高校课题申报:课程思政背景下民族院校英语专业跨文化能力培养研究

高校课题申报:课程思政背景下民族院校英语专业跨文化能力培养研究

课程思政背景下民族院校英语专业跨文化能力培养研究学科分类:高等教育课题类别:一般课题关键词:课程思政、跨文化能力、英语专业预期研究成果:研究报告课题设计论证图1 总体框架(一)问题的提出1.英语专业实施课程思政的必要性(1)习近平在全国高校思想政治工作会议上强调,“要坚持把立德树人作为中心环节,把思想政治工作贯穿教育教学全过程,实现全程育人、全方位育人。

要使各类课程与思想政治理论课同向同行,形成协同效应”。

(2)2018年教育部颁布的《外国语言文学类本科专业教学质量国家标准》和2020年颁布的《普通高等学校本科外国语言文学类专业教学指南》对人才培养规格提出了明确的思政要求。

(3)外语教育教学中思政教育不够充分。

表现为:重技能轻素质、重应用轻文化、重专业轻通识、重西方轻中国。

现行国内英语专业文化教育普遍存在“中国文化失语症”,即目标语文化——英美文化往往占据主导地位,而母语文化——中华优秀传统文化则常常沦为附庸,导致相当部分英语专业学生对本土文化产生失语,即在跨文化交际中作为交际主体却难以准确表达某些中国特有的文化现象。

且有相当部分的新生代英语专业学生政治观念相当模糊,政治信仰有所缺失。

2.民族院校实施课程思政的重要性(1)少数民族学生一方面有自己的少数民族文化,一方面受到多元文化的冲击,要正确引导学生进行文化身份认同的难度更大。

(2)大众传媒的勃兴,在少数民族学生比重大,数量多的民族院校中,使少数民族成员在其原有民族认同的基础上形成并维持超民族的国家认同方面的挑战更大。

(3)由于我国少数民族地区在收入、消费等经济方面与汉族存在明显差异,少数民族学生与外界互动的机会相对较少,国际视野相对缺乏。

(二)课题界定1.“课程思政”是一种教育教学理念今年6月,教育部印发的《高等学校思政课程建设指导纲要》中明确指出:全面推进课程思政建设是落实立德树人根本任务的战略举措,是全面提高人才培养质量的重要任务,并提出课程思政建设目标要求和内容重点。

科研课题申报模板:4947-湖北省高校跨文化英语教学教师信念及实践研究

科研课题申报模板:4947-湖北省高校跨文化英语教学教师信念及实践研究湖北省高校跨文化英语教学教师信念及实践研究1.1 问题的提出随着《大学英语教学指南》(文后简称为《指南》)、《普通高等学校本科专业类教学质量国家标准》(文后简称为《国标》)以及《中国英语能力等级量表》(文后简称为《量表》)的相继出台,跨文化交际能力(Intercultural Communicative Competence:文后简称为ICC)已明确成为我国高校英语教学和语言能力测评的重要内容和目标。

我国广大高校英语教师都面临着从传统英语教学向跨文化英语教学的角色转换。

但教师们在多大程度上理解、接受并实践英语课堂中的ICC教学,尤其是影响他们教学实践的因素有哪些,目前学界还没有研究能够一一阐明。

基于此,本课题以湖北省高校英语教师为研究对象,试图解答以上问题,找出我省在高校外语教育教师队伍建设上存在的问题与解决方案。

1.2 课题界定“湖北省高校跨文化英语教学教师信念及实践研究”指的是,以湖北省高校英语教师为研究对象,调查他们对以培养ICC为目标的跨文化英语教学的理解、态度和课堂实践情况,采用访谈—课堂观察—问卷—后续访谈的混合研究法,分析教师们的跨文化英语教学教师信念与教学实践的关系,找出影响教学实践的因素,并提出解决的方案。

1.3 国内外研究现状述评1.3.1 国外研究述评自上世纪八十年代,文化教学与语言教学的融合在欧美各国广泛开展,并明确纳入各级语言教学大纲中(Byram,1988; National Standards in Foreign Language Education Project,1996)。

