This paper attempts to explore text-theme in the Pearl Harbor address to the nation within the framework of appraisal theory founded by James Martin, et al., the excavation is centered on how the grammatical resources of appraisal can disclose the addressor＇s evaluation of the text-theme. The aim for the study is to testify the operationality and practicability of appraisal theory towards the exploration on text analysis. It is hoped that the theoretical and practical significance in the present exploration of text-theme can provide inspirations and novel insights in the realm of English language teaching and text analysis.展开更多

The teacher needs drama as a tool of motivation and as a common exercise for all pupils. In developing a new method, interview drama, the author has used design-based research telling about three samples, where there is document about its advantages. The method has been developed since 1996 and used it with several groups （adult student teachers and young pupils）. As a text the author has used fairy tales, novels, Hamlet and Kalevala. With Finnish2-students we have read Bibi Moves into Finland and writer Kari Hotakainen＇s novel Ihmisen osa （The Human Fortune）. The students have written positively about the interview drama in their learning logs. Also assessments concerning the method have been positive. It is a funny method. It is not possible to fulfill without laughter. Student teachers （n 90） evaluated the method with Likert scale 1-5. The mean was 4,00. They said： very nice; I shall use it; very useful; phantastic; very interesting; deepens the text and makes it very lively. Only a few were astonished, is it possible to use drama in the university.展开更多

The relative features are mined among English text phrases and sentences, the semantic relevance analysis and feature extraction of keywords in English abstract are realized, the association rules differentiation for English text summarization is obtained based on information theory, related semantic roles information in English Teaching Texts is mined. Text similarity feature is taken as the maximum difference component of two semantic association rule vectors, and combining semantic similarity information, the accurate extraction of English text Abstract is realized. The simulation results show that the method can extract the text summarization accurately, it has better convergence and precision performance in the extraction process.展开更多
