英语时态的语篇特征及其对教学的启示——以George Orwell的Marrakech为例

通过对Marrakech一文中的时态语篇特征分析,指出时态的形式存在于句子层面,但时态的意义和功能却是语篇性质的;时态体系的选择和布局是作者谋篇布局策略的一部分;时态在语篇中是成体系的,不同的时态会在不同体裁的语篇中体现出不同的功能,具有明显的语篇特征。并对英语时态教学改革提出了针对性建议:时态的教与学应该由初级向高级阶段从以句子为中心向以语篇为中心过渡来逐渐对时态体系及其语篇功能进行分析。     

"数量"的丰收与"质量"的期许--2004年中国儿童文学中的"小说创作"述评

论文按“长篇小说”、“中篇小说”和“短篇小说”的分类,全面考察了2004年中国儿童文学中的小说创作状貌。发现了本年度小说创作的新质,即众多作家、作品激活了少年儿童文学出版市场;大多数作家深入观察写作对象/阅读主体的生活情状,文本的当下感、现场感增强;快乐、幽默、睿智、张扬个性等理念融入创作实践;关注“平凡的大多数”等。指出创作中存在的不足,即关注成长的内在动因不够;恶劣的“无性成长”生态仍未得到“综合治理”;刻意的幽默、过分的调侃、恶俗的搞笑,伤害了文学的神圣性、庄重性和诗意栖居;文本中急需涤荡“孩子气”与“娃娃腔”;作家理论素养的贫血,仅靠才气写作,凭经验、惯性写作等。力求对本年度的小说创作予以全面、客观、公允、准确的评说,为阅读、创作提供一些有益的辅助。

Writing Revision: Evidence for Learning

ABSTRACT

This paper identifies evidence that significant procedural learning can emerge from process approaches to teaching writing, including from the transition of pupils’ writing from draft to revision. It shows how writing schemes that use an underlying process framework to structure learning, give pupils ownership of their own writing and exploit the resources of classes as learning communities can enable pupils to learn how to write more effectively, and in some cases to discover what they want to say through the process of composition. The paper draws on this and other work to set out a number of implications for teaching and classroom practice.     

开展课外活动培养语文素养

要提高学生的语文素养，仅靠课堂时间是远远不够的，更重要的还要和课外活动有机地结合起来。根据笔者多年的教学实践，认为开展语文课外活动主要有以下途径：课外阅读、课外写作、课外听说活动、课外实践活动．

应用文语言的文化透视

一切文化都包含在语言之中并借助语言来表达,语言全面地储存着文化的整体信息。应用文与社会生活息息相关,其语言有着深广的文化内涵。应用文语言的实用性特征及规范化的要求,促进了社会有序而和谐的发展并折射出时代文化精神。应用文语言词汇发展的与时俱进和具有时代特色的新词语的广泛使用,从文化层面显示出科学技术的进步。     

Adapting Levels 1 and 2 of Kirkpatrick’s model of training evaluation to examine the effectiveness of a tertiary-level writing course

This study adapts Levels 1 and 2 of Kirkpatrick’s model of training evaluation to evaluate learning outcomes of an English as a second language (ESL) paragraph writing course offered by a major Asian university. The study uses a combination of surveys and writing tests administered at the beginning and end of the course. The survey evaluated changes in students’ perception of their skills, attitude, and knowledge (SAK), and the writing tests measured their writing ability. Rasch measurement was applied to examine the psychometric validity of the instruments. The measured abilities were successively subjected to path modeling to evaluate Levels 1 and 2 of the model. The students reported that the module was enjoyable and useful. In addition, their self-perceived level of skills and knowledge developed across time alongside their writing scores but their attitude remained unchanged. Limitations of Kirkpatrick’s model as well as lack of solid frameworks for evaluating educational effectiveness in applied linguistics are discussed.
