Tentative Analysis of the Integration of Grammar-Translation Method and Communicative Language Teaching Approach under Chinese EFL Context

The Grammar-Translation Method(GT)is the most time-honored and widely-adopted approach in Chinese EFL teach-ing.As an approach dominating English teaching for such a long period,GT possess some merits that other methods don’t,likeequipping students with solid grammatical knowledge and basic linguistic competence,but it also inevitably has some limitationslike neglecting the actual use of language and cultivation of communicative ability.While with the acceleration of the globalization,Communicative Language Teaching(CLT),which just possesses the very merit of training students’communicative ability,be-comes a new favor in many schools.Therefore it’s pretty feasible for us to discard drawbacks of GT and combine the merits of GTand CLT to facilitate Chinese EFL teaching.

Sliding Window Network Coding for Free Viewpoint Multimedia Streaming in MANETs

Network coding(NC)can prove to be particularly useful in multimedia streaming applications,where it could help to increase the network throughput and data persistence in Mobile Ad hoc NETwork(MANET).Slidingwindow Network Coding is a variation of NC that is an addition to multimedia streaming and improves the data delay on MANETs.In this paper,we propose a Sliding Window Network Coding for free Viewpoint Multimedia streaming in MANETs(SWNC-VM).SWNC-VM preserves the degree distribution of the encoded packets through the recombination at the nodes.SWNC-VM enables to control the decoding complexity of each sliding-window independently from the packets received and recover the original data.The performance of the SWNCVM is studied using NS2 and evaluated in terms of the encoding overhead,decoding delay,packet loss probability and throughput when a packet is transmitted.The simulations result shows that the SWNC-VM with our proposition can significantly improve the network throughput and encoding efficiency.

Exploring the Narrating Technique of the Second Person in Soul Mountain

Point of view",which is a literary term,has been a long-discussed theme in narratology.There already exist a large number of discussions of the personal pronoun in narratology.The first-person and third-person narration are attached more importance by narratologists while the second-person narration remains under-explored.Using the framework which lies on Schofield’s theory of second-person narrative,this article aims to explore the second person narration and its effects by analyzing the preceding chapters of Soul Mountain written by Gao Xingjian where apostrophe of"you"occurs throughout the book.The second-person narration,viewed as a special narrative mode,has expressive and infectious power.In Soul Mountain,the inner world of different characters is revealed through the second-person narration.With the development of the plot,the specific referent of the second person becomes increasingly intriguing and clear,which uncovers"you"are the self-address of the author."You","I"and"he"are alter egos of the same persona.