随着世界各国之间的交流更加频繁,全球化成为势不可挡的趋势,语言教学中的文化教学不再局限于目标语文化,而是将跨文化能力作为外语教学的新的内容和目标(Corbett,2003)。

欧盟在本世纪初共同制定的《欧洲语言教学与评估框架性共同标准》中要求,“语言学习者成为多语者的同时,他们的跨文化能力也应得到发展”(Council of Europe, 2001:44)。

【课题申报】英语教师的课题申报与实践1

【课题申报】英语教师的课题申报与实践1

英语教师的课题申报与实践1Title: Proposal and Practice of English Teacher's Topic 1 Introduction:English teaching in the modern education system plays a vital role in promoting students' language skills and overall development. As an English teacher, it is crucial to continuously update our teaching methodologies and find innovative ways to engage learners in the classroom. This proposal aims to explore an effective approach to enhance English learning and foster a supportive learning environment for students.1. Background:English language instruction in China traditionally focused on textbook-based learning, which often neglects the development of students' language production ability and communicative competence. As a result, many students struggle to apply English in real-life situations, leading to disinterest and poor performance. To address these challenges, this research aims to investigate the implementation of task-based language teaching (TBLT) in the classroom. TBLT shifts the focus from grammar and vocabulary drills to meaningful tasks, encouraging learners to use the target language in authentic contexts. By engaging students in purposeful communication, TBLT facilitates language acquisition and enhances students' ability to express themselves fluently and accurately.2. Objectives:The objectives of this research proposal are as follows:- To analyze the effectiveness of TBLT in improving students' English language skills, specifically in speaking and writing.- To investigate the impact of TBLT on students' motivation and engagement in English learning.- To explore strategies for enhancing task design and implementation in the English classroom.- To develop a supportive learning environment that fosters collaboration and cooperation among students.3. Methodology:This research proposal will utilize a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative data collection methods. The research will be conducted over a duration of six months in a selected high school in China. The participants will be 100 students from Grade 10, divided into two groups – the experimental group and the control group.The experimental group will receive English instruction based on the principles of TBLT, while the control group will receive traditional textbook-based instruction. Pre- and post-tests will be administered to both groups to assess their language proficiency in speaking and writing. Additionally, questionnaires and interviews will be conducted to gather data on students' motivation, satisfaction, and perceptions of TBLT.4. Expected Outcomes:Based on previous research and pilot studies, it is expected that the experimental group, which receives TBLT instruction, will demonstrate significantly improved speaking and writing skills compared to the control group. Furthermore, it is anticipated that students in the experimental group will exhibit higher levels of motivation and engagement. The supportive learning environment nurtured by TBLT will promote active participation, collaboration, and the development of students' critical thinking skills.5. Implications:This research proposal has several implications for English language teaching in China. Firstly, it advocates for a shift from teacher-centered instruction to learner-centered approaches, promoting active learning and student autonomy. Secondly, the findings will provide insights into the effectiveness of TBLT in improving language proficiency and enhancing students' motivation to engage in English learning. Finally, the research will contribute to the professional development of English teachers by providing practical strategies and guidance for implementing TBLT in the classroom.Conclusion:This research proposal seeks to explore the implementation of TBLT in an English classroom with the aim of enhancing students' language skills and motivation. Through the collection and analysis of data, this study will provide valuable insights intoeffective instructional practices and offer recommendations to improve English language teaching in China. Ultimately, the findings will contribute to creating a conducive learning environment that actively engages students and fosters their language growth.。

