英语课堂的生态思考

The ecological thought on English classroom teaching

目前,有关英语课堂教学的一些理论,如人本理论等侧重对课堂中某些因素的研究,忽略了考察英语课堂中的一些其他因素,以及所有这些因素之间的相互关系。如果试图更加完整地考察英语课堂,可以从生态学的角度对英语课堂进行研究。英语课堂中的所有概念几乎都可以用生态学的既有概念来考察。这样,英语课堂就可以被看作是一个小的生态系统,其中有特殊的种、种群和群落以及运行着一些特殊的生态规律。

Recently some English classroom teaching theories like humanism theory etc. mainly focus on certain element in English classroom, so they may neglect some elements and the relationships among these elements in it. If English classroom needs to be studied more holistically, it can be studied from the ecological angle. Nearly all the concepts in English classroom can match with the existing concepts in ecology. Then English classroom can be regarded as a small ecological system, consisting of its special individuals, populations, communities, with some special ecological rules performing in it.
