内容依托教学在高职商务英语专业的应用效果研究

选取47名高职商务英语专业的学生为研究对象,采用教学前后对比的方式,考察内容依托教学对学生英语能力、学习兴趣及时代意识的影响。研究表明,除写作能力外,通过内容依托教学学生的英语能力有很大提高,尤其是阅读能力。此外,内容依托教学还提升了学生的学习兴趣,以及跨时代、跨学科的学习意识。     

高职商务英语专业内容依托型教学模式初探

内容依托教学(CBI)是融语言学习与内容学习为一体的教学方式。在高职商务英语专业采用CBI教学模式,以真实的商务活动为背景,使语言学习和专业技能的培养与商务实践相结合,有助于形成"懂商务、会英语"的复合型应用人才培养模式。但目前CBI的实施还面临着教师素质、教学效果以及评估体系等方面的问题,可通过培养专业师资、制定合理教学进度等方法逐步完善。     

高职商务英语专业内容依托教学的实证研究

内容依托教学是内容学习和语言学习为一体的教学方式,此种教学方法在高职商务英语专业教学中的应用效果卓著。通过观察和访谈收集相关数据,采用定性的研究范式,发现在内容依托教学的初步实施阶段还存在学生的认识态度、相关课程的教学内容以及测试和评估等方面的问题。     

国外分区环境管理实践及其对我国的启示

将环境管理融入空间规划,通过科学引导形成规范的空间开发秩序,是从决策源头防止出现重大资源环境问题的根本。国外的一般做法是将环境保护要求作为编制空间规划的重要依据,对环境问题突出的区域进行专门整治,设立专门的保护区域,以及在环境标准中体现区域差异。借鉴国外经验,我国应考虑编制综合性国土规划,制定一揽子区域政策来系统解决区域环境问题,增强环境政策的区域差异性,以及实施环境优先战略。     

Computer-based training for food services workers at a hospital

INTRODUCTION: Interactive computer-based safety instruction (CBI) was given to 73 workers in the food services department of an urban hospital. RESULTS: Post-test accuracy (95%) improved significantly (p < or = 0.0001) from the pre-test (74.5 %), d = 1.09. Generalization was confirmed by increased accuracy in answering questions, posed on-the-job, that required application of knowledge to the work setting (from 46% to 79%; p < 0.0001). Problematic kitchen conditions such as puddles increased slightly after training, but adjustment for increasing production/workload revealed an overall post-training decline in problems from 0.58 to 0.32 (p = 0.0001, d = 0.89). Work practice improvement was seen in 79% of workers (p < 0.0001, d = 1.00). Effect sizes (d) of knowledge, location, and work practice improvements are large and demonstrate that the benefits of CBI extend to the workplace floor. Further, the decrease between knowledge and behavior change (d = 0.09-0.2) is less than reported following other forms of training.
