PPT课件设计与语言学知识建构:多元读写教学法视角

Power Point Design and Construction of Linguistic Knowledge:From Perspective of Multiliteracy Pedagogy

在课堂教学高度多媒体化以及PPT普遍使用的今天,分析PPT的意义建构及探索如何有效设计PPT,促进课堂教学,是多模态研究者和教育学者面临的重要任务。因此,本研究系统考察了高校英语专业普通语言学课程获奖PPT的设计及其体现的教学原则。本文首次将语类理论引入PPT课件分析,对591张课件进行了量化分析。研究发现:(1)语言学课程PPT课件已具有大体一致的多模态语类结构;(2)课件主要体现了以教师为中心的知识传授,而对学生的分析和应用能力重视不足。鉴于此,本文提出了以多元读写教学法为指导原则的PPT设计,以期为高校教师更好地设计PPT课件,提高语言学以及学术英语教学提供有效的理论与方法指导。
