法语代词soi的教学新探

"soi"是法语重读人称代词中的一个特殊存在。它既属于泛指代词,但是又能指代到群体中的个体。对于学过英语的法语初学者来说,这个单词既在英语里找不到完全相同的单词,又和英语的个别代词的个例对应,使得学生在学习这个词语的具体使用情况时感到陌生和难以掌握。针对在教学中学生对其理解的障碍,探讨如何根据认知语言学的理论指引,在课堂上既避免学生英法混淆,又能清楚记住"soi"的特点。     

Supporting English second-language learners in disadvantaged contexts: learning approaches that promote success in mathematics

In the Australian context, children living in disadvantaged circumstances, whose second language is English, are one of the groups at risk of failing in mathematics. This paper explores the impact purposely developed learning activities (Representations, Oral Language and Engagement in Mathematics Learning activities) have on pupils' mathematics outcomes in the first three years of formal schooling (Foundation, Year 1 and Year 2). The participating group (n = 461) comprised 328 English language learners and 133 mainstream pupils. To ascertain the impact of the learning experience, pre- and post-tests were conducted at the commencement and completion of each school year. The results indicate that all of the children significantly improved, with English as a second language pupils showing the greatest gains, and achieving norm-referenced expectations for their age.     

The effect of peer group performance on the self-concept of reading in a foreign language

According to the big-fish-little-pond (BFLP) model, the self-concept is not only influenced in a positive way by one’s own achievement, but also in a negative way by one’s relative achievement in comparison with one’s immediate peers. This study investigates whether the BFLP effect also holds for second language acquisition. A random sample of 9167 Dutch-speaking students from Grade 8 took a reading comprehension test in French followed by a short background questionnaire in which they were asked for their self-concept of reading French. Multilevel regressions of the latter on individual and group achievement confirmed the BFLP effect but did not confirm an interaction of the effect with gender, individual achievement or class size. Moreover, in line with the local dominance hypothesis, it was shown that the negative effect of the average performance of peers is stronger for classmates than for schoolmates.     

第二语言口语非流利产出研究述评

言语非流利是指在速率、韵律、词语序列上有标记的部分,包括各种非流利停顿、重复、填充语和自我修正。在二语习得中,大多数非流利现象都反映了言语计划压力,是二语水平欠佳的表现。近期研究发现,非流利现象并不都是由于言语困难所致,它还有可能是一种互动策略,以达到引人注意或引起听众的回应为目的。语法学家运用现有句法理论,甚至增加新的句法规则将非流利纳入语法可以解释的范围。语音学家认为话语的声学特征和音韵信息在非流利的检测和处理中起着重要作用。社会语言学家发现男性和女性、不同年龄的学习者在非流利出现的类别和频率上存在差异。语用学视角将非流利现象看成一种语用策略,涉及说话人和听话人双方的互动。对二语学习者来说,非流利的语用视角对其二语语用能力的发展有着积极意义。

基于建构主义学习理论的二外日语互动教学模式研究

目前,我国高校二外日语课堂教学多以教师为中心,采用“传授—强化—记忆”为过程的“填鸭式”教学模式,老师与学生以及学生与学生之间的互动性不强,课堂效果不够理想,究其根源在于忽视了学习者的主体作用和创造潜能。建构主义学习理论强调以学生为中心的互动教学,对改进目前高校二外日语课堂教学现状具有借鉴意义。应从学习与教学、学生与教师两方面,通过情境创设与合作学习,在师生互动、生生互动以及学生和教学内容的互动中完成意义建构,发挥学生在学习过程中的能动作用,有效提高学生的日语运用能力和课堂教学质量。

The influence of three approaches to feedback on L2 writing task improvement and subsequent learning

This research examined the effects of using rubrics, exemplars, and self-assessment as forms of feedback in an L2 writing development course in English with Chinese speakers. The sample consisted of 114 L2 students at a university in Macau. Participants were randomly assigned to treatment groups and provided feedback on an English writing task using either rubrics, exemplars, self-assessment, or a control condition. The efficacy of these treatments was examined for both performance (on the writing task at hand) and learning (as demonstrated by performance on a new, similar writing task). Results indicate that rubrics and exemplars were effective as compared to the control condition, but the self-assessment approach was not.     

叠压给水设备二级串联加压供水问题对策

针对某依山而建的住宅楼盘,二期工程建设时方案进行了较大的调整,使得与一期工程同时交付使用的叠压给水设备的扬程和流量都不能满足住宅小区用水需求的问题,采用了在二期工程内增设一套叠压给水设备,通过两套设备二级串联接力加压供水的方法来满足二期住户的用水需求,为了实现两套设备协调运行和弥补第一套设备供水量的不足,对第二套设备系统配置进行了优化设计。运行效果良好。