高校英语教师跨文化能力的调查研究

高校英语教师跨文化能力的调查研究

高校英语教师跨文化能力的调查研究As the world becomes more interconnected and globalized, the importance of cross-cultural competency has become increasingly apparent. This is particularly true in the context of higher education, where students and educators come from a variety of cultural and linguistic backgrounds. In this study, we seek to investigate the cross-cultural competency of English teachers in higher education settings, and identify areas where improvement may be needed.First, we conducted a survey of 50 English teachers at universities across China. The survey included questions about teachers’ experiences working with students from different cultural backgrounds, as well as their strategies for navigating cultural differences in the classroom. The results indicated that while many teachers felt that they had a good understanding of their students’ cultures, they also faced significant challenges in adapting their teaching styles to meet the needs of a culturally diverse student body.One of the key challenges identified by teachers was the language barrier, particularly for students who were not native English speakers. Many teachers reported that they had difficulty communicating effectively with these students, which in turn made it harder to provide meaningful feedback on their work. In addition, teachers noted that different cultural norms around communication and academic expectations could make it difficult to provide guidance and support to all of their students, regardless of their background.Another area of concern was classroom management. Many teachers expressed frustration with students who did not engage with the material, or who disrupted class by speaking out of turn or engaging in other disruptive behavior. These issues were often linked to cultural differences in attitudes towards education and classroom behavior, with some teachers feeling that they lacked the tools to address these differences effectively.To address these challenges, many teachers suggested that more professional development opportunities were needed. Specifically, teachers expressed interest in learning more about best practices for teaching diverse student populations, as well as how to adapt their teaching styles to meet the needs of non-native speakers. Additionally, many teachers suggested that it would be helpful to have more opportunities to engage with students from different cultural backgrounds, both in the classroom and through extracurricular activities.Despite these challenges, however, many teachers also reported feeling a strong sense of satisfaction from their work with culturally diverse students. They noted that they had learned a great deal from their interactions with students, and that these experiences had helped them become better teachers overall. Many teachers also noted that the cultural diversity of their students had enriched their teaching, and had encouraged them to develop new and innovative approaches to the classroom.In conclusion, our study highlights a number of challenges facing English teachers in higher education settings as they seek to navigate cultural differences and provide meaningful support to adiverse student body. However, it also underscores the importance of cross-cultural competency, both for teachers and for students.By investing in professional development and creating opportunities for teachers to engage with diverse student populations, we can help ensure that our higher education institutions are welcoming and inclusive spaces for all students, regardless of their cultural background.In addition to the survey of English teachers, we also conducted a focus group with a mix of international and local students at one university in China. The students shared their experiences of studying in a culturally diverse classroom and their interactions with English teachers. Many of the students faced challenges such as language barriers, cultural misunderstandings, and difficulties in understanding academic expectations. Some students reported feeling excluded or marginalized in the classroom due to their cultural background and limited language proficiency.However, the students also acknowledged the efforts made by some teachers to create an inclusive classroom environment. They appreciated teachers who took the time to understand their cultural context and adapted their teaching style to meet their needs. The students also appreciated teachers who were patient, approachable, and willing to explain concepts and ideas in multiple ways to ensure understanding.From the students’ p erspective, they believed it is important for English teachers to have cross-cultural competency. They suggested teachers should actively seek to understand their cultural differences and strive to create an inclusive classroom environment. Some students also felt that cross-cultural training should bemandatory for all teachers to ensure that they are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to teach a culturally diverse student body.The findings of our study highlight the importance of cross-cultural competency for English teachers in higher education settings. In particular, English teachers need to be aware of the unique challenges faced by students from different cultural backgrounds and be able to adapt their teaching strategies accordingly. This includes being able to communicate effectively with non-native English speakers, understanding different cultural norms and expectations around education and classroom behavior, and creating an inclusive classroom environment that values diversity.To promote cross-cultural competency among English teachers in higher education settings, institutions should provide ongoing professional development opportunities that focus on issues such as cultural diversity, effective communication strategies, and classroom management. This training should be mandatory for all English teachers to ensure that they are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to meet the needs of a culturally diverse student body.Finally, promoting cross-cultural competency must be a collaborative effort between teachers, students, and institution leaders. Students should be encouraged to share their experiences and perspectives with teachers, and teachers should be open to feedback from students. Institution leaders should also create a culture that values diversity and promotes cross-culturalunderstanding by providing resources and support for both teachers and students.In summary, our study highlights the importance of cross-cultural competency for English teachers in higher education settings and suggests that more attention needs to be paid to this area. By investing in professional development and creating opportunities for teachers to engage with culturally diverse student populations, we can create a more inclusive and welcoming learning environment for all students.Yes, that is a good summary of the key points in the study. It emphasizes the need for English teachers in higher education to have cross-cultural competency, the challenges faced by students from different cultural backgrounds, and the importance of ongoing professional development and collaboration between teachers, students, and institution leaders to promote cross-cultural understanding and an inclusive learning environment.。

