不出英语,不能适应我国经济建设和社会发展的需要。因此,英语必须调整课程与教学计划,以培养学生的交际能力为目的。这不仅得到了理论支持,甚至各方面的条件的成熟都将支持这一变革。

Assessing ethics education through national tests—an advantage or not?

The purpose of this study is to describe, critically analyse and discuss the Swedish system of assessing ethics education in compulsory school through national tests. The publicly available tests from 2013 for grades six and nine have been studied as have the assessment instructions for teachers. Staff responsible for the test construction have been interviewed. The aims, core content and knowledge requirements of the curriculum were also studied. The concept ‘ethical competence’ was used as an analytical tool in the qualitative content analyses. Through the design of this study, the actual test, its process of construction and the curriculum were examined. The results suggest that ethics education, given (a) the curricular construction of what ability to assess, (b) complexities of test construction in ethics and (c) possible teach-to-the-test effects, runs the risk of being limited to an argumentative, conceptual competence, with ethics education being emptied of crucial content. However, being included in national testing can strengthen the position of a school subject. Is it then an advantage for ethics education to be tested in this way? The critical problems the study raises make the author conclude it to be a disadvantage for ethics education to be tested through national tests.

Validation of a self-perceived media competence instrument for pre-service teachers / Validación de un instrumento de autopercepción de competencia mediática para docentes en formación

Abstract

Key to guaranteeing the fundamental human rights of freedom of expression and information is the development of media competence, particularly in schools. Training teachers in the area of media competence is particularly important for developing these skills in the broader citizenry. In order to provide educators and educational policymakers with a useful diagnostic tool, we have designed a self-perception questionnaire. The questionnaire was applied to a sample of Peruvian education students (N = 501). On the one hand, the results confirm the construct’s coherence, validity and instrumental reliability. On the other hand, they allow us to propose a theoretically based update to the way in which this construct is interpreted and applied, confirming the multidimensionality of media competence. Finally, we use this empirical evidence to discuss the integral, transversal and ecological status of media competence.
