12月20日,437必赢会员中心客座教授姜文英老师(澳大利亚昆士兰大学教授),应邀为我院师生做了题为任务型及评估驱动型语言教学(Task-based and assessment-driven language teaching)专题讲座,讲座由437必赢会员中心副院长杨辉教授主持,全体教师和翻译硕士研究生参加。
首先,姜老师向在座师生介绍了任务型教学法是最有效的管理课堂学习的方法,其核心任务是实现目标语的交流。她认为,在为学生安排课堂任务的同时必须给出一定的标准,并在学生任务完成后给出反馈。
随后姜老师结合自己多年的海外汉语教学经验,不断地同在座师生对于课堂教学相关问题进行交流,提出课堂教学要超越教材,课程设计的目的是为了让学生满意,提升课堂效果,并且还鼓励教师认真、记录、改进、总结自己的教学过程,敢于研究。她呼吁要将教师要从大量的授课中解放出来,更多地将精力放在课程设计上,将任务交给学生,调动学生积极性。这使在座师生对任务型教学法有了更为深入地了解。
最后,姜老师建议,由于课堂教学的情景是个动态的过程,学生学习的最终评估标准决定了学习方法,所以只有创新评估方式,才能真正提升学生的学习能力。这些建议在外语教学课堂设计、课程任务等方面具有重要的指导意义。
Jiang Wenying, our visiting professor, gave a special lecture to teachers and students on invitation
On December 20, Jiang Wenying, a visiting professor at the school of foreign languages (a professor at university of Queensland, Australia) gave a special lecture on task-based and assessment-driven language teaching to teachers and students on invitation. The lecture was presided over by professor Yang Hui, the vice president of school of foreign languages,and faculty and graduate students of MTI attended it.
Firstly, Miss Jiang introduced that TBLT is the most effective way to manage classroom learning, whose core task is to communicate in target language. She believed that teachers must put forward certain standards while assigning tasks to students in classes, and students must give feedback after completing tasks.
Then Miss Jiang constantly communicated teaching issues with all the teachers and students. She put forward that teaching should go beyond the teaching material, and curriculum design should be aimed at satisfying students, and achieving better teaching results. She also encouraged teachers to seriously record, improve, and summarize the teaching process, and dare to study. She called for teachers should be liberated from a lot of classes and pay more attention to curriculum design, when giving tasks to students to improve students’ enthusiasm. All these enable teachers and students to have a deep understanding on TBLT.
Finally, Miss Jiang suggested that we should innovative evaluation methods to improve students' learning ability for the teaching situation is a dynamic process, and the final evaluation standard of students' learning determines the learning methods. These suggestions are of great guiding significance in classroom design and course tasks of foreign language teaching.