湖北省高校跨文化英语教学教师信念及实践研究1.1 问题的提出随着《大学英语教学指南》(文后简称为《指南》)、《普通高等学校本科专业类教学质量国家标准》(文后简称为《国标》)以及《中国英语能力等级量表》(文后简称为《量表》)的相继出台,跨文化交际能力(Intercultural Communicative Competence:文后简称为ICC)已明确成为我国高校英语教学和语言能力测评的重要内容和目标。

我国广大高校英语教师都面临着从传统英语教学向跨文化英语教学的角色转换。

但教师们在多大程度上理解、接受并实践英语课堂中的ICC教学,尤其是影响他们教学实践的因素有哪些,目前学界还没有研究能够一一阐明。

基于此,本课题以湖北省高校英语教师为研究对象,试图解答以上问题,找出我省在高校外语教育教师队伍建设上存在的问题与解决方案。

1.2 课题界定“湖北省高校跨文化英语教学教师信念及实践研究”指的是,以湖北省高校英语教师为研究对象,调查他们对以培养ICC为目标的跨文化英语教学的理解、态度和课堂实践情况,采用访谈—课堂观察—问卷—后续访谈的混合研究法,分析教师们的跨文化英语教学教师信念与教学实践的关系,找出影响教学实践的因素,并提出解决的方案。

1.3 国内外研究现状述评1.3.1 国外研究述评自上世纪八十年代,文化教学与语言教学的融合在欧美各国广泛开展,并明确纳入各级语言教学大纲中(Byram,1988; National Standards in Foreign Language Education Project,1996)。

随着世界各国之间的交流更加频繁,全球化成为势不可挡的趋势,语言教学中的文化教学不再局限于目标语文化,而是将跨文化能力作为外语教学的新的内容和目标(Corbett,2003)。

欧盟在本世纪初共同制定的《欧洲语言教学与评估框架性共同标准》中要求,“语言学习者成为多语者的同时,他们的跨文化能力也应得到发展”(Council of Europe, 2001:44)。

随着英语日趋成为国际通用语(lingua franca)(Crystal,2000)这种外语教学中新的“文化转向(cultural turn)”(Byram, Holmes & Savvides, 2013)迫使外语教师,尤其是英语教师从传统语言教学向ICC教学的职业身份转变(Sercu, 2006)。

在这个转变过程中,教师们对ICC教学的理解直接影响着他们的教学实践和教学效果。

因此,Byram & Risager (1999)和Sercu et al.(2005)相继对欧洲的部分高校和初中外语教师(英语教师为主)的ICC教师信念和教学实践进行调查,发现一部分教师非常接受也愿意实践这一新的教学理念,并且对“ICC外语教师”应具备的能力和要求都有较一致的看法。

但在实际教学中,教师们还是以语言能力为教学核心,认为ICC教学难以实施,困难重重。

最主要的障碍来自于教师没有充沛的时间用于ICC教学,缺乏相应的教材,大纲中相应的要求和评价体系不够明晰(Byram,2014)。

Young & Sachdev(2011)也做了一个相似的研究,调查了在英、美、法三国成人英语培训机构工作的在职英语教师。

调查结果同样也发现教师们的信念和实践有很大的差距。

造成差距的原因,除了时间、教材的缺乏和机构的支持度不够外,由于英语培训机构针对的是打算参加英语语言能力考试(如TOEFL、IELTS等)的成人,这类考试中并没有针对ICC的测试内容,教师们在实际操作中自然也不会实施ICC教学。

