L. V. Shcherba: a ‘new slant’ on modern foreign languages in the school curriculum?

In this paper, I offer a critical reflection on the thesis of the general educational value of foreign languages developed by Russian linguist Lev Vladimirovich Shcherba. I do so against the background of current debates on the positioning of foreign languages in the school curriculum in the United Kingdom (UK). I argue that Shcherba's thesis, which was developed almost a century ago, retains its currency and can make an important contribution to the on-going discussion on the value of foreign languages in UK schools. The paper outlines Shcherba's scholarly explorations in general linguistics which underpin his arguments in favour of the inclusion of foreign languages in the basic school curriculum. The conception of language as a system immanently positioned in social experience assigns the foundational role to language in the literacy project. The conscious analytic processing of language phenomena is viewed as an essential pre-condition of literacy, and foreign languages are shown to be instrumental in developing such an analytic capacity of mind. Shcherba's argumentation reflects a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach, both to foreign language education and to curriculum matters, and merits the attention of language practitioners, educationalists and policy-makers alike.

无言的交流--《巴别塔》评介

电影《巴别塔》是其导演亚利桑德罗的一大力作。影片中所有的人物,不论是在摩洛哥等待救援的受伤的美国游客、与父亲一同生活在东京的聋哑日本少女,还是北美荒原中惊慌失措的墨西哥保姆都是生活在纷争年代的人们的真实写照。传说中的巴别塔象征着人类的团结,而人类心目中的上帝所在的天堂是人类理解与沟通的最终目的。但是在语言已经不再是交流的障碍、人与人之间的联系也越来越密切的全球化的今天,即便是拥有相同文化、相同信念的人们之间的沟通却越来越困难。     

刘重德：“全球地方化”理念实践的典范

全球地方化是指全球化与地方化的融合。刘重德作为全球地方化理念的成功实践者,以其人生经历诠释了全球化和地方化在中国翻译研究和翻译实践领域不再分离的观点。从全球地方化视角探究不同文化的互相渗透,将帮助我们进一步认清刘重德的生平业绩、道德品质、翻译理论与翻译实践。他的成就可以概述为：（1）重英译汉,亦重汉译英;（2）兼收并蓄,形成自己独特的理论体系;（3）建立中国英汉语比较研究会,为跨文化研究提供载体;（4）重视全球地方化语境下的翻译人才尤其是中译外翻译人才的培养——所有这一切均将有助于中国文化在全球地方化时代永远保持自己独特的文化身份。     

试论高校民族语文教学的重要性和必要性

民族语言文字是民族文化的载体,是一种文化现象。多语种、多文种是中华民族多元文化的重要组成部分。在高校设立民族语文专业,是由我国的国情决定的,也是《宪法》赋予少数民族公民及其语言文字的基本权利。因此,根据不同民族的语言文化采取不同的措施,大力加强高校民族语文教学,对于继承和发展民族文化,构建和谐社会,促进民族地区的社会稳定及民族地区的经济发展有着重要的现实意义。

The exploration of student-centred approaches for the improvement of learning programming in higher education

The author has undergone a major shift in the way of teaching his undergraduate computer programming courses. In the classroom, the teacher＇s computer is connected to a splitter and a video projector that display the computer＇s screen to the entire class. Using this technology, the programming language itself is used live in class to help the students learn how to program. The students are learning in a context by far livelier than those of previous methods. Teaching computer programming is not achieved by lecturing and writing the program instructions on board or by displaying program instructions to the class on transparencies or slides of electronic presentations. With the implementation of student-centered approaches, the students migrated from the state of passive receivers to constructors of computer programming concepts. Students are coached to develop a sense of exploration, individuality and autonomous thinking. The enthusiasm for technology has been facilitating and supporting the learner-centered approach. Everyone in this approach is a learner, including the teacher.     

Cultural and linguistic influence on brain organization for language and possible consequences for dyslexia: A review

Current neuroimaging and neurophysiologic techniques have substantially increased our possibilities to study processes related to various language functions in the intact human brain. Learning to read and write influences the functional organization of the brain. What is universal and what is specific in the languages of the world are important issues. Most studies on healthy bilinguals indicate that essentially the same neural mechanisms are used for first and second languages, albeit with some linguistic and cultural influences related to speech and writing systems, particularly between alphabetical and nonalphabetical languages. Proficiency, age of acquisition, and amount of exposure can affect the cerebral representations of the languages. Accumulating data support the important role of working memory for acquiring high proficiency in the reading of native and second languages. It is proposed that longitudinal studies on second language acquisition are essential and that the specific problems related to second language learning in dyslexic children should have high priority.
