内容简介
当前,我国外语教育领域正在进行着全面而深入的改革。改革的内容涉及到外语教育的方针政策、基本理念、基本原则、教育文化、教育实施、教育评价等各个方面,也关系到新世纪亿万学生的成长和可持续发展。随着课改新理念、语言新方针和教育新策略的确定及课改的逐步推开,教师培训工作的重要性和关键作用变得越来越突出。从某种意义上说,课改能否最终获得成功,取决于广大教师对课改的认识、取决于他们的语言理论水平和实际工作能力。
对英语教师来说,新一轮的课改提出了许多新的理念和原则:强调学习者的个性发展的“以人为本”的教育思想;强调语言学习与人的可持续发展的关系;强调语言目标的新内涵:知识、技能、策略、文化和情感等;强调语境教学与综合全面评价理论的引进。所有这些具有丰富内涵的理念,都需要广大教师学习和了解。