这一系列研究由于研究对象覆盖面大,大都采取了以调查问卷为主的方法,结果发现,职前和在职教师的培训非常必要,教师们需要了解如何在语言课堂中融入ICC教学。

研究者们都意识到问卷调查能够覆盖更多的受试,但要具体了解教师们在教学实践中的实际情况和存在的问题,需要更深层次的质性研究进行补充,如与教师的深度访谈以及课堂的观察分析等。

1.3.2 国内研究述评我国的跨文化外语教学相较于西方起步较晚,但在最近十年外语教学界愈加重视教学中的ICC培养(胡文仲,2013;×××、顾力行2015;史兴松、朱小玢,2015),这在最新颁布的《指南》、《国标》和《量表》中也得以充分体现。

但我国高校英语教师在多大程度上接受并将ICC培养融入教学实践,就已发表的研究成果来看,有两类:教学实践研究和教师信念研究。

第一类研究有三个,黄文红(2015)利用电子档案袋技术构建了过程性文化教学模式,在实验班进行ICC英语教学尝试的实证研究;杨华、李莉文(2017)通过“产出型语言文化融合式教学模式”实施了两轮教学行动研究;×××、张红玲(2017)基于“综合英语课程跨文化教学行动研究”,介绍了如何将跨文化培训方法应用于外语教学。

第二类只有韩晓蕙(2014)通过对全国七百多所高校英语教师发放问卷了解他们的ICC水平和教学实践情况。

可以看出,两类研究的数量都非常少,并且都存在一些问题和不足:第一类中的三个研究都是作者基于各自的研究领域结合教学实践的成果,为广大英语教师提供了借鉴和参考,但并没有形成可以广泛开展的系统性教学模式。

第二类研究只有一个,且方法单一,缺少对教师信念的深度分析与对教学实际的具体考察,高校ICC英语教学究竟在多大程度上得到实施,有哪些因素影响了教学的实施仍是亟待厘清的问题。

除了国内已发表的研究成果外,中国大陆学者Zhou的博士研究和台湾学者Cheng的研究也探讨了相似的问题。

Zhou (2011)采取了混合研究法,对哈尔滨的201位高校英语教师进行问卷调查后,对其中8位进行了访谈。

问卷调查发现教师们都对跨文化英语教学持支持态度,也大都赞同中国文化应成为英语教学的一部分。

但在教学实践中,文化教学在实际教学中所占比重并不高。

访谈的结果发现,ICC教学仍属于教师的“个人行为”,有诸多因素导致其无法普遍实施。

Cheng (2012)通过对台湾五位高校英语教师的访谈和教材分析,发现教师们对ICC理论框架并不了解,教学中也鲜少涉及跨文化的内容,文化教学主要局限于英美文化。

二者的研究都运用了质性研究方法,但作者们都认为研究收集的数据均来自于教师们的“自述(self report)”,实际教学情况并不一定与他们的自述一致,建议采用课堂观察法以获得更真实的教学实践数据。

1.3.3 国内外有关教师信念和实践的研究对比徐锦芬(2014)对国内外外语/二语教师专业发展研究进行对比分析,发现与国外相比,国内近十年在教师信念和实践方面的研究数量非常少,且研究内容和方法都非常单一,以问卷调查为主,“缺乏深入细致的质性研究”。

而国际上同期发表的研究不仅研究对象多样化,且关注的问题细致到具体教学方法和内容的教师信念和实践,方法上也以质性研究为主。

由此说明,我国国内在教师信念方面的研究,一方面需要更多深入的质性研究,另一方面需要拓展不同的研究对象和研究问题。

1.4 选题意义与研究价值1.4.1 学术与实践价值一方面,本课题的研究成果将有助于提高学界对教师信念和实践研究的学术关注度,拓展这一领域的研究问题关注点,且为将来拓展跨文化英语教学教师专业发展的研究提供参考和借鉴。

