介绍
《外语教学法丛书之3:课堂教学决策》的书名是《课堂教学决策》,但是《外语教学法丛书之3:课堂教学决策》并不是讨论教师如何作出“课堂教学决策”,而是阐述如何使学生参与“课堂教学决策”,由此引出一个近年来在外语教学中出现的一个概念,即语言教学中的“协商”(negotiation)的定义是什么、如何实现教师和学生在外语学习中的“协商”、在“协商”过程中会出现什么问题、如何解决这些问题等。
本书正是围绕上述问题的探讨而收集的一部论文集,汇集了近二十位语言教学研究方面的资深教授和专家的论文。本书主编M.P.布雷恩(M.P.Breen)是苏格兰斯特灵大学的语言教育学教授及英语语言教学中心主任,另一位主编A.利特尔约翰(A.Littlejohn)目前任教于伦敦大学教育学院,已编辑出版多部教材。
本书收集了18篇论文,第一篇首先详述了课堂教学中“协商”这一概念的起源,追溯了语言教学交际法、合作性的语言学习的价值、以学习者为中心的理念、自主学习和学生参与课堂教学决策等教学原理的发展。本章也概述了强调学习过程的教学大纲的基本框架,及其如何在课堂教学中实践的有关问题。
