内蒙古地区师范类蒙授英语专业教学模式的研究——以内蒙古民族大学外国语学院为例

当前，内蒙古地区的民族基础教育也由以往的蒙、汉双语教学逐步扩展为蒙、汉、英三语教学。而能否具备一支整体文化素质和专业水平较高的蒙古族英语教师队伍，则关系到能否顺利地、高质量地、全面地实施三语教学中的英语教学。故此，高等学校责无旁贷地担负起了培养从事民族基础与中等教育的蒙古族英语师资的历史重任。于是，对内蒙古地区高校师范类英语专业“蒙生班”的“零起点”英语教学研究也就显得越来越重要了。本文针对内蒙古地区高校“蒙授班”英语教学的特殊性，提出了自己的教学对策和模式。     

身势语在英语教学中的运用

在英语教学过程中,为交流信息、传递感情,教师在使用语言交际的同时,还会使用多种非语言交际手段,身势语则是非语言交际中表现力最强也是最丰富的一种,并且在交际中有着口语无法替代、只可意会难以言传的魅力。在英语教学活动中,教师能否正确运用身势语,对能否营造学习英语的浓郁文化氛围,能否激活学生的积极学习兴趣,能否潜移默化地影响学生注意力,都起着潜在的重要作用。身势语是英语教学中潜在的隐性力量,关系着英语教学能否有效进行。

Claiming a Space for International Social Work: Voices From the Field

Despite the rise in interest in international social work, surprisingly little empirical evidence exists outlining the knowledge, values, and skills required of social workers to succeed in the global arena. This qualitative study conducted from the spring through winter months of 2013 involved 10 semi-structured interviews with experienced international social workers triangulated with a content analysis of 52 international job postings. Findings suggest that social work professional perspectives including eco-systemic thinking, social justice principles, strength-based analyses, and foundational skills, such as developing empowering person-centered relationships, exhibiting cultural humility, implementing participatory approaches to research and practice, and demonstrating reflexivity, are not always valued by international colleagues nor sought in job advertisements. Furthermore, upon graduation, MSW social workers may lack key areas of expertise expected of international workers such as program monitoring and evaluation, grant writing, policy development, and communicating with media and high-level officials. Ultimately, the invisibility of foundational social work skills and lack of other technical expertise may not only challenge social workers' competitiveness on the global market but also threaten their maintenance of a professional social work identity over time. The authors provide guidance for schools of social work and accrediting bodies to improve social workers' readiness for international work and strengthen their presence in the international arena.
