学习语言、学习文化:基于全人教育理念的语言教学Learning Language, Learning Culture:Teaching Language to the Whole Student
金德顺,吕霁月
摘要(Abstract):
本文基于全人教育的理念提出了一种语言教学法概念,即不应该仅仅把语言当作语法和词汇来教,而是要将其延伸到生活的各个方面并使学习者全身心投入其中。本文建立了一个关于语言学习与教学的原创性概念——将语言学习视为发展全人教育的一项工具。本文整合了以语言开展文化学习的相关研究与文化历史活动理论(CHAT),勾勒出一个有关语言学习和人类发展的愿景。在教授语言时,我们应该帮助人们参与其生活的各个方面。这不仅超越了具体学科的知识,也超越了简单的福祉概念。语言学习可以让学生沉浸在他人的世界中,培养他们的同理心与理解力,进而跨越社会和政治分歧。但只有当我们的研究和教学充分建基于语言和文化的交互作用时,语言教学才能做到这点。在这个瞬息万变又普遍联系的当代世界,语言教学设计需要一个更具活力的文化概念。本文基于文化历史活动理论,尤其是其中有关对话和批判的思想,试图开发一种立足于全人教育视角的语言教学法。
