论中小学写作教学中的“立人”教育

现阶段，加强中小学生的“立人”教育尤为重要。写作教学与“立人”教育之间有密切联系。利用写作教学中的熏陶感染作用，在培养学生写作能力的过程中，结合人的思想形成发展的过程中的知、情、信、意、行，让学生形成知、情、信、意、行正确的内在转化，使学生形成独立意志和灵活、勤劳的优秀品质。在此过程中要加强教师这一外部因素的影响，创造良好的氛围，让学生已形成的正确的内在转化进一步外化为行动，从而达到“立人”教育的目的。

创建“立人”教育特色学校的探索与实践

创建特色学校是当今教育改革的需要,也是落实素质教育的重要举措。广州市白云区人和镇第三小学在创建特色学校的过程中,通过对自身现状的厘清,探索出了自己独特的办学思想,即＂立人＂教育。＂立人＂就是＂心中常有他人,做更好的自己＂。学校以鲜明个性的＂立人＂理念为灵魂,指引特色学校创建;以＂立人＂特色项目为抓手,带动特色学校创建;以＂立人＂校本课程为重要载体,推动特色学校创建;以优质的教师队伍为保障,引领特色学校创建。

Appraisal of the Production-Oriented Approach： An Introduction

The production-oriented approach （POA） has been developed over a decade. It is driven by the need to improve English classroom instruction for university students in China （Wen, 2016）. It is also motivated by the aspiration to enhance the quality of foreign language education in other similar pedagogical contexts outside China. A volume of research has been done by Wen Qiufang and her research team, to formulate the theory of POA and to test its effectiveness in classroom pedagogy （e.g. Wen, 2016, 2015; Yang, 2015; Zhang, 2015）. At the moment, the POA is still at an early stage of theory building and almost all empirical research is done in the Chinese context. In order to improve the quality of this theory and to make it intelligible to the international academic community, a one-day symposium was held in Beijing Foreign Studies University on May 15, 2017. The symposium was entitled ＇The first international forum on innovative foreign language education in China： Appraisal of the POA＇. In the forum, leading experts in applied linguistics were invited to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the POA and the directions for its future development. The symposium was the first attempt for the POA research team to discuss its latest work with international scholars. This Viewpoint section collects the responses of four experts who participated in the symposium, listed in alphabetical order. The collection of articles covers three topics related to the POA： its pedagogical application, its use for teacher training, and its research. Alister Cumming is Professor Emeritus and the former Head of the Centre for Educational Research on Languages and Literacies, University of Toronto, Canada. His article focuses primarily on POA research as an exemplary case of design-based research. Rod Ellis is Research Professor in the School of Education at Curtin University, Australia. He discusses POA in terms of pedagogy, teacher training and research, with both critiques and constructive suggestions. Paul Kei Matsuda is Professor of English and Director of Second Language Writing at Arizona State University, the writed states. He responds to POA from the perspective of an expert researcher and teacher of L2 writing. Charlene Polio is Professor and Associate Chair in the Department of Linguistics ＆ Germanic, Slavic, Asian ＆ African Languages atMichigan State University, the writed states. She conceptualises POA as a useful method to address some issues in pre-service teacher development. Overall, the articles in this section are insightful and reader-friendly. They are not only useful for the development of POA in particular, but may also be valuable to a broad range of researchers as they touch upon pertaining issues, as well as emerging topics, in the field of applied linguistics. We therefore find it necessary to make them accessible to a wide readership.
