Intercultural Reflection Unit 5 Language and Thinking English straightjacket vs. Chinese straightjacket: Has learning English changed the way you think? Can your language influence your perception of the future and as a result your willingness to save money? Does your Chinese typing habit influence your thinking?
Creative Response 1. Essay writing In 2010, The Economist held a debate on the relationship between language and thinking, proposing that “the language we speak shapes how we think”. Visit the homepage of this debate and summarize the views of the two sides. Then choose either the pro side or the con side and write a 200-300 words essay arguing for your position. 2. Organizing a debate Divide the class into groups. Each group will organize a debate on a topic about language by modeling The Economist debate.

上述能力被分解成更具体、更细小的技能,对它们的培养体现在每一篇课文的选材中,每一项练习的设计中,也希望渗透进教师的每一个授课环节、每一项堂上堂下的活动中。
Unit 1 The Nature of Language Critical thinking: Summarize the main ideas of each paragraph Interpret linguistic facts Exemplify abstract ideas Compare two languages to find their similarities and differences Apply linguistic rules to produce new forms
Intercultural competence: Be open-minded to different cultures Appreciate differing views about languages and cultures Compare the Chinese language and the English language in relation to the two cultures Be aware of the links between cultural differences and language differences
Autonomous learning: Preview the text Develop an awareness of autonomous learning Learn to schedule your time Learn to use appropriate on-line and library resources to look up for information Learn to evaluate your learning
三、教学反思 精读课的定位 语言技能课程与专业知识课程之间的桥梁 新理念和新教材的挑战/阻力在哪里? 学生总是比教师更能拥抱新事物。
大学的精读课与中学的语文课/英语课差别在哪里? 大学教师与中学老师的区别在哪里? 大学生的学习是主要发生在课堂内?还是发生在课堂外? 我们在精读课上是教给学生一个个词汇、短语的用法,还是给他们提供思考的起点?
对于任何课程,守着一套熟悉的教材,采用已经游刃有余的教学方式,对于任课教师而言,永远是最安全舒适且心安理得的选择,而采用新教材、尝试新教法总是面临风险,但这不应该成为我们因循守旧的借口,因为时代在变,社会在变,学生也在变,而年轻的学生总是比教师有更大的勇气和热情去接受和拥抱改革。
