引言:
2016年10月31日到11月12日,我和学校同事一行10人在台湾文藻外语大学参加了“骨干教师英语能力提升研修”。参与了课堂学习,观摩了两位英语老师的课堂教学,参观了语言会诊中心,听取了英语教学中心吴秋慧主任的关于共同英语课程的介绍和说明。研修时间虽然不是很长,但强度很大,收获很多,现总结如下:
一、文藻印象——一所人文开放的大学
文藻外语大学是一所天主教私立大学,是台湾唯一的外语大学,由圣吴苏乐女修会于1966年创办,创校的理念为培养外语实用人才,促进中西文化交流,宏扬中华文化於世界,培育健全青年,改良社会风气,献身国家建设。有英、法、德、日、西班牙语五种语言教学。校园设计、校舍建筑以及教学上,秉承勤俭、踏实的原则,营造了浓郁的人文气氛。
二、课堂学习——技能培养重于知识传授
两周内我们接受了听说读写综合的培训,开设的课程有 Testing Strategies,Listening and Speaking, Communicative Strategies,Reading, Writing and
Presentation in English。下面逐一做个小结:
1.Testing Strategies
James taught us this course, his English is very good and he used to be a host in a TV station. We received TOIC training,which mainly focused on listening and reading. Some tips are practical: one is that if we want to improve our listening ability we need to practice more. And when can’t understand what we hear,we could go to read the scripts and then listen once more; the other is that before we listen to materials, we’d better read through questions so that we can predict the content of the material and focus the point.
2.Listening and Speaking
Janny taught us this course. She taught us some features of English speech,such as syllables,word stress, important endings,thought groups, intonation, linking,consonant clusters.
The teacher also encouraged us to talk and express our own opinions about some certain topics.Sometimes she let us watch videos which are about American classroom teaching and education systems,after watching we were required to discuss about what we felt and thought. The activity could actually improve our conversational skills.
Janny ,the other day, showed us around Mu Yushan Foods Co. LTD which is near Wenzao University. We visited the whole manufacturing process and knew about how raw materials are selected, how food products are produced and how the food is packed. Finally hospitable Wenzao offered us a delicious lunch.
3.Communicative Strategies
Si-an Chen taught us some strategies on making a compromise,modifying interactions,language registers and speech acts. The impressive thing is that she made very good preparation for teaching and designed various activities to inspire our creative thinking and improve our pragmatic ability.
4.Reading,writing&Presentation
Amy,the teacher, speaks very fluent English.She also made very good preparation for teaching. She adopted proper methods to reach everyone in class. Every moment of her teaching is full of interaction. She not only helped learners improve English proficiency but also let me know about effective ways of teaching reading and writing.For instance,how to design warming up exercises to activate learners’ background knowledge,how to help learners better understand the passage from the general idea to details,how to instruct learners to write a paragraph in an organized and logical way and how to make a clear, concise presentation. The most unforgettable thing is her all-English classroom atmosphere,and she made use of different ways to explain new words rather than use Chinese to help and regulate learners to think in English,to express in English.
Although we stayed in Wenzao for just two weeks, we benefit a lot from all the teachers and faculty we met. Their profound academic knowledge, rich working experience, serious working attitude and their hospitality and kindness impressed us most. Therefore learning in Wnzao is a rewarding and unforgettable experience.
三、共同英文介绍
英语教学中心的吴秋慧主任向我们介绍了共同英语课程的教学目标、课程设置,考核方式等,印象深刻的有以下几点:
1.分层精细
所有学生进校必须参加英文检测,根据成绩分为9个level,然后实施分级教学。
2.考核综合
对于学生的考核实行过程性评价,平时成绩、期中考试和期末考试各占50%、20%和30%。期中和期末考试有口试和笔试,全面考查学生的听、说、读、写能力。
3.分类要求
共同英文课程实行8到24学分管理,程度不同的学生分别学习英文1到3年,英语专业和非英语专业分别达到260分和240分。若不能达到要求,进步80分亦可。若进步没有80分,则需选学一门英语杂志,考核合格即可。
四、语言诊断中心
文藻外语大学设有一个语言诊断中心,对英、法、德、日、西班牙语五种语言学习者的学习情况进行分析诊断,并提出学习建议。学生可根据中心的建议,网上预约老师给予辅导,还可以申请小老师给予辅导,中心有多功能练习室,供学生练习口语,发音等。
五、应用与建议
1.全英文的教学环境
文藻的共同课程的全英文授课,为提高学生的英文水平提供了一个很好的学习环境,值得我们学习。
2.考核方式和题库
文藻对于学生的学期英语考核,注重过程性评价和听、说、读、写能力的综合考查。期中和期末考试都安排有口语测试,这一点值得我们参考。我校现在实行的教考分离也值得商榷,包含考试题的题库直接提供给学生,这一做法的科学性有待考量,评价的目的是为了促进学生的学习,因此考试的内容与平时的教学内容也应该紧密关联。北外的杨鲁新教授也提倡这一做法。
3.引进科学的分层考试体系
文藻的每年一次的英检(CSEPT)由专业机构命题,包含听力和阅读两个部分。考试结果把学生分成9个等级。其命题的信度和效度可想而知。我校的大一新生入学后也进行了一次分层考试,按照考试成绩分成3个层次,但老师们反映分层的精确度不高,给教学带来了一定的难度,因此分层考试的信度和效度都有待提高。
结语:
总之,在文藻外语大学研修的时间不长,但收获很多。学校科学严谨的课程设置体系,教师们的渊博的专业知识,丰富的教学经验,严谨的工作态度,以及热情友好开放的胸怀,无不给我留下了深刻的印象。
