多媒体手段与传统方法整合的多维外语教学模式及策略——理论与实践

Multi-media Technology and Traditional Methods Combined Multi-dimensional Foreign Language Teaching Mode and Its Strategies: Theory and Practice

近几年来,随着教育技术的不断完善,基于认知科学的计算机辅助外语教学的理论研究与实践也取得了重大进展.笔者在分析国内外专家学者们在这一领域里的研究情况的同时,与课题小组成员在我校01级4个院系5个班级中进行了历时两年多的"网络环境下多媒体手段与传统方法整合的多维外语教学模式及策略创新研究与实践",在此基础上提出:多媒体手段与传统方法整合的多维外语教学模式是未来外语教学的有效模式.这种模式是通过学生的自主学习(主要利用多媒体网络培养听说能力)与教师的课堂教学(利用传统手段培养读、写、译的能力)的有机结合而实现的.在这样的教学环境下,教师的教学策略与传统比较,其最大的不同在于:强调外语教学的改革与创新应以培养学生的自主学习能力为突破口;外语教学的理念是,教学不仅是传授语言知识,更重要的是要促进学生语言能力的获得与可持续性发展.

In the recent years, with the constant improvement of instructional technology and the development of cognitive science, great progress has been made in the theoretical research and practice on computer assisted instruction for foreign language teaching. By analyzing the studies made in this field by those experts and scholars at home and abroad, the author and her colleagues made an over-two-year experiment in their university. Based on this work, they proposed that： a multi-media technology and traditional methods combined multi-dimensional foreign language teaching mode is an effective foreign language teaching mode in the future. Such mode can be achieved by a perfect combination of students＇ self-access learning, and the teachers＇ teaching in the classrooms. Under such circumstances, the teachers＇ strategies should be different from the traditional ones. Teachers should know that if they want to reform and bring forth new ideas to their teaching, cultivating students＇ competence of self-access learning may act as a breach. Also teaching means much more than passing on knowledge. To promote the students＇ ability of language acquisition and its sustainable development is more important.
