初学者英语语音意识培养之浅谈

语音意识与阅读理解,单词拼写及记忆等方面有着极为密切的联系。利用语音意识进行语言学习已成为普遍认同的理论。该文在简单回顾了国内外语音意识发展的历史后,详细阐述了语音意识测试的步骤及方法,指出只有在对英语学习者语音意识进行有效的评估后,才能对症下药,培养他们的语音意识;同时指出语音意识的发展是一个渐进式发展的过程,英语教育教学工作者只有根据其规律,灵活施教,才能起到事倍功半的效果。     

The Effectiveness of the Responsive Teaching Parent-mediated Developmental Intervention Programme in Turkey: A pilot study

The case study was conducted to examine the feasibility of an early intervention curriculum called Responsive Teaching with two five-year-old children from Turkey who had significant developmental delays. This study determined whether Turkish mothers might be successful in learning to become more responsive to their children, and whether this would result in significant improvements in their children’s development. Both dyads received 28 individual parent–child intervention sessions which were conducted over a four-month period of time. Pre-, mid-, and post-assessments indicated improvements in the mothers’ responsiveness to their children and the children’s levels of engagement with their parents. There were also improvements in the children’s language and personal social development. Mothers reported that Responsive Teaching helped them learn to interact more effectively with their children and that this resulted in longer and more enjoyable interactions with them. Results from this investigation are discussed in terms of their implications for providing developmental services to preschool-aged children with disabilities in Turkey.     

青少年前瞻适应现状研究

采用自编的《青少年前瞻适应问卷》,调查了13-19岁青少年的前瞻适应情况。结果表明：1.总体上,青少年前瞻适应水平呈正态分布。2.青少年前瞻适应与学习成绩有显著相关。3.青少年前瞻适应存在显著的年龄差异。在13-19岁青少年中,随着年龄的增长,前瞻适应总分以及两个维度的分数,均呈＂U＂型曲线。4.初中生无论是在前瞻适应总分还是在学习前瞻维度和发展前瞻维度上,均显著高于高中生。     

A Study of Infant Developmental Outcome with a Sample of Korean Working Mothers of Infants in Poverty: Implications for Early Intervention Program

Using a sample of 42 Korean mothers whose infants are cared for by someone at non-maternal child care facilities, this study first examined both main effects and interaction effects between maternal knowledge of infant development and maternal self-efficacy on parenting behavior. Second, the combined effects of variables of interest in this study including maternal knowledge of infant development, maternal self-efficacy, and parenting behavior on the child developmental outcome were investigated. Significant relationships between maternal knowledge of infant development and parenting behavior and child development outcome were detected. Only main effects of maternal knowledge of infant development were detected. Furthermore, maternal knowledge of infant development was the only significant predictor of infant developmental outcome. Research implications were discussed both on the continuum of findings from previous studies with Western samples and in terms of provision of effective early intervention programs for this targeted population.     

论王朔的"新京味儿"语言及文化内涵

王朔小说是20世纪80年代重要的文学现象，其“新京味儿”语言也同样是20世纪小说中重要的语言形象。和以往的“京味儿”语言相比，这种语言形象不提供道德参考系数，将口语、调侃作为解构价值规范的策略，以获得游戏生活的快感为唯一的目的。这种语言形象产生于中国特定的历史语境和文化转型的缝隙之中。     

The problem-solving process as part of professionals’ boundary work in preschool to school transition

ABSTRACT

A successful transition from preschool to school demands continuity in education between the institutions: continuity in pedagogy, values and institutional structures. One way to achieve continuity is to learn how to do boundary work in the borderline of two activity systems. This article examines what kinds of discourses frame the problem-solving process in the context of inter-professional collaboration. The data consists of video-recorded, inter-professional discussions in the 2012–2013 (a total of 22.5?h). The project, called Flexible Preschool and School, aims to develop a new model for a smooth transition to school. In the project, professionals from preschool and school create joint activities and co-teaching, which is assumed to bridge the gap between pedagogies and assure the continuity of learning. The professionals’ cultural thoughts in different kinds of problem-solving situations become visible in the discourses produced in the talk. These discourses describe their capacity for solving shared problems. Creating new innovations demands an understanding that complex problems require diverse knowledge. Considering the shared knowledge as valuable enough to put into practice is the way to create new forms of problem-solving. This is implemented by taking on the responsibility to be an active actor.     

Identifying key issues for university practitioners of garden-based learning in Spain

ABSTRACT

The presence of learning gardens in Spain is growing, and the current scenario is highly diverse in relation to issues such as participatory models or purposes, among others. In the context of the 1^st National Meeting on organic learning gardens, we convened eight expert practitioners in a focus group. Their discourse was analyzed through content analysis, after which four categories were selected for co-occurrence analyses. The most important questions for university garden-based practitioners in the country are presented, related to actors involved, functions that gardens fulfill, strengths of these educational resources, and requirements for their consolidation.     

低纯度Gd制成的Gd5Si1.8Ge2.2的磁热效应

实验中使用国产2N级金属Gd粉为原料，用电弧熔炼法在氩气气氛中制备了Gd5Si1.8Ge22合金，并通过X射线衍射仪和超导量子磁强计分析手段对合金的性能进行测试和分析．发现合金没有重现一级磁相变和巨磁热效应，这是由于国产2N级Gd中杂质等因素时磁相变、磁热性能产生了重要影响，导致一级磁相变的破坏及磁热效应的大幅度下降．

Person-centred reviews and transition: an exploration of the views of students and their parents/carers

The person-centred review (PCR) is a model for the review of a student’s special educational needs (SEN) which places the young person and their family at the centre of the process. This mixed-methods, exploratory study investigated the views of 16 students with SEN aged between 10–11 years (Year 6) and 13–14 years (Year 9), and their parents/carers on their PCRs (which were mostly held at transition). Attention was paid to potential changes in the young people’s locus of control and feelings towards school. Findings indicated that the PCR is a collaborative, constructive and reassuring process for families where a wealth of information is shared openly and honestly within a relaxed, yet structured, meeting. The young people were generally positive about the process, although many felt daunted beforehand. Some parents felt the meeting was too long and not entirely accessible to children. The study did not conclude that the young people’s locus of control or feelings towards their education changed following the PCR. Implications for good practice are discussed, particularly for educational psychologists and in the context of the SEN and Disability Code of Practice.
