On the Value Cultivation of Chinese University English Majors

Foreign language education should integrate cultural teaching into the training of linguistic skills. Values, as the core of culture and moral education, should be paid enough attention to. During the study process of Chinese university English majors, they inevitably encounter enormous information of Western cultures and values, and their own values may come into conflict with the ones they meet. So the English teachers have the responsibility to help the students construct correct values. Such principles as cultivating critical thinking, offering the course of Chinese culture and using group discussions and activities should be followed during instruction to facilitate the value cultivation among English majors

Chinese Students’ Perspectives on the Role of Language Learning Advisors in Fostering Learner Autonomy in a UK University

As language learning advisors become familiar figures in self-access centers,their role in language learner autonomy(LLA)has attracted various researchers’ attention.However,higher education students travelling abroad to study are less likely to be familiar with advisors, especially if they are from a country where language advisory service is uncommon, such as in China. Nonetheless, we know very little about what these students think about advisors. Therefore,this study aims to investigate the perspectives these students may have on the role of advisors,enabling their learning needs to be better recognised and supported. This case study involves 120 masters’ students originally from China's Mainland on a pre-sessional course at a research institute in the UK,as well as students at the end of their one-year study, employing questionnaires and interviews to collect data.The results show that before the course,over 80% of the students reckon advisors are monitors to supervise them or advisors are teachers to teach them. However, throughout the course,the students gradually realize advisors play complex roles in developing students’ learner autonomy. Additionally, during the first week on the course, 62% of the students perceive learner autonomy as'to study by oneself, without others’ help'. Nevertheless, at the end of their one-year study, 75% of them perceive learner autonomy as'the attitudes and abilities toward life-long learning'. Overall, the findings indicate that the Chinese students’ transition to the British academic culture deepens their perceptions of learner autonomy, and bridges their gap between theory and practice of learner autonomy, but also helps them gain understanding of the complex nature of the advisor roles.

近代日本中国语教育的形成和演变--以东京外国语学校汉语部为中心

在唐通事的基础和框架上形成的近代日本的中国语教育体系,早期最重要的教育机构,是1873年诞生的东京外国语学校,历史上一般把它分为两个阶段或两个时期:前期为1873年6月(也有说8月)创立,至1886年取消,一般称为旧东京外国语学校(简称“旧外语”);1899年再度复活,规模更加整齐,一直延续至战后,一般称为“新外语”时期。学校内所设的汉语部,是近代日本最大的官办的中国语教育机构。与几乎同时期的英语、法语、德语等西方体系的外国语教育兼有文明传播的功能相比,中国语教育基本上只是止步于一种外交、贸易诸领域的实用性的语言教育。对东京外国语学校以及相关的官办中国语教育机构的沿革变迁的考察,大致可把握整个日本近代中国语教育演变的历史脉络和基本特性。

清华大学东欧交换生中国语文专修班建班考

清华大学东欧交换生中国语文专修班是中华人民共和国成立之初,在毛泽东等中央领导人直接参与下,由周恩来主持,并经外交部、文化教育委员会和教育部等多部门协同运作,委托清华大学建立的当代中国第一个对外汉语教学机构。该班发端于中国和东欧五国交换留学生的动议,中外双方就学习内容与期限、生源资质、生活待遇等问题进行了充分的协商,形成了建国初期留学生教学与管理的雏形。1950年9月,清华专修班正式成立,至1952年秋季转入北京大学之前,实有教职员工17人,学生36名。其行政管理分为3个层面:政府层面为东欧来华留学生工作组,由相关部委人员组成;学校层面为外籍学生指导委员会,由校内知名学者组成;机构层面即清华大学东欧交换生中国语文专修班,在行政级别上与“系”平级,由邓懿主持具体教学工作。清华专修班的工作原则有二,一为“分工合作”,二为“民主集中”。回首望去,清华专修班的建立不仅培养了一批知华友华的外国学生,而且为中国对外汉语教学的发展奠定了稳固的基石,在中国乃至世界汉语教育史上占有重要的一席。

基于后天养先天理论探讨翻转课堂在留学生中医教育中的优势

由于社会文化、风俗习惯、教育背景、思维方式等的差异,留学生在中医教育方面存在“先天不足”。作为中医临床带教老师,应用“后天养先天”的理论,采用翻转课堂(FCM)教学模式补养“后天”,以弥补留学生“先天”文化背景不同带来的差异,从而提高教学效果。FCM分课前、课中、课后三个阶段,根据留学生跨文化适应能力的不同,选择不同的课前“进补”方式;通过良好的生生互动和师生互动,形成课堂良性循环;通过运用和讨论,达到知识的内化吸收。由此可见,FCM在留学生中医教育中存在一定的优势,值得推广。
