英语教师教育“圈输入”初探

On the Loop-input in English Teacher Education

目前英语教师教育中存在的主要问题仍是理论与实际相脱节，其根本原因在于输入的教学理论内容与实时的教学过程不一致。Tessa Woodward提出的“圈输入”方法打破了英语教师教育课程教学内容和教学过程分立的惯例，使学生在课堂活动中实时体验教学内容成为可能。输入的课堂教学知识内容由课堂教学过程体现，课堂教学过程就是课堂教学内容的演示，内容等于过程。“圈输入”从根本上解决了理论与实际脱节的问题，因此，有必要探究“圈输入”的主要特征、类型及其应用等方面，使国内英语教师教育步上新的台阶。

The essential problem unsolved at present in English teacher education still concerns the inconsistency between theory and practice,which results from the asynchronism between the input of language teaching theories and the process of methodology instruction. The loop-input discovered and developed by Tessa Woodward disaccustoms the traditional separation between teaching content and teaching process. Loop-input makes it possible that students can put the theories learned immediately into practice because the input is demonstrated by the teaching process. What students are learning is equal to what they are doing. Since loop-input can solve the problem of the disconnection between theory and practice,it is necessary in this paper to discuss its main aspects such as the features, types and applications so as to improve English teacher education.