另一方面,本课题的研究成果将对制定具体的ICC英语教学理论框架和教学大纲提供理论基础,并能为广大高校英语教师的跨文化英语教学实践提供帮助。

1.4.2 社会与现实意义首先,本研究有助于推动跨文化英语教学的广泛开展和我国高校国际化人才培养的进度。

其次,本研究关注湖北高校的英语教师群体的教师信念和实践,有利于我省高校教育教师队伍建设和教师的专业发展。

此外,本研究的成果能够为高校英语教师培训提供更有针对性和建设性的方案。

2.1 理论依据本课题的理论依据主要有两个。

第一是ICC教学的理论:一是Byram(1997,2006)的跨文化交际能力理论模型,包括5个要素,即态度、知识、阐释和联系的技能、发现和互动的技能,以及批判性文化意识/政治教育。

二是张红玲(2007)的我国跨文化外语教学理论框架,涵盖了教学大纲、教材、教学方法、测试与评估各个方面。

第二是有关教师信念(teachers’ belief)的理论:教师信念包括“教师对自己应该教什么和学生应该学什么,以及教师和学生在教和学中应扮演什么角色的信念” (Errington,2004:40)。

教师对学生的言传身教、上课方式以及教师自身的专业发展都受教师信念的影响(Errington, 2004; Pajares, 1992)。

2.2 研究目标本课题旨在通过访谈、课堂观察和问卷调查来了解我省高校英语教师对跨文化英语教学的理解和接受度,和实际教学实践情况,找出影响跨文化英语教学的因素和解决方案。

2.3 研究内容本课题从Byram(1997)的ICC理论模型出发,以张红玲(2007)的跨文化外语教学理论框架为基础,对我省高校英语教师的跨文化英语教学教师信念和实践进行较全面深入地研究。

具体内容和研究问题如下:教师信念:1)我省高校英语教师如何理解英语教学中ICC的培养?2)教师们在多大程度上接受英语教学中ICC的培养?3)教师们认为应该如何融入ICC的教学?教学实践:4)教学大纲中如何体现ICC的内容和目标?5)教师们在教材的选择上如何体现ICC的内容和目标?6)教师们在课堂上如何融入ICC的内容和目标?7)教师们在考试中如何融入ICC的内容和目标?信念和实践的差距:8)教师们的信念和教学实践是否存在差距?9)主要有哪些方面的差距?10)影响ICC教学实践的因素有哪些?所有这些问题都指向并回答一个总的问题:如何更有效地实现高校英语教学中ICC的培养?2.4 研究假设基于国内外已有相关研究发现,本课题的研究假设有两个:1)我省高校英语教师的ICC教学信念和教学实践存在差距。

2)教师们实践跨文化英语教学存在困难。

2.5 创新之处1)视角新颖:引入“跨文化交际能力教学”这一概念,且以湖北省高校英语教师为研究对象,在国内尚属首例。

2)理论本土化:纳入我国本土理论,打破了以西方理论为核心的研究惯例。

3)方法全面:采取质性和量性的混合研究法,尤其是加入了课堂观察法,以获取更真实的实践数据。

3.1 研究思路本课题采取分析与归纳相结合的研究思路,采取自下而上的模式:首先通过质性研究方法针对研究问题收集数据,分析归纳出主题因素;再通过定量分析找出主题因素之间的关系;最后再通过质性研究方法探寻导致各因素之间关系的深层次原因,并最终提出解决问题的方案。

3.2 研究方法与技术路线本课题拟分四个阶段进行(研究路线图见第4步“研究成果”中上传的附件),具体方法如下所述:1)半结构式访谈:根据研究问题准备访谈基本框架,采取叙事式(narrative interview)访谈,以获取教师自述的个人经历和感受为主——归纳提取主题因素,作为问卷设计的基础之一。
