During the stage teachers should learn about students' learning motives and the beginners' psychological state to rouse students' interest and mobilize their initiatives so that students can change from passive learning to active learning. The teaching effects will thereby be substantially enhanced.展开更多

Wang, 2016, 2017), a Chinese word meaning continuation that captures the process in which interlocutors participate in interaction through the actions of(utterance) completion,(content) extension, and(topic) creation(CEC). This article reports a conversation analytic case study designed to investigate how the continuation strategies of CEC are used in real-time communication to achieve mutual understanding, and thus to construct intersubjectivity(Verhagen, 2005) and promote the development of second language(L2)interactional competence. Our data consisted of audio and video recordings of a 25-minute conversation between two L2 English speakers, one expert and one novice, and a stimulated recall interview with them. Results revealed that the expert employed CEC at the early stage of interaction to maintain successful communication, and the novice gradually aligned with the expert and used CEC to achieve mutual understanding, construct intersubjectivity, and create opportunities for interaction and learning at the late stage, displaying her development of L2 interactional competence. Our findings have useful implications for theoretical and methodological development of the xu-argument studies as well as for xu-based L2 pedagogy.展开更多

We find that both SPE and its objectivization can achieve Pareto improvement for both the principal and the agent. Our findings have a general application beyond bonus contracts; it not only explains the pervasive existence of SPE, but also helps to interpret phenomena of the objectification of SPE.展开更多

The purpose of ideological and political education, and reflects the dynamic characteristics and the development requirements of the people. Fundamental characteristics of people different from animals, is a person with subjective initiative, or initiative. The purpose of man' s subjective initiative is the activities of man. Traditional culture will effectively influence the students' attitude toward the classes. Therefore, it is more than necessary to combine the ideological and political education with traditional culture.展开更多

While the traditional teaching model in most cases has limited the development of the students' subjective initiative, which is teacher-centered and ignores the student's subjectivity, placing students in a state of passive learning. Presently, the knowledge-feeding teaching mode is faced with being banned. Along with the reform of the teaching objectives, the PE teaching reform is imperative under the direction of mobilizing students' learning initiative, adjusting the PE class structure, broadening the PE teaching and strengthening the design and implementation of the Combination with students' moral education development pattern.展开更多
