3月16日,南京市教学研究室教研员邢文骏老师莅临南京外国语学校方山分校,面向全体中学英语教师作了题为《核心素养背景下的英语教学》的讲座。
On March 16, Xing Wenjun, a Nanjing-based teacher and researcher, visited NFLSFC and gave a speech entitled “English Teaching Under the Guidance of Core Competency” to all high school English teachers.
邢老师指出,核心素养的提出既顺应国际教育发展的潮流,也满足我国课程改革的诉求。关于核心素养的国际背景,邢老师分享了“五大支柱说”、“关键能力说”以及“八大素养说”,并强调要关注“人的发展”的重要性。关于课程改革,邢老师强调教师需要注重知识、能力、情感培养目标的融合,尤其是要关注“立德树人”的根本任务。邢老师说道,“老师不仅仅是课程的实施者,也是课程的设计者”,在设计课程语料时,应确保语料既是“持久的(durable)”,又是“普适的(universal)”。邢老师指出,教学目标的发展从双基到三维目标再到核心素养,既有融合又有超越。核心素养包括语言能力、文化意识、思维品质和学习能力,要求我们培养全面发展的人。针对目前英语教学中易出现的问题,邢老师提出“Language is learned for use”,教师要培养学生“输入”和“输出”的能力,提升课堂“设问的有效性”(Effectiveness of questioning),注重使用语篇作为语言教学的语言载体,树立学生的文化意识和价值观念,真正实现语言知识和能力的运用。
Mr. Xing pointed out that the proposal of core literacy not only conforms to the trend of international education development, but also meets the demands of our country’s curriculum reform. Mr. Xing shared the “five pillars”, “key competence theory” and “eight literacy theory” to introduce the international background of core literacy. He emphasized the importance of “human development”. Mr. Xing also emphasized that teachers should focus on the following educational goals: knowledge, abilities, and emotion, and teachers must undertake the fundamental task of “fostering character and civic virtue” in the students regarding curriculum reform. Mr. Xing said, “Teachers are not only the implementers of the curriculum, but also the designers.” When designing the curriculum corpus, teachers should ensure that the corpus is both “durable” and “universal”. Mr. Xing pointed out that teaching objects have developed from double bases to three-dimensional goals to core literacy, which are of integration and transcendence. Core literacy includes language skills, cultural awareness, thinking skills and learning abilities, and thus the teachers should enhance the all-round development of students. He said, “Language is learned for use” in response to the current problems in English teaching. He noted that teachers should cultivate students’ input and output abilities and improve the “effectiveness of questioning” in the classroom and pay attention to the use of discourse as the language carrier of language teaching to establish students’ cultural awareness and values, and truly help students to acquire language and develop their abilities.
在一个多小时的讲座里,邢老师以巧妙的比喻、生动的语言、详实的案例让全体与会的英语老师们受益匪浅、收获满满,特别对改进和完善英语教学的具体实践有了更清晰的认识和启发。未来,南京外国语学校方山分校将继续立足课堂,邀请专家、名师走进学校进行指导,全体教师将以更饱满的热情投入到教育教学中去,促进学校教育教学质量不断提升。
Mr. Xing used ingenious metaphors, vivid language and a variety of real-life examples in his speech. All the attendees found the lecture to be very enlightening and useful in improving and perfecting the practice of English teaching. NFLSFC will invite more highly accomplished teachers to give guidance and NFLSFC teachers will continue to be enthusiastic in working hard to further improve educational outcomes and teaching practices.
