Low-Income Mothers' Conversations About Emotions and Their Children's Emotional Competence

This study examined the linkage between low-income mothers' conversations about emotions and their children's understanding of emotion. Forty-five low-income preschoolers and their mothers were videotaped while viewing a wordless picture book designed to elicit talk about emotions. Three maternal and child emotional language behaviors were coded from the videotapes: (a) unelaborated comments about emotions; (b) explanations about the causes and consequences of emotions; and (c) empathy-related statements. The children's questions about emotions were also coded. In a separate interview, the preschoolers were administered tasks that assessed emotional expression knowledge, emotional situation knowledge, and emotional role-taking. The results revealed that emotional situation knowledge was positively predicted by mothers' empathy-related statements. Mothers' explanations about the causes and consequences of emotions were uniquely related to emotional role-taking ability. There were very few correlations between the mothers' and children's talk about emotions. Results are discussed in terms of the functional significance of mothers' emotional language for young children's emotional competence.

在商务英语教学中培养学生的交际策略能力的研究

采用实验研究法在商务英语教学中培养学生的交际策略能力，通过一个学期的策略训练，得出了以下的结果：（1）实验组学生使用的策略、尤其是所培训的策略（转述策略、近似表达策略、迂回策略和填补策略）明显高过非实验组，证明了实验组在交际策略训练后学生愿意接受或使用更多的交际策略；（2）在商务英语课程教学的课堂中对学生进行交际策略的培训不影响学生的笔试成绩，相反，通过策略培训，实验组学生学习积极性有了很大的提高，学习成绩有了显著的进步和提高；（3）交际策略训练有助于提高学生的交际能力。     

Social Competence with Peers in Third Grade: Associations with Earlier Peer Experiences in Childcare1

The early developmental antecedents of individual differences in children's social functioning with peers in third grade were examined using longitudinal data from the large‐scale National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) study of early child care. In a sample of 1,364 children, with family and child factors controlled, the frequency of positive and negative peer interactions in childcare between 24 and 54 months and the number of hours spent in childcare peer groups of different sizes (alone, dyad, small, medium, large) predicted third graders' peer competence at three levels of analysis: individual social skills, dyadic friendships, and peer‐group acceptance. Children who had more positive experiences with peers in childcare had better social and communicative skills with peers in third grade, were more sociable and co‐operative and less aggressive, had more close friends, and were more accepted and popular. Children with more frequent negative experiences with peers in childcare were more aggressive in third grade, had lower social and communicative skills, and reported having fewer friends. When children spent more time in small‐sized peer groups in childcare (four or fewer children at 24 months of age up to seven or fewer at 54 months), they were more sociable and co‐operative in third grade, but their teachers rated them as more aggressive, suggesting that such children may be more socially outgoing and active both positively and negatively. Like those who spent more time in small peer groups, children who spent more hours in medium‐sized groups received higher ratings for peer aggression by their third‐grade teachers. Children who spent more time with one other child in childcare or in small peer groups had fewer classroom friends in third grade as reported by the teacher but not according to maternal report or self‐report. There were no significant associations between the amount of time children spent in large childcare‐based peer groups and third‐grade peer social competence.     

教育观念与英语交际能力的培养——以非英语专业博士研究生为例

传统的教育观念、语法翻译教学法和汉语教学模式对英语交际能力发展存在消极影响。交际法教学比语法翻译法更有利于英语交际能力的发展,本文以非英语专业博士研究生为研究对象,通过革新教学理念、课程体系、学习策略和教学手段等,对博士研究生英语教学进行改革,可以有效地提高博士研究生的英语交际能力。
