外语教学中教师角色的转变与反思——以赫尔巴特和杜威的师生观为视角

A Reflection on the Transformation of Teachers' Role in Foreign Language Teaching——From the Perspective of Herbart and Dewey's Views

在外语教学中,教师角色的转变与教育思想及教学方法的演变是密不可分的。在赫尔巴特"教师中心论"的传统教育和杜威"儿童中心论"的现代教育思想影响下,外语教师角色的转变也是从"以教师为中心"到"以学生为中心"的过程。通过对赫尔巴特和杜威的师生观教育思想的探讨,分析外语教师在课堂教学中角色的转变,以期在教育现代化理念背景下,使教师在适应现代化教学方法同时,更好地调整自身在课堂中的角色,培养国际化、多元化的外向型人才。

The aim has been to provide a better adjustment of teachers＇ role, application of certain teaching methodology and cultivation of international talents in EFL leaming context.
