商务英语教师在商务知识课堂呈现的实证研究——基于ELAN的分析

An Empirical Study of Business Content Knowledge Presentation in Business English Classroom Teaching:Analysis Based on ELAN

商务英语教师应具备语言知识、教学法知识和一定的商务知识。课堂是商务英语教师学科教学知识呈现的重要节点。本文以此为出发点,以ELAN为分析工具,采用定性的分析方法对2015年第六届'外教社杯'全国高校外语教学大赛中的两位使用同一教学材料的商务英语教师参赛视频中的商务知识进行编码分析,分析这些教师课堂中呈现出来的商务知识状况,并分析这些商务知识是否满足课堂教学的需求。研究表明:大部分参赛教师具备一定的商务常识和商务意识,但是由于对商务知识的理解和学习缺乏系统性,导致他们在讲解时分析不够,举例较少,甚至存在错配现象。

Business English teacher should have language knowledge,pedagogical knowledge and necessary business content knowledge.Classroom teaching is the most important place for the presentation of Pedagogical Content Knowledge(PCK).The current study adopts ELAN as a research tool for qualitative analysis of the presentation of business content knowledge from video clips of two teachers in the 6 th Shanghai Foreign Language Press National Foreign Language Teaching Contest in 2015 who used the same teaching materials through coding and annotation.The research shows both teachers have certain levels of business common sense and business awareness.But owing to the lack of systematic learning and understanding of business content knowledge,their explanation is not adequate,deep analysis is rare and examples are few.There is even mismatch between topic in question and relevant knowledge in the process of teaching.
