How does Role Play Enhance the Speaking Skills of Chinese EFL Learners?

This paper will focus on how role play activity improves Chinese learners English speaking skills.It starts by shortly in⁃troducing the challenges of oral English teaching in China.Then the definition of role play will be demonstrated.Next,a literature review regarding role play teaching in China will be shown.Furthermore,some wise advice and implication about how to organize and implement role play activity in a Chinese class will be discussed.Ultimately,the conclusion will sum up the main points of this paper.

THE VALUE OF ROLE PLAY

IntroductionIn China,the English as a foreign language (EFL) class for non-English majors at college levelprovides little opportunity for oral interaction among students.One solution to this problem is toadopt a series of communicative teaching techniques.Role play is one such technique.This paperattempts to assess the value of role play by analysing our experience of using it as a communicationactivity.

Astrocytes in the cerebral cortex play a role in the spontaneous motor recovery following experimental striatal hemorrhage

Intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH)is a stroke subtype caused by spontaneous rupture of small vessels and bleeding into the brain parenchyma,resulting in cell death and sensorimotor deficits.Despite the greater prevalence of the ischemic form of stroke(87%),ICH has the highest mortality rate of all stroke subtypes.The striatum is the most affected structure in hemorrhagic stroke(35–70%),followed by cere-

GhDET2,a Steroid 5alpha-reductase,Plays an Important Role in Cotton Fiber Cell Initiation and Elongation

Cotton(Gossypium hirsutum L.) fibers,one of the most important natural raw materials for the textile industry,are highly elongated trichomes from epidermal cells of cotton ovules.Among the longest plant cells ever characterized,cotton fiber is an ideal system for studying plant cell elongation.

Standardization Plays an Indispensable Role in Solving Energy Problems

On June 27th, the China Construction Ministry (CCM) announced that China will intensify efforts to implement the supervision of construction standards with the goal of promoting energy saving practices. By 2010, urban construction projects are expected to achieve energy savings of 50%, and by 2020 to save 351 million tons of coal.……

Let Each Child Have a Role to Play——A teacher's experiences in human rights education

The future of a country and society belongs to children and youngsters. As a primary school teacher, I keenly feel the need to educate our children in human rights, so that they will develop in an all-round way, morally, intellectually and physically. Over the past few yeas, I have tried to incorporate education in human rights into activities

Standardization Plays an Important Role in China

With the development of global economies and China’s entrance into WTO, standardization is playing a more crucial role in marketing,industrial, and techni- cal fields in China. Governments and enterprises are paying increasing attention to it.

Toolbox of teaching strategies in nurse education

There are a variety of teaching strategies that instructors can use to improve student learning. It is of great importance to select appropriate teaching strategies in nurse education to make the training more appealing and more effective.In this article, ten teaching strategies will be introduced to help instructors learn how to involve the teaching strategy in the nurse education. If using these strategies well, students are more likely to memorize the information associated with the lesson. Selection of teaching strategies appropriately is of great importance for nurse educators to deliver high-quality education.

Gap formation around Ω_e/2 and generation of low-band whistler waves by Landau-resonant electrons in the magnetosphere: Predictions from dispersion theory

In this paper we show that two significant phenomena of magnetospheric chorus emission can be explained by the participation of beam-like electron structures,created by Landau-resonant interaction with growing oblique whistler waves.The first concerns the widely observed spectral gap near half the electron cyclotron frequency Ωe;the second is related to the observation of very obliquely propagating lower-band waves that cannot be directly generated by temperature anisotropy.Concerning the gap,kinetic dispersion theory reveals that interference of the beam-related cyclotron mode ω~Ωe-kVb with the conventional whistler mode leads to mode splitting and the appearance of a ’forbidden’ area in the ω-k space.Thereby the beam velocity appears as an essential parameter.It is directly related to the phase velocity of the most unstable whistler wave mode,which is close to VAe/2 for sufficiently hot electrons(VAe is the electron Alfven velocity).To clarify the second point,we show that Landau-resonant beams with Vb Vb<VAe/2,which arise in cold plasmas from unstable upper-band waves,are able to generate lower-band whistler mode waves at very oblique propagation(θ≥60°).Our studies demonstrate the important role of Landau-resonant electrons in nonlinear whistler wave generation in the magnetosphere.

Long non-coding RNAs play an important role in regulating photoperiod-and temperature-sensitive male sterility in rice

Rice(Oryza sativa L.)is a major food crop for more than half of the world’s population.Therefore,increasing rice production is of great importance.The successful development of hybrid rice in the 1970s was an important achievement for increasing yield potential,since hybrid rice varieties produce higher yields than inbred varieties(Cheng et al.,2007).In plants,male sterility refers to the inability of producing dehiscent anthers and functional pollen(Chen and Liu,2014).

Playing the Role

The G20 London summit made history. While applauding the summit’s productive communique, Ni Xiaoling, senior financial observer with Xinhua News Agency, warns of the gap between the greater responsibilities the International Monetary Fund shoulders and its limited capabilities to play the role of coordinator in economic globalization.

YADU:Playing a Leading Role in the Green Economy

Beijing, which will host the summer Olympic Games in 2008, has committed itself to a "green Olympics." As the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad (BOCOG) spares no effort in promoting the idea, and as relevant government policies come into effect in sequence, China's fledgling "green industry" is gaining ground. On May 11, 2005, the BOCOG announced that
