教师课堂上的"言"与"行"——对一堂大学英语精读课的多模态话语分析

文章研究采用个案分析的方法对一位大学英语教师的课堂进行了多模态话语分析,着重分析了教师非语言行为的支架功能以及语言与非语言行为在提供支架帮助方面的互补性。结果表明,教师的手势、面部表情、站立姿态、在教室内的走动主要起到情感支架的作用,教师能很好地运用语言和非语言的不同支架作用来实现教学和社会双重功能。     

应用型人才培养背景下英语听力的“支架式”教学策略

应用型人才是应用型本科院校的人才培养目标和生存基础。英语听力教学是英语专业教学的重点和难点,也是衡量应用型外语人才的重要指标之一。文章探讨在应用型人才培养模式背景下以"支架式"教学策略为理论依据,将"支架式"教学策略的脚手架搭建、创设问题情境、独立探索、协作学习及效果评价的五个环节应用于英语听力教学,以实现听力教学质量的提高,改变听力教学的现状,从而真正提高学生英语听力技能。     

支架式教学法在英语专业泛读课中的应用

支架式教学法是建构主义理论指导下的一种颇为成熟的教学模式,该教学法所倡导的“概念框架”、“问题情境”等教育理念充分发挥了教师的指导作用,挖掘了学生潜能,培养了学生独立思考、勇于创新的精神.文章探讨了支架式教学法在英语专业泛读课教学中的应用.     

Michael White as Teacher,Mentor Friend: Considering Claims of Guru‐ism

A reflection written on the 20th anniversary of the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Family Therapy and around the first anniversary of the death of its first editor and respected Narrative therapist, author and theorist Michael White. This article reviews the influence of Michael White on the work and life of the author. In this reflection, it reviews some of the significant features of Michael White's teaching, which allows a consideration of claims of ‘guru‐ism’ occasionally related to Michael White's work.     

Prediction of Positive Peer Relations from Observed Parent–Child Interactions

The nature of 7-year-old children's (n = 140) positive peer relations was examined using a multi-method, multi-agent approach. A confirmatory factor analysis suggested three factors clustered by reporting agent and method: teachers' perceptions of the child's positive attributes, observation of the child-peer interaction in three play settings, and observation of the child-peer interaction in a teaching context. Similar pathways were found for boys and girls. Once it was established that stable constructs could be developed to measure positive peer relations, earlier parent-child characteristics were examined to assess their utility in predicting children's positive friendships. Parental scaffolding and warmth were measured at 18 months and 5 years of age. Structural equation modeling suggests that positive parent interactions were positively related to later peer relations, but this relationship was significant only for boys. Possible explanations for this sex difference are discussed.     

大学英语网络课程支架式听力教学实证研究

从传统语言实验室教学模式和基于网络课程的支架式听力教学模式的对比实验研究,发现最近发展区和支架理论对后者有着重要的指导作用,证实这种新模式在转变教学观念、促进课堂会话与激发学习兴趣等方面能够起到很好的支架作用,从而能够促进英语听力水平的提高。     

建架理论下的渐减指导

梅里尔教授在阐述其著名的“首要教学原理”时提出了“渐减指导”的教学策略,而建架理论则基于瑞士心理学家皮亚杰的构建主义理论和俄国心理学家维果斯基的“最近发展区”理论。这两种理论在实际教学中经常被单独使用,也取得了一定的教学效果。创造性地将建架理论与渐减指导结合起来,分析了二者融合后对教学带来的意义和影响。同时对现行的教育理念提出了看法,试图为培养学生自主学习能力提供新的教学策略,也对未来的人才培养方向进行了思考。     

Mothers’ communicative cues and the development of infants’ helping: Linking participation and problem solving in the first year of life

There is an ongoing debate on the role of socialization in the development of infants’ helping. Although opportunities for the socialization of early helping are rare in problem solving (bystander intervention), there are many opportunities for socialization in participation (working alongside others), and infants’ experiences of participation could socialize problem solving indirectly. The present study links participation and problem solving conceptually by drawing on a Hebbian concept of indirect learning and through a study examining mothers’ communicative cues in both forms of helping. Forty mother-infant dyads engaged in two semi-structured helping tasks, a participation task and a problem-solving task at five, eight, and ten months of age. Mothers’ communicative cues and infants’ return of the object were examined using coding schemes adapted from prior research. Mothers used similar communicative cues (reaches, give-me gestures, and verbal requests) in both tasks, and more maternal scaffolding contributed to greater object handover. Infants showed higher object handover in participation tasks. The findings, framed in Tomasello's neo-Vygotskian account of prosocial development, offer a synthesis of the debate on the role of socialization where prosocial behavior emerges first between people, and then becomes individualized.     

支架式教学法在英语专业翻译技能教学中的应用初探

为了迎接21世纪信息时代和知识经济对外语专业人才培养的挑战,我国的英语专业教学应主动寻求教育改革的新思路和新方法。建构主义支架式教学法是近年来较有影响的教学理论之一,探索将其引入英语专业教学的原则和具体方法,加强对学生“听说读写译”特别是翻译技能的培养,有着重要而深远的意义。     

Decolonizing Sociology Through Collaboration,Co-Learning and Action: A Case for Participatory Action Research1

Despite important efforts by postcolonial scholars to “decolonize” sociology, this endeavor remains limited by the scaffolding of empirical research, or the institutionalized practices and beliefs embedded within data collection and researchers' relationship to research subjects. In its current form, this scaffolding excludes “subaltern” voices from critiquing and extending sociological theory, deriving benefits from the study, or informing social actions that stem from the research. This limits the field's understanding of the multi-faceted impacts of colonialism and retrenches inequalities between scholars and participants. Participatory Action Research (PAR) offers an alternative, decolonial infrastructure. PAR acknowledges the value of knowledge from the periphery and calls for (1) the participation of marginalized research populations in each step of the research process; (2) co-learning between researchers and participants; and (3) collaborative social action that centers the needs of marginalized research populations. Drawing on a case study of PAR in Rio de Janeiro, I demonstrate how PAR allows sociologists, in partnership with historically colonized groups, to decolonize sociology not only in theory, but in the concrete practices of empirical research.
