However, as the English linguistics curriculum itself belongs to theoretical teaching, the teaching process requires the two-way interaction between teachers and students, so the teaching effect is not good. College English linguistics takes the cultivation of students' comprehensive abilities to use English as the premise, and emphasizes the cultivation of students' listening and speaking abilities to help students transmit the accurate written and oral information in the process of the social work and communication, thus improving students' English levels and preparing for their future international communication.展开更多

Teachingeffectiveness as a general teaching concept should be manifested based on a practical method. This study begins with the analysesof the effectiveness of English listening and speaking class and the task-based teaching method. It focuses on probing the positivecorrelation between teaching effectiveness and task-based teaching model in College English listening and speaking class. Throughanalyzing and comparing the important indicators of teaching effectiveness and task-based teaching model, the favorablecorrelation between the two can be verified. In conclusion, a few important factors of designing and conducting tasks in Englishlistening and speaking class are highlighted in order to substantially guarantee and enhance teaching effectiveness.展开更多

These ubiquitous rules of design are what scholars in the field of call as the principles of design. Particularly when instructional effectiveness of a new message is under close lens, instructional designers unanimously accept and implement these design principles in the process of planning and designing products for consumers and/or learners With today's digital revolution and technological break-throughs, instructional designers need to keep seeking new forms of design, communication, and learning with various forms of instructional media and innovative, technology-rich design techniques. Given this educational milieu in an ever-growing digital world of learning and instruction, this paper will focus on eliciting some of these most innovative and outstanding instructional design (ID) products and evaluate their effectiveness in learning and teaching environments based on an army of ID principles generally accepted by the scholars of the field.展开更多

文摘Multiliteracies are an indispensable component of language abilities in the modern age of information technology.First proposed by the New London Group in 1996, multiliteracies refer to the abilities needed to obtain the learning resources that are transmitted through different media and modals, and to apply different modes and means to communicate with others to create meanings.The cultivation of multiliteracies is not only a systematic process of constructing knowledge but also a dynamic cycle of designing learning activities.In undertaking an international multiliteracies project, the New London Group adopted a mode of learning by design to cultivate multiliteracies.Learning by design includes three progressive components of available design, designing, and redesigned, with available design referring to the learning resources available, designing being the work to be done to make use of the learning resources obtained, and redesigned meaning the regenerated and transformed learning resources that are to become the new learning resources for available design.When it comes to the stage of redesigned, the mode of learning by design enters a new cycle.Ever since learning by design was adopted, it became the main theoretical framework used to cultivate multiliteracies.The college English teaching subsequently developed at Soochow University followed and specified the general principles of learning by design while constructing its own specific mode, trying to integrate available design and designing into a dynamic whole geared toward cultivating multiliteracies(one of the three abilities needed to use English, together with language expression abilities and intercultural communication competences).With regard to available design, efforts were made toward building and expanding various learning resources, facilities, settings, environments, and other learning support systems at Soochow University.This was done to provide easy and selectable accesses to the Net^+ based multimedia forms of different learning resources and specific course contents.In designing, different task-based and project-driven classroom and extracurricular/term explorative learning activities, particularly those revolving around the two courses of Film English and Media English Reading, were created for students to actively undertake cooperative and interactive learning, facilitating their language application.The teaching of available design and designing was interdependently progressed and students' language acquisition and application were systematically integrated to promote the effective cultivation of multiliteracies.
