模因论视域下大学英语教学改革的创新探索

模因论是以生物界进化机制为理论根基的文化进化理论,模因是模因论的核心概念,通过模因的不断复制和传播,推动模因组合,进而实现文化的传承和发展。语言学习过程与模因论的复制和传播机制高度相关,通过模因的高质量输入,能够有效改善大学英语教学语言输入和语言产出“失衡”的局面,增加教育效果。大学英语学习综合表现为同化、记忆、表达、传输四个阶段,根据语言模因复制和传播的机制,可以在大学英语教学课前、课中和课后三个阶段嵌入模因机制,以优化课程教学,实现语言输入和语言产出的平衡。

Innovation of Teaching Reform of College English from a Memetics Perspective

Memetics,a cultural evolution theory based on biological evolutionary mechanism,deems that cultural inheritance and development arises out of the continuous duplication and spread of memes,a core concept of the theory of memetics,and the combination of those memes.Due to the relatedness of language learning process and the duplication and spread mechanism of memetics,it is believed that high quality input of memes is able to regulate the imbalance between language input and output in college English teaching and thus improve teaching result.In accordance with the 4 stages of assimilation,memory,expression and communication in college English learning,the memetic mechanism can be embedded into the 3 periods of pre-class,in-class and after-class to optimize the teaching and achieve a balance between language input and output.
