国外第二语言教师教育的社会文化转向

The Socio-Cultural Turn of Second Language Teacher Education Abroad

第二语言教师教育研究和发展的社会文化转向改变了传统的以传授知识为主导的教育模式,将语言教师教育置于广阔的社会、文化和历史背景中并将其视为一项社会实践,教师与教师教育者在社会实践活动中共同合作,教师认知得以发展。本文在分析国外语言教师教育的社会文化转向产生的背景基础上,着重从教师是二语教师教育的学习者、语言是一项社会实践及教学是对话中介这三个视角来评价这一转向的内涵。

The socio-cultural perspective for the research on second language teacher education and development changes the traditional knowledge-based teaching mode. Situated in social,cultural and historical contexts,language teacher education is viewed as a social practice,in which teacher learners and teacher educators collaborate with each other,accordingly resulting in their cognitive development.The current paper analyses the background of socio-cultural turn in language teacher education abroad and provides an interpretation to the shift from the perspectives of teacher as learner in second language teacher education,language as social practice and teaching as dialogic mediation language.
