大数据时代外语教师的教育理念和教学能力探析

Exploration of English Teachers' Educational Concept and Teaching Ability in Big Data Age

大数据将从认识世界的新方式、淘汰过去的捷径和想象力将比知识更重要等三个方面改变教育。我国外语教育已取得了长足发展和进步,但也明显存在学生学习兴趣不足、教师教学理念不够先进及整合教育技术与外语教学意识和能力薄弱等问题。面临大数据技术和大数据时代,我们的外语教育首先要进行四个教育理念的更新,即利用大数据去标准化、统一化模式,形成多样化和个性化的外语教育观念;利用大数据去权威化、固态化套路,建立人文化和动态化的外语教育机制;利用大数据告别简单经验式、思辨式、自上而下的教学,实施实证式、科学式、自下而上的课堂教学;利用大数据抛弃传统平均化教育,实施差异化的教育,真正因材施教。然后是实现三个教学能力的提高,即充分利用慕课和翻转课堂,实行线上和线下相融合的外语教育方式;整合传统课堂的外语教学法,打造大数据时代的外语教学策略;加强学习、注重积累、学会分类,为学生提供更多的学习资源、学习建议和评价方式。

Big Data will change our traditional education by updating the way of knowing the world,weeding out the past short-cuts,and laying more emphasis on imagination.Tremendous progress has been made in the education of foreign languages in China,but some problems still exist like learners＇ lack of interest,teachers＇ lack of advanced teaching concept,and teachers＇ inability to integrate IT with foreign language teaching.In Big Data age,we should update our teaching concept from the following four aspects：developing a diversified and personalized foreign languages teaching concept by making use of Big Data;establishing a humanistic and dynamic teaching mechanism through authorized and patterned method;implementing empirical and scientific class teaaching by abandoning the old teaching way;practicing aptitude-based teaching by correcting the previous averaged teaching.Furthermore,we need to improve the three skills of foreign language teaching：making full use of flipping class to integrate traditional teaching with online teaching;concluding traditional foreign languages teaching methods to form a teaching strategy suitable for Big Data age;attaching importance to learning,accumulation and classification to provide more advice,resources,and evaluation methods for students.
