论成人英语学习中的难关突破方法

随着现代社会迅猛的发展,我国与世界各国进行国际交流与合作日益频繁,作为国际语言的英语就越显重要,各类教育都开设英语课。学习者(主要是成人学习者)都急切想知道如何能在短时间内学好英语,尤其是如何能突破英语学习中的难关听力和词汇。笔者认为由于学习者英语水平的提高很大程度上在于学习者本人,而不是教师。因此,学习者有了学习动机以后,掌握科学的学习方法是学好英语的关键。本文主要论述了提高英语听力和扩大英语词汇量的一些科学的学习方法,旨在帮助英语学习者突破英语学习中的难关。     

Networked Legal Learning: An Evaluation of the Student Learning Experience

This paper reports the findings from a case study that was conducted as part of the JISC/CALT funded Networked Learning in Higher Education project. The paper casts light on the wider debate about how and whether tutors can 'align' their teaching style with students' approaches to learning. It evaluates a law course that has been taught on campus using Lotus Notes to support group work and to provide a general course environment. The paper builds upon earlier evaluations of the course reported by the course tutor and used to develop the course design. The findings combine a firm understanding of the tutor's intentions and design with an evaluation of the student experience. This allows a consideration of alignment in a networked learning environment and uses several sources of rich data to triangulate designers' intentions with outcomes. Our findings incline us to the view that networked learning environments may be more open to unplanned influences than traditional courses. As a consequence of the increased number of influences students' may encounter greater degrees of variation in their experience.     

从元认知到自我调节：学习策略研究的新进展

学习策略是学习者主动寻求的,旨在有效提高学习和信息加工效率的规则系统.20世纪80年代以来,学习策略始终是教育心理学,特别是学习心理学研究的核心问题之一.元认知和自我调节学习构成了学习策略的核心或监控层面.学习策略研究从初期单纯强调元认知到强调包括元认知、动机在内的自我调节学习反映了学习心理学领域一种新的整合趋势,同时也表明学习策略研究日益强调课堂干预和应用.     

学习方式的转变：热点冷观

根据学生学习的主动性和创新性程度,学习方式可分为机械接受学习、意义接受学习、发现学习、研究型学习并组成一个完整的序列.学习方式的转变受制约于教师的教育思想、教育情境、教育条件、教育内容和学生的年龄特征及个别差异.教师教育观念的更新、策略式教学水平的提高、教育评价体制和社会文化的变革是学习方式转变的根本保障.在转变学生学习方式时,必须处理好弥补劣势与保持优势、学生主体与教师主导、动手学习与动脑学习、培养能力与掌握知识等方面的关系.     

合作学习理论在英语口译课堂的应用

在英语口译课堂开展小组合作学习既能帮助学生高效率地进行口译前的资料准备,又能营造真实的课堂口译实践气氛,锻炼学生的口译专业技能、心理素质和社会交往等方面的能力。教师要在进行分组、确立学习目标和分配学习任务以及课堂监督和评估等方面注意遵守一定的操作规则;学生也应遵守既团结协作又体现个人价值的规则。只有这样,才能确保合作学习在口译课堂行之有效的开展。     

From Learning to Labour to Learning to Self-Control: The Paradigmatic Change in Swedish Prison Policy

This article has been written from the position that we fail to understand the character of the changes in prison policy in the last decades if we concentrate too much on the new emphasis on control and security. By making use of Thomas Kuhn's paradigm model, the article argues that it is fertile to see the changes in Swedish prison policy during the last decades as a paradigm shift. Although the new emphasis on control and security is important, it is only one feature in a larger transformation which concerns changing perceptions of the criminal subject, new theoretical understandings, new treatment methods, as well as a new role for the prison in penal policy in general. The article conceptualizes the policy that has developed inside the Swedish Prison and Probation Service during the last decades as the developing of a new paradigm in contrast to the old prison policy paradigm of the welfare state. The article especially discusses the significance of the development of so-called evidence-based knowledge as well as the creation of a Scientific Council inside the Swedish Prison and Probation Service which have led to a re-pathologization of the criminal subject. Other features that make up the new paradigm are the numerous programmes built on cognitive therapy and the emphasis on individual risk assessments. On a general level, the new paradigm has developed during, and is congruent with, the dominance of a neo-liberal regime.
