移动辅助语言教学新视野—中国内陆高校英语教师信念与实践探究

发布时间:2023-04-07 02:28
  伴随移动信息通信技术(MICT)在新千年的快速发展,我国高校英语教学既充满机遇,也面临诸多挑战。先导研究发现,越来越多的教师开始挑战主流的英语教学方法,借助移动辅助语言学习(MALL)实施混合型英语课程教学。现有的研究显示,语言教师的信念在移动辅助英语学习的教学决策中起着至关重要的作用,但是在他们将新兴的移动信息通信技术资源融入教学的过程中,教师的信念与实践存在自相矛盾的现象。虽然目前为止,学界对于教师的信念与实践已进行了广泛的研究,但对于移动辅助语言学习环境下的高校英语非母语教师的信念分类及教学方法的调研却并不多见。本研究尝试聚焦中国内陆地区高校英语非母语教师对于移动辅助语言学习的教学信念,并对他们在课堂内外使用移动信息通信技术、尤其是以社交网络服务作为辅助工具以开展移动辅助语言教学的过程进行探究。结合本研究的探索性和社会导向特征,采用了Q分类法与案例研究法相结合的混合研究设计,从定性和定量两方面探究了中国中部地区的山西省高校教师对于移动辅助英语教学的信念与实践。在第一阶段,运用Q分类法调查了来自山西省内4所高校的37名英语教师的教学信念,内容涉及:英语语言学理论、英语教学法、课程内...
