ABSTRACT

Teaching Chinese to second language learners is a challenge for preschool teachers in Hong Kong so effective teacher professional development programmes are urgently needed to enhance their knowledge and skills. An Integrative Model Teacher Professional Development Programme which incorporates three theoretical underpinnings (i.e., culturally responsive teaching, meaningful and pleasurable learning, and effective teaching of Chinese as a second language) is designed to equip preschool teachers with knowledge, skills, and awareness in teaching Chinese to ethnic minority students. Through qualitative interviews with 15 in-service preschool teachers who joined the Programme, teachers’ perceptions and changes in three theoretical areas of teaching Chinese to ethnic minority students were explored. Particularly, teachers increased their awareness of ethnic minority cultures, developed empathy with ethnic minority children and their families, gained knowledge of implementing culturally responsive teaching and meaningful and pleasurable learning of Chinese. The role of teacher sharing in effective professional development was highlighted.  相似文献   

The Communicative Method in the Teaching of Listening and Speaking English     

Chai Yuanzhi 《开封教育学院学报》1997,(1)

It has been my experience as an Instructress of！lstening and Speaking English Coursethat one of the most difficult challenges Is promoting natural conversation with the students.Many students say that they want more conversation In Speaking classes,but several prob-ferns arise.For one thing,students often do not know what to talk about.They are at a lossas to how a native speaker begins a conversation.  相似文献

Thermal mixing of two miscible fluids in a T-shaped microchannel     

Xu B  Wong TN  Nguyen NT  Che Z  Chai JC 《Biomicrofluidics》2010,4(4):44102

In this paper, thermal mixing characteristics of two miscible fluids in a T-shaped microchannel are investigated theoretically, experimentally, and numerically. Thermal mixing processes in a T-shaped microchannel are divided into two zones, consisting of a T-junction and a mixing channel. An analytical two-dimensional model was first built to describe the heat transfer processes in the mixing channel. In the experiments, de-ionized water was employed as the working fluid. Laser induced fluorescence method was used to measure the fluid temperature field in the microchannel. Different combinations of flow rate ratios were studied to investigate the thermal mixing characteristics in the microchannel. At the T-junction, thermal diffusion is found to be dominant in this area due to the striation in the temperature contours. In the mixing channel, heat transfer processes are found to be controlled by thermal diffusion and convection. Measured temperature profiles at the T-junction and mixing channel are compared with analytical model and numerical simulation, respectively.  相似文献

柴国荣  黄龙沣  宗胜亮 《科技管理研究》2017,(14)

空间受限项目的事故风险源多,且易诱发连锁反应。如何快速识别空间受限项目的风险源,并有效评估各个诱发节点的风险大小,对空间受限项目的风险管理具有重要意义。识别空间受限项目风险源并构造贝叶斯网络,通过贝叶斯网络推理的正向预测、反向诊断,获得各个风险源节点的后验概率,并计算风险源概率与事故发生的互信息,同时引入风险可控值概念及指标量化,构建基于贝叶斯网络的二维四区风险管理模型,提出空间受限项目风险源管理策略,最后通过一个实例对研究结果进行说明。  相似文献
