基于新课程的语文教学课件的策略和风格

语文教学课件在创设教学情境，构建教学资源平台，以及教学内容的图像、表格、文本、视频、音频等方面，都体现了强大的技术支持和技术魅力，给课堂教学带来了前所未有的生机和活力，为语文教学改革和新教材教学创造了极为有利的条件。但是从实际运用方面看，现实状况跟我们的教学理想相差太远，语文教学课件的设计和应用上还存在许多误区。在新课程背景下，语文教师在设计和制作教学课件时一定要明确：语文教学课件应体现的教学策略和风格，即自主性学习的策略、个性化教学的策略、智能化教学的策略，人文性风格、科学性风格、艺术性风格，真正让学生在审美享受中接受知识、启迪智慧、开发思想并逐渐形成欣赏美、创造美的能力。

漫谈初中语文课前展示

长久以来在语文教学中的生出很多困惑。《语文课程标准》指出:“语文教学激发学习兴趣”。学生思维活动是建立在浓厚的兴趣和丰富的情感基础上的,只要能唤起他们对学习兴趣,他们自然进入学习境界中,进行自觉、自主的学习。可是现在的学生面对语文的现状是,忙于背诵,忙于分析,忙于天天赏析,忙于抄写。从语文学习的内容和范围看,毫不夸张的说,人文世界有多大,语文涉及的范围就有多大。

Question-Generation Reading Strategy of Iranian EFL Learners

This paper tries to explore the effect of question-generation reading strategy on the reading comprehension of Iranian intermediate EFL （English as a Foreign Language） learners. Since the researchers did not have any control over randomization of students and it was considered as one of the features of experimental method, this study is not a true experimental method.

The age range of the learners in both groups was between 19 to 22; the age range difference was so limited that we could neglect the difference concem. The number of students in both groups was closely the same.

Are Terms ＂African（s）＂ or ＂Black（s）＂ Appropriate Substitutes for ＂Bantu（s）＂ in the South African Context？

The name, ＂Bantu＂, is a classificatory term which refers to a sub-group of the Niger-Congo languages, i.e., the Benue-Congo group of languages, which are spoken extensively in the equatorial and southern part of Africa, as well as the family of peoples speaking these languages. As a result of its association with racism during the Apartheid regime in South Africa, the term was heavily politicized and lost its original meaning to acquire racist connotations. In South Africa, the names ＂African（s）＂ or ＂Black（s）＂ are used as substitutes for the stigmatized name ＂Bantu（s）＂ with reference to the Bantu speaking peoples and their languages. This research investigates the use of the words, ＂Africans＂ and ＂Blacks＂ to assess their suitability as replacements for the word ＂Bantu＂.

Factors Contributing to the Effectiveness of a University-Industry Partnership

The university-industry engagement serves as a cooperation that gives benefit to both parties. The universities and the industries are dependent on each other as the university＇s role is to produce human capitals to work at the industries, and the industries on the other hand need human capitals to run their business.

The universities should be aware of the industries＇ changing needs as time changes. Hence the programmes that they offer to their students should take into consideration the industries＇ needs.
