追寻意义:基于玛克辛·格林教育哲学的外语教育反思

Pursuing Meaning:A Reflection on Foreign Language Education in China Based on Maxine Greene's Educational Philosophy

基于玛克辛·格林的存在主义教育哲学反思可见,我国外语教育在根本上应强调人文性、社会性,其根本目的在于通过语言习得理解世界,追寻意义;格林的"陌生人"理论启示外语教师需要以新的眼光反思既定的教学模式,并努力建立良好、开放的主体间性师生关系;而自由亲和的教学方法,融入了个体生活经验,有助于学生新奇感的建构。

Based on the Maxine Greene＇s philosophy of existential education,foreign language education should fundamentally emphasize the aspects of humanity and sociality.Its fundamental purpose is to understand the world through language acquisition and to search for meaning.Her theory on ＂teacheras stranger＂suggests that foreign language teachers should establish teaching mode with new eyes and strive to construct a good,open and inter-subjective relationship between teachers and students.Herfreeand friendly teaching methods integrate the experience of individual life and help students build the sense of novelty in their learning process.
