Language education needs for multilingualism in Fiji primary schools

This paper looks at current practice in teaching multilingual Indo-Fijian children in eight Fiji primary schools. Indo-Fijians speak Fiji Hindi (FH) as their mother tongue, learn Shudh Hindi (SH) or Urdu, and English for formal and literacy purposes and use English and Fijian for interethnic communication. The current education policy states that children be taught in their mother tongue for the first 3 years of primary school before English becomes the medium of instruction. This practice was not apparent in the schools. In all 24 observed classrooms, English was the dominant language of instruction. There is an important need in Fiji for teacher training to address the issues around multilingual education so that teachers can confidently contribute to an educational system which maximises the use of Fiji's linguistic resources for the educational advancement of all sectors of the country's population.

贵州高等师范院校汉语言文学专业学生培养模式现状剖析

现行高等师范院校汉语言文学专业学生培养模式,不适应21世纪基础教育课程改革语文教师专业化的要求,具体表现为在学生培养模式上对学生职前语文教师专业化培养目标认识不到位;追求综合性、宽就业,淡化了师范性,大大削弱了学生职前语文教师专业化培养;同时,传统课程设置与结构也不适应学生职前语文教师专业化培养。     

“有效性”视域下华语教学若干问题的思考

华语教学是特殊的二语教学,其最终目的是培养华裔青少年具有在现实生活中自由运用华语进行交际的语言能力。但当前,一些认识因素、教学因素和环境因素严重制约着华语教学的“有效性”,只有实现华语教学目标的综合化、教学过程的交际动态化、教学方法的多元化和教学环境营造的多样化,才是促进华语教学的健康发展、提高华语教学“有效性”的必然选择。     

普通教育机构内低幼儿童语言障碍情况的调查报告

本研究采用分层抽样法，在江苏省南京地区调查了年龄为4～9岁的112O名儿童。结果分析中我们看到，在这些普教机构中，儿童语言障碍的平均发生率是4．02％；学龄前儿童语言障碍发生率略高于学龄儿童；其中男童的比率明显高于女童，前者4．93％，后者2．93％。同时发现，尽管学科教师普遍赞同对语言障碍儿童进行各种特殊治疗，但这些儿童仅有17．8％接受过语言矫治。因此我们呼吁，全社会都来关注语言障碍儿童的研究，并期待一完整的特殊教育体系，满足语言障碍儿童需要。

Interpersonal and relational orientation among pre-service educators: differential effects on attitudes toward inclusion of students with disabilities

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the extent to which pre-service educators’ interpersonal characteristics affected their attitudes toward teaching students with disabilities (inclusion), as measured by the FIRO-B and ATIES pre- and post-course. The FIRO-B was administered to assess expressed and wanted aspects of three interpersonal needs: personal inclusion, affection and control. The ATIES was administered to measure attitudes toward classroom inclusion of students with physical, academic, behavioral and social disabilities. Repeated measures ANOVAs revealed a main effect for wanted inclusion and an interaction effect for expressed inclusion and expressed affection on attitudes toward classroom inclusion. Ultimately, these findings reveal how unique relational characteristics may influence preparation initiatives and may encourage consideration of how individual factors may mediate teacher training and preparation.

培智学校语文教材拼音、生字分析--以上海教育出版社出版的第八册实用语文教材为例

教材作为教学的重要媒介,必然会影响学生的学习效果;教材编写的合理性值得大家思考。拼音、生字是智障儿童语文学习的基础,也是智障儿童教育的一项重要且困难的任务。上海教育出版社出版的第八册实用语文教材在拼音、生字两方面都存在一定的问题,在培智学校语文教材的拼音编写方面建议从识字起步,拼音放后,重在积累,按照智障学生掌握语音的规律编写拼音;在生字编写方面建议按智障学生掌握语音的规律编写生字,坚持“识写分离”的原则编排生字,按智障儿童获得生字的词性、结构规律编排生字。     

言尽意:语言表意的自觉性——论中国古代“言尽意”理论的发展

“言尽意”是古人一直追求的目标。孔子提出“辞达而已矣”的命题,开启了后世对“言尽意”问题的广泛探讨。欧阳建的《言尽意论》从哲学上发挥了孔子的思想,紧紧抓住名与物、言与理的统一表达自己的言意观,非常强烈地冲击了玄学家的“言不尽意”的诡辨。范晔开始从言与意统一的立场出发提出言与意的等级与轻重问题,实现了“言尽意”由纯粹理论问题向实践问题的转变。此后,杜牧强调“辞愈朴而文愈高”;苏轼追求语言的平淡,强调“了然于心”;李东阳从审美创造和接受这两个角度论述“言尽意”的意蕴;恽敬把辞达与作者的心、神、气、知联系起来;以及古人对声律与表意的关系的认识,等等,都是“言尽意”理论的重要收获。
