认知语言学视角下的思辨英语教学

Language and critical thinking integrated teaching from the perspective of cognitive linguistics

加强思辨英语教学已成为当前外语教学改革的重要方向,但目前关于这一课题缺乏语言学角度的研究。本文以认知语言学理论为指导,提出了思辨能力和语言能力融合的新思路,并结合学术英语教学实践从识解理论中的详略度、突显度、视角、想象四个维度探讨了如何将认知语言学理论以及英汉认知对比研究成果应用到思辨英语教学中。

It has become a trend that language and critical thinking integrated teaching is increasingly adopted in the pedagogical reform of foreign language teaching.However,little research has been conducted on this topic from the perspective of linguistics.Under the framework of cognitive linguistics,this paper proposes a new approach to the integration of English competence and critical thinking ability.Drawing on the researcher's academic English teaching practice,this paper explores ways to apply theories in cognitive linguistics and the findings of cognitive contrasitive studies on English and Chinese to language and critical thinking integrated teaching from the four dimensions of construal,namely,specificity,prominence,perspective,and imagination.
