How do primary school English textbooks teach moral values? A critical discourse analysis

In recent decades, there has been a growing interest in the integration of moral values into language textbooks. This study aims to examine the inclusion of moral values in primary school language textbooks used in a multicultural country, specifically Indonesia. We conducted a critical discourse analysis adopting Martin and White’s (2005) language appraisal theory, Kress and van Leuween’s (2006) visual grammar theory, and Smetana’s (2006) social domain theory (social constructivism) to elucidate the verbal and visual representations of moral values in Indonesian primary school English language (EL) textbooks. The findings show that helping others, being friendly and polite, and tolerance are the most dominant moral values discursively depicted in three primary school EL textbooks in the present study. This suggests that those three values are socioculturally ingrained in Indonesian culture.     

读后写作提高高中生英语语篇理解能力的实践研究

对于英语这门语言类学科来说,阅读是知识的输入,写作则是知识的输出,读与写可谓是相互促进的,读后写作更是一个惯用的教学模式。在高中英语教学中,教师需主动引用读后写作这一教学模式,提高高中生的英语语篇理解能力,改善他们的读写水平。笔者以读后写作提高高中生英语语篇理解能力的实践为研究对象,并提出一系列个人建议。

论哲学话语的历史流变

研究哲学话语的变化，是考察哲学历史发展的另一个思路。从古代到现代，哲学话语的演变大致经历了四个时代：人类的早期哲学话语是“儿童话语”，以“儿童话语”为主流的时代是哲学的“童话”时代；随后出现的是“神秘话语”，以“神秘放语”为主流的时代是哲学的“神话”时代；欧洲文艺复兴时期的哲学话语是“人文话语”，这一时代可以称为哲学的“人文”时代；从近代哲学开始，“权力话语”泛滥，哲学力图裁判和主宰人们的精神生活，这一时期哲学的“官话”时代。哲学话语的流变，既是人类生活发展变化的反映，也是哲学语言规则变化的见证。今天人们说的“哲学危机”，不是整个哲学的危机，而是“官话哲学”的危机。未来的哲学话语当以“生活话语”或“实践话语”为主流，是“实话”哲学的时代。     

语篇分析与阅读教学

传统的阅读教学把句子看作是最高一层的语言单位，通过英语释义，分析其中的语法点和词汇的用法来进行教学，学生的注意力只集中于语法和词汇，处于被动阅读地位。本文论述通过语篇分析这一教学法对整个篇章进行外部层次和内部层次分析，利用宏观整体理解带动微观细节理解，能达到见树知林的理解效果。同时还提出了语篇分析法实施中应注意的问题及应对策略。

Investigating Classroom Discourse Surrounding Partner Reading

This study examined the functions that student talk served during partner reading events in a second grade classroom. Five major themes of talk emerged from the data including organizational, disputational, word strategy, meaning making and personal talk. All of these types of talk functioned to support partner reading except for personal talk, which occurred infrequently. The classroom teacher also provided support for these same discourses through her mini-lessons and read alouds.     

Comparative analyses of discourse in specialized STEM school classes

ABSTRACT

The authors detail the discourse patterns observed within mathematics and science classes at specialized STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) high schools. Analyses reveal that teachers in mathematics classes tended to engage their students in authoritative discourse while teachers in science classes tended to engage students in dialogic discourse. The authors examined variations in the type of discourse in relationship to the discipline being taught, the educational level of the teacher, and course requirements were also explored.
