外语教师教育者:概念意涵、研究现状与展望

外语教师教育者肩负"双重责任",不仅担负着职前与在职外语教师教育的任务,同时也间接影响着这些教师的学生学习。然而,国内外应用语言学界对该群体专业发展的探究却相对匮乏。由此,本文首先从通识教育领域相关研究出发对我国外语教育情境中"外语教师教育者"的概念进行了定义,并通过梳理研究现状揭示了亟待填补的研究空白及研究取向,以期为相关理论建构、教育实践及实证研究提供启示。

外语教师教育者发展新动向——英国文化教育协会《教师教育者持续专业发展框架》探析

外语教师教育者特殊的专业角色决定了其持续专业发展的独特性。英国文化教育协会《教师教育者持续专业发展框架》描绘了外语教师教育者的十大专业实践、七项执行力和五大自我意识。强化反思实践导向、理解和服务教师学习、提升专业能力、增进角色意识等为其显著特点。它为外语教师教育者指明了专业发展方向、可能的专业实践活动及其范围,亦可为我国外语教师教育者的持续专业发展提供有益的经验和启示。

University Students＇ Perceptions of English Teachers＇ Codeswitching in Class

Foreign language teachers＇ codeswitching （CS） between Foreign Language （FL） and Mother Tongue （MT） in class has been under discussion for years. Out of the pedagogical concern, many teaching practitioners conducted various studies in different contexts aiming at describing, quantifying, and interpreting teachers＇ CS between FL and MT in class. However, up till now little attention is paid to students＇ perceptions and understandings of teachers＇ CS, which may help improve educators＇ understanding of the phenomenon in FL classrooms. This paper presents the result of two focus group interviews with groups of Chinese university students at their third and fourth year of college. Following a formal interview outline, issues on students＇ recall, understanding and evaluation of teachers＇ CS are addressed in the interview. Based on the analysis of the interviews, a better understanding on foreign language teachers＇ CS is gained, and students＇ perceptions on teachers＇ purposes and reasons for CS are drawn. A framework for investigating foreign language teachers＇ CS in Chinese universities is proposed with two hypotheses generated.
