A Study on the Chinese Students’ Acquisition of Collocational Knowledge

In China the acquisition of collocations is considered as one of the most difficult points for the Chinese students in their foreign language learning. So far there are few empirical studies involving the Chinese students‘acquisition of collocational knowledge. The author of the present thesis attempts to examine the acquisition of collocational knowledge in the Chinese students from the productive aspect by investigating the acquisition of collocations in the students at three proficiency levels : elementary, intermediate and advanced. The present study aims at finding out whether there are any proficiency-related differences in the acquisition of collocations, and which collocation types are acquired in the early stage of foreign language learning and which are acquired in the later stage. Altogether 110 students have participated in this study. The results have shown that there are indeed proficiency - related differences in the acquisition of collocations and that there are specific types of collocation that are acquired in the early stages of language learning, and some types are acquired in the later stages of language learning.     

Of Teaching English Writing

<正> When I decided to give the English writing course, mycolleagues offered me quite a few suggestions: some suggestedthat I should instruct students to Practise practical writings;some advised me to begin with composition appreciation; somestood for lectures on rhetoric; and some wanted me to pick anumber of topics every time and let the students choose theone in which they were most interested to write on. All ofthese suggestions should be considered as the main contents     

LET''''S MAKE ENGLISH MORE EXCITING

"Teacher, what are we going to do next class?" This is an exciting question which I often hear from my students. As an English conversation teacher, I can make the learning of English either a dull and boring duty, or an exciting adventure. It is very important that I make my students hate missing my class, and keep them guessing just what will happen the next time! Let us consider some important ways that any teacher can help his other students want to do their     

A STUDY OF STUDENTS＇ANXIETYON THE LISTENING PERFORMANCE IN CET BAND IV

This paper mainly focuses on investigating to what extent and how listening comprehension was affected by students‘anxiety, which was considered to be one of the factors to which EFL/ESL teachers must pay attention. The author of the thesis used a questionnaire on trait anxiety and one on state anxiety to look into students‘anxiety levels exhibited in the listening part of the College English Band IV Test. 52 subjects from the Inner Mongolia (Polytechn:c) University of Technology were involved in the investigation. Data collected from the investigation were statistically analyzed using SPSS 10. 0. The research findings indicate that anxiety is a factor to affect the students’ listening performances, that means the reduction of trait anxiety levels may facilitate listening performances of the students. Visualization is a promising technique for treatment.

We had guests last night who have not stayed in a B＆B hotel ago. They did not want breakfast because that they were going out early in the morning. They came back lately and had some tea. I came into the riving room and saw one of them just go through the kitchen door but turn on the light. He was looking for a glass the cupboard. He had no ideas that the kitchen was not for guests.

Research and Development of Textbooks for Students＇ Autonomous Learning

Textbooks, as the most important learning sources, are supposed to lead students to acquire knowledge by themselves. This paper, by analyzing the characteristics of the previous textbooks, puts forward that the editor might as well transfer teaching materials into learning materials while compiling textbooks. The specific measures include： first, to render content in the light of the learning process; second, to reserve the margin for students to do learning easily via textbooks ; third, to innovate the style and layout through the form of links and highlight inquiry - based learning and autonomous learning; fourth, to follow the learning methods and improve students＇ learning ability.     

How to exert the student-center approach in middle school English teaching

In order to train a student to be a person with ability,who can self-study,use knowledge flexibly and bring firth new ideas constantly,the constant development of society demands a full exertion of student-center approach in the process of education.Therefore,how to exert the student-center approach is a question that every teacher is facing.I think that we can exert the student-center approach from the following aspects.One,a teacher must change his teaching conception.He should know that it's the students who are the main body of teaching and the teacher can act as a guider.The other,by all means,we ought to make the students know the purpose of their study and the function of themselves in learning.We also ought to culture their interest in learning,inspire and strengthen their main body consciousness.the teacher should,on the basis of full understanding his students and textbook,exert the leading function of himself.In the course of teaching,the teacher can exert the advantage of advanced teaching method,such as situational language teaching,and advanced teaching instrument,such as multimedia,which will inspire the students' interest and conscious activities.We can train the students' imagining ability through encouragement 、guiding and extracurricular activities.We can improve the students' ability of self-study.Thus,the students' main body function will reach a better exertion and the effect of teaching will be improved.This will train the students to suit the need of society.

Conditions and Misunderstanding of CIS Introduced to Enterprises

Cooprate Identity System (CIS), genrally speaking, is design or moulding for enterprises'image. As a whole, CIS is a kind of enterprise' culture's construction, a kind of distinguishedstrategy used by enterprises in order to exist and develop. After introducing and analyzing CIS' orig-ination and development, this paper analyze and summarize the key reasons for which CIS can be-come fashion in China: Firstly, CIS can be more suitable to and promote the development of modernsocial productivity. Secondly, the intredction of CIS can mnake enterprises gain abundant return.Thirdly, CIS is growing up every day in itself. Then, it analyses that some conditions must be creat-ed when enterprises introduce CIS in China. They are: (1) knowledge preparation; (2) conceptpreparation; (3)The preparation of managerial level; (4)The preparation of clerks' quality; (5)Expense preparation; (6)Social preparation. Finally, it sums up five misunderstanding regions of introducing CIS in China.

An Exact Solution to the Combined KS and EdV Equation

The exact solution for the combined KS and KdV equation is obtained via introducing a simple and effective nonlinear transformations.This method is very concise and primary and can be applied to other unintegrable nonlinear evolution equations. It is common knowledge that the Korteweg de Vries(KdV) equation [1] (1) has been proposed as model equation for the weakly nonlinear long waves which occur in many different physical systems; the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky (KS) equation is one of the simplest nonliaear partial differential equations that exhibit Chaotic behavior frequently encounted in the study of continous media [2-4] . Many interesting mathematical and physical properties of eqs. (1) and (2) have been studied widely. But, in several problems where a lonq wavelength oscilatory instability is found, the noulineai evolution of the perturbations near rriticality is governed by the dispersion modified Kuramoto-Sivashi nsky equation(3)ft is clear that this equation is a combination of the KdV and KS
