如何在大学英语教学中传授英美文化     

胡瑶 《鄂州大学学报》2009,16(3):66-68

大学英语教学的目的是培养学生的综合应用能力,适应全球化趋势下频繁的国际交流。纯粹学习语言知识而缺乏对中西方文化差异的了解,是无法进行有效交际的。教师应该在传授语言知识的同时,重视对学生文化背景知识的培养,有效提高学生跨文化交际的能力  相似文献   

Variation in Raven's Progressive Matrices scores across time and place     

Symen A. Brouwers  Fons J.R. Van de Vijver  Dianne A. Van Hemert 《Learning and individual differences》2009,19(3):330-338

The paper describes a cross-cultural and historical meta-analysis of Raven's Progressive Matrices. Data were analyzed of 798 samples from 45 countries (N = 244,316), which were published between 1944 and 2003. Country-level indicators of educational permeation (which involves a broad set of interrelated educational input and output factors that are strongly related to economic development), the samples' educational age, and publication year were all independently related to performance on Raven's matrices. Our data suggest that the Flynn effect can be found in high as well as low GNP countries, although its size is moderated by education-related sample and country characteristics and seems to be smaller in developed than in emerging countries.  相似文献   

International field experiences: The impact of class,gender and race on the perceptions and experiences of preservice teachers     

Erik Malewski  JoAnn Phillion 《Teaching and Teacher Education》2009

We explore ways class, gender and race complicate perceptions and experiences of preservice teachers during an international field experience in Honduras. Data were collected over 5 years through observations, group discussions, course assignments, and on-site focus group interviews and post-trip individual interviews. An inductive approach combined with cross-comparative analysis reveal diverse ways class, gender and race shaped and re-shaped preservice teachers' perceptions of self, peers, and host community members. We conclude with a call for international cross-cultural experiences that encourage preservice teachers to critically examine their perspectives, positions in the host community, and learning during study abroad.  相似文献   

Keeping their attention: Classroom practices associated with behavioral engagement in first grade mathematics classes in China and the United States   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

This study investigated variation in students’ behavioral engagement across mathematics classes in China and the United States. Student behavioral engagement was examined along with two aspects of the classroom (group size and teacher instructions given about classroom behavior). Video observational data were collected and coded over 1051 time intervals in 35-minute mathematics sessions in Chinese classrooms (n = 8) and comparable American classrooms (n = 7). Latent growth analyses revealed that overall, behavioral engagement declined over time, although the drop-off was dramatically sharper in American classrooms relative to Chinese classrooms. In addition, larger group size and the timing of teacher instructions (given before versus after the behavior) were significantly associated with increased engagement. This study revealed compelling cultural differences as well as patterns in student and teacher behaviors associated with students engaging in on-task behaviors in the classroom. Implications for ways to promote effective classroom behavior are discussed.  相似文献

大学生文化背景与非言语行为语用失误     

张元敏  刘改琳 《廊坊师范学院学报》2010,26(2):76-78

对西安工业大学100位学生所作的英语语用能力和文化背景知识的测试与调查显示出：由于缺乏文化背景知识,大学生在语用能力测试中出现了大量的非言语行为语用失误。这说明,从文化背景角度探讨大学生非言语行为语用失误的原因,继而针对问题提出相应策略,具有重要的意义。  相似文献   

The importance of doing well in whatever you do: A commentary on the special section, “Implementation research in early childhood education”   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Joseph A. Durlak 《Early childhood research quarterly》2010

This commentary on the special section, “Implementation research in early childhood education,” discusses 10 major conclusions drawn from implementation research and 7 additional issues needing clarification. Some major conclusions are that: (1) the level of implementation achieved can have a strong influence on program outcomes, (2) implementation is a multi-dimensional construct, (3) adaptation occurs frequently and may improve outcomes, and (4) many factors present across multiple ecological levels can affect the implementation process. Some of the major issues needing attention in future research involve determining what are the best ways to (1) measure the multiple aspects of implementation, (2) evaluate the relative importance of factors affecting implementation, and (3) clarify which participant characteristics may influence the relationship between implementation and different outcomes.  相似文献   

谈英汉动物文化习语翻译中译者的适应和选择     

钱语眉 《福建师大福清分校学报》2010,(6):77-82

动物习语是人类文明和语言进化的标志,是各民族独特民族文化和民族心理的积淀。语言与文化之间存在着相互制约相互作用的内在联系。英汉文化的共性和个性导致英汉动物习语的内涵意义之间呈现出不同程度的对称和不对称性。翻译是不同语言,不同文化,不同民族之间沟通和交流的桥梁和媒介,是译者适应翻译生态环境的选择活动。通过英汉动物习语文化内涵的对比,从翻译适应选择论的角度探析英汉动物习语的翻译方法和原则,以期为该领域的研究提供新的视角。  相似文献

改编的内涵界定及其性质分析——兼与重写、改写相比较     

原小平 《孝感职业技术学院学报》2009,12(4):48-54

在当下的影视文学评论界中,“改编”常常和“重写”、“改写”等词语混杂在一起,意义纠缠不清。改编的内涵可以界定为：以原著为基础,创作出具有表演性质的新作品（改编本的体裁往往和原著不同）。改编不仅是一种满足性接受和还原式理解,还是一个化雅为俗的通俗化过程和传播过程,一个二度创作过程。总之,改编是一种集接受、传播和创作为一体的艺术活动。改写和重写虽也具有这三种性质,但具体来讲,却都和改编有显著的差别。  相似文献
