Cross-Cultural Awareness and Teaching English as a Second Language in the Context of Globalization

The paper focuses on the inseparability of language and culture, highlighting the significant role of cross-culturalawareness and communicative competence in teaching English as a second language （TESL） in the context ofincreasingly internationalized global world.

Metacognitive Strategy Training in Reading Comprehension

Despite that language learning strategy(LLS) has been heatedly discussed since its emergence in 1975, its conceptualization, categorization and strategy training models are still in dispute. However, what commonly revealed by most studies is that there is a positive correlation between the use of language learning strategy and language learners' performance. This paper applies Dornyei's classification, known as cognitive strategies, metacognitive strategies, social strategies and affective strategies. By reviewing previous studies on the application of metacognitive strategy in English as a second language(ESL) reading comprehension, plenty of useful implications for reading pedagogy are suggested. It further explains how certain important metacognitive strategies, namely Semantic Mapping(SM) and Experience-Text-Relationship(ETR), can be implemented in second language reading comprehension, aiming to encourage language learners to be aware of learning strategies,"learn how to learn"(Cohen, 1988, p66)!

成为其他的存在——贾克·乐寇与刘真雨工作中心的演员训练方法研究

贾克·乐寇,法国人,作为20世纪影响最深远的戏剧教育家与表演家,以独特的“动作分析”“即兴表演”“自由创作”构成了三大“乐寇方法”的核心。他最后一届亲授弟子唯一的亚洲人韩国的刘真雨,同样有着相辅相成的教学理念与原则,并来中国昆明进行传授和特别训练。其训练主题:“我”非“我”,而是成为其他的存在,最大程度启发演员创造角色的灵感;热衷于对表演本质的追寻:以“中立身体”创造“空的空间”,用幻想填满它、用不带有任何不良习惯的中性身体去创造它;训练方法构成:(一)与“沉默”相遇,所有学员跟随他去寻找沉默的状态;(二)“成为”大自然,围绕“水、火、风、土”四大元素进行训练,让“我”成为“其他”存在的一个重要训练板块;(三)成为“创造者”而不是“受害者”,演员完全专注于情景之中,不断将自己变成内容,在细节中创造不同戏剧情境中的人,远离成为表演情绪的“受害者”。

基于时序信息的轻量级视频车辆目标检测方法

为实现在低功耗嵌入式设备上部署视频车辆目标检测模型,提出一种基于时序信息的轻量级视频车辆目标检测方法。该方法以SSD网络为基础,使用MobileNetV3-Small替换原主干特征提取网络VGG-16,并在SSD网络中直接注入注意力机制卷积GRU用于融合时序信息,提升车辆检测精度;关键帧检测网络控制的跳跃连接使模型只在关键帧更新GRU状态,非关键帧直接复制上一关键帧GRU状态,提升模型检测速度。为进一步减少计算量,网络中大量使用深度可分离卷积替换标准卷积层,同时使用量化感知训练方法压缩模型。在UA-DETRAC数据集上的实验表明,该方法在Intel Core i7 CPU和树莓派4B上平均每帧检测时间分别为18 ms和134 ms,准确率达到了较高水平,为78.81%。
