Three educational values for a multicultural society: Difference recognition,national cohesion and equality

Educational aims for societies comprising multiple ethnic, cultural and racial groups should involve three different values—recognizing difference, national cohesion and equality. Recognition of difference acknowledges and respects ethnocultural identities and in educational contexts also encourages mutual engagement across difference. National cohesion involves teaching a sense of civic attachment to a nation and to one’s fellow citizens of different groups and identities. ‘Multiculturalism’ has traditionally been understood to support the first value but not as much the second, a charge made by ‘interculturalism,’ a newer idea in Europe and francophone Canada. But Tariq Modood, this year’s Kohlberg Memorial Lecturer, has argued that national integration has always been a goal of multiculturalism. However, neither multiculturalism nor interculturalism has placed sufficient emphasis on equality as a social and educational ideal. Equality is a complex idea that involves both equal treatment by teachers of students from different groups, and also relative equal student outcomes among different groups.     

语篇衔接视角下的语码转换研究

语码转换是语言使用者在语言交际过程中不断更换语码的现象.以Halliday的系统功能语法和Ver-schueren的顺应理论为基础进行分析,发现二语习得者的语码转换具有篇章衔接功能,通过语境、指称和逻辑连接等方式实现语篇的衔接与连贯.     

词汇衔接模式与体裁的交际功能

依据Halliday和Hasan提出的衔接理论,用复现的词汇衔接方法,并结合Swales提出的体裁语轮分析法,以国际权威期刊System中的一篇应用语言学学术论文的摘要为例,分析词汇衔接模式能否体现摘要这一体裁的交际功能。研究表明,词汇的选择受制于体裁,对词汇衔接模式的分析能够更好地帮助人们了解体裁的交际目的。     

Two-Year Impacts of a Comprehensive Family Financial Rewards Program on Children's Academic Outcomes: Moderation by Likelihood of Earning Rewards

Abstract

This article examines the extent to which impacts of a conditional cash transfer (CCT) program on children's academic outcomes vary by key characteristics associated with families’ propensity to earn the rewards offered by the program. We utilize an experimental study of Opportunity NYC-Family Rewards, a comprehensive CCT program in New York City in which low-income families were offered rewards for outcomes in health, education, and work. Building from a technique in propensity score research but used here to assess subgroup impacts in experimental studies, we use multiple baseline characteristics to predict the amount of rewards earned as a means to identify theoretically important, multivariate-defined groups of children for whom program effects might be more concentrated. Fourth-grade children in families with higher likelihood to earn rewards experienced more positive impacts of the program on academic outcomes. By contrast, no program impacts were found among 7th- or 9th-graders whose families were most likely to earn rewards. Differences across age groups are discussed in terms of their different developmental periods and the differing way the children experienced the intervention.     

The place of diversity within history and the challenge of policy and curriculum

This article is a position paper which examines the political and public discourse around the areas of diversity and social cohesion, and history teaching. It examines the nature of these discourses and shows how they are in tension. Although discourse around diversity often has a focus on mutual understanding and finding areas of commonality, the discourse around history often focuses on the need to provide a sense of identity through a national story. By focusing on a discussion about the purposes of history, rather than merely on debates about content, it is suggested that these discourses can be brought more closely into line and produce a more productive line of policy debate.

浅析进行体的衔接功能

本文以进行体和一般体语义的不同为依据 ,区分在意识流作品中哪些是从人物的视角描写的和哪些是从作者的视角描写的。文章指出在特定的语境中 ,以进行体形式所呈现的事件是从故事中一个人物的视角传达的 ,而且同其前文叙述现在时再现的人物言语和思想所采用的视角是一致的 ,进而从语言结构的角度探讨进行体、叙事视角和连贯的关系并说明进行体的衔接功能。
