翻译活动对二语词汇附带习得作用的实证研究

运用"投入量假设"的理论,对翻译活动和二语词汇附带习得之间的相关性进行实证研究,考查翻译活动对二语词汇习得的作用与价值。82名高校非英语专业学习者参与了这项实验。在阅读完一篇含有目标词的文章后,他们中的一半做阅读理解和完形填空练习,另一半做英汉互译练习。对受试者进行的即时词汇测试和延时测试的结果表明,翻译练习能够促成二语词汇的附带习得。而且,相对于阅读后做理解题及填空题,翻译练习能够获得更佳的词汇习得效果,尤其在词汇的产出性知识方面。     

体育运动对心理健康的干预与影响机制研究

运用文献综述法介绍了国内外体育运动与心理健康关系的研究脉络,指出体育运动对于改善心理健康的影响机制在智能发展、情绪控制、提高自我知觉、消除疲劳、增强社会适应能力等方面的交互作用,并探讨了体育运动改善心理健康的生理学、心理学和社会学理论机制.     

晶体硅太阳电池接触电阻测量

金属电极与硅的接触电阻是太阳电池中串联电阻的一部分,是影响太阳电池填充因子和短路电流进而影响光电转换效率的重要因素之一,通过了解接触电阻的大小,可以判断太阳电池电极的优劣。接触电阻的测量,较为困难,难以精确,笔者给出了一种基于PN Vinod三点测试方法的改进方法及测试实例。     

任务型学习在英语泛读的应用

根据Ellis的“输入与互动假设”理论,倡导在英语泛读教学过程中开展“对话性互动”和“变化性互动”,应用“任务型学习”,并结合课堂实践,设计了教学实例,这一实践实现了“以学生为主体,教师为主导”的新教学模式,具有多元性、人文性、合作性和反馈性的特点。     

Does religion matter? Italians’ responses towards Muslim and Christian Arab immigrants as a function of their acculturation preferences

A 2 × 2 × 2 experiment examined the role of immigrants’ religion and perceived acculturation strategy on majority members’ attitudes. Acculturation strategies were manipulated along the two dimensions of contact and culture maintenance. Italian majority members (N = 247) read fictitious but seemingly real interviews with Arab immigrants, in which the immigrants’ religion (Muslim vs. Christian) and acculturation preferences (desire for contact and for culture maintenance) were manipulated. MANOVA showed a main effect of contact: majority members associated immigrants who were perceived to favour contact with more positive attitudes, empathy, trust, positive stereotypes and metastereotypes, and lower levels of threat. MANOVA also showed a main effect of culture maintenance: when immigrants were perceived to abandon their culture, majority members reported lower levels of symbolic threat and greater empathy towards them. A significant Religion x Culture maintenance interaction effect emerged on majority members’ stereotypes and contact intentions: Muslim immigrants who were perceived to abandon their heritage culture elicited more favourable responses than Muslim immigrants who were perceived to maintain their heritage culture. Taken together, these findings suggest that desire for intergroup contact amongst immigrants, independently of their religion, can promote harmonious intergroup relations with the majority group.     

人性假设与教育意谓

人性假设是依一定的价值取向对人性的现实表现有选择的抽象,是人的实践活动的基本理论前提。教育“为人”,不管是其理论建构还是实践活动,必然建立在某种人性假设的基础上。以先验的“伦理人”和“理性人”为取向的预成论人性假设容易导致片面的教育;教育“成人”,关注人性发展的可能性与丰富性,必须从生成论人性假设出发,引导人的人性自觉和精神自由,促进人性的生成与丰富。     

关于英译汉过程中心理认知干扰因素的实证研究

在英译汉心理认知过程中,译者通常会受到一些因素的干扰而导致认知失误,但这却是推测,没有得到试验的检验。笔者尝试用两个具体的英译汉例子,提出三个有关心理认知干扰因素的假设,并设计四组英译汉测试题及与之相对应的问卷调查,用于三个实验组和一个对照组测试。通过对实验数据的收集、检验和分析,找出导致翻译认知失误的真正原因,即较偏僻词组和较长句式结构干扰了译者的翻译心理认知过程。     

Intergroup Contact,Media Exposure,and Racial Attitudes

The present investigation uses intergroup contact and media systems’ dependency theories to illuminate the relative significance of various sources of information in shaping Caucasian-American attitudes toward African-Americans. It uses empirical data from an exploratory survey of college students to build a chain of related variables that link primary sources of information (face-to-face versus mediated) to stereotypical beliefs, perceived internal causal attributions for African-Americans’ failures, and prejudicial feelings toward African-Americans. Results suggest that face-to-face sources of racial/ethnic out-group information are more effective than mediated sources in prejudice reduction. The discussion includes theoretical and practical implications of the findings.     

从二语习得的角度浅析可理解性输入对非英语专业大学生英语写作的影响

本文以二语习得与可理解性输入理论为基础,尝试着了解并分析当前大学英语写作教学输入模式及其存在的不足之处,从而在教学过程中试图通过增强可理解性输入来促进学生对输入材料的理解与吸收,最后使其有效地运用于写作之中。     

学科中心课程:内涵、理论假设及组织方式

学科中心课程以有组织的学科内容为材料依据,按照学科结构来确定所要学习的内容,注重学科知识体系的完整性。它的形成建立在这样一个假设上:人们通过学习各门学科知识,就能形成关于世界的整体知识。从古至今长期的演变过程中,它存在三种最基本的组织形式,即科目设计、学术性学科设计、综合性学科设计。在新课程背景下,既要消除对学科中心课程的一些误解,又要正视其局限性,对学科中心课程进行改造和完善,不断提升其品质。
