关于英语课堂教学中“批判语言学习”的启示

在各类教学理论层出不穷与教学改革高速发展的今天,如何有效地将'批判语言学习'这一理论与课堂教学结合起来进行中职生英语课程教学,提高学生的英语语言批判能力,进而提高英语的综合运用能力,是完善中职生英语教育教学值得探讨的问题。本文通过批判语言理论学习并结合课内外实践,探讨中职生英语课堂的教学模式、教学设计、学生和教师的角色转变等问题,从而为完善中职生的英语语言综合运用能力尽一份力。

建构主义视域下基于社交网络的批判式英语学习研究

社交网络良好的用户参与性与互动性使其成为语言学习的潜在有效平台。依据建构主义学习观,从社交网络的特点出发,以QQ为实验平台,通过定量定性分析相结合的方法,初步探讨了社交网络对批判式语言学习的影响,尤其是在身份构建、学生赋权、学习自主性、批判性阅读4个方面。研究发现,以QQ为代表的社交网络为平台进行英语学习不仅能促进英语学习效果,还有助于学习者构建英语环境下的自我身份,提高目的语使用意愿;促进权力关系的重新分配,增强学生赋权;任务的真实性、师生角色的转变等特征促进了自上而下的自主学习;多模态文本的解读、对学习形式的反思等增强了批判性素养。

Critical Thinking in Language Learning and Teaching

This paper focuses on current theoretical research in second language education and on how the Language Awareness Approach, specifically, is key to successful second language teaching. LAA methodology gives students the tools and confidence to internalize the second language for the long term. Through the Language Awareness Approach, students become highly motivated self-learners, expertly analyzing the syntax of their native language as well as that of the second language. As students become more skilled in understanding how language works, they are able to internalize the new language and make it their own. Eventually, students do not have to ＂change the chip to the target language＂ when they walk through the classroom door.
