英美文化概况之英国篇

英美文化概况之英国篇 英国早期人文历史常识 (一) 英国东邻北海,西、北面对大西洋,南面是英吉利海峡(the English Channel),与法国隔海相望。 地理上,这里被称为“不列颠群岛”(British Isles),由大不列颠岛(Great Britain)和爱尔兰岛(Ireland)这两大岛屿,以及其它几百个小岛组成。 大不列颠岛上分布着英格兰、苏格兰和威尔士(England,Scotland and Wales)三个区域,而爱尔兰岛则分成北爱尔兰和爱尔兰共和国(Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland)两块。 政治上,大不列颠和北爱尔兰共同组成联合王国(the United Kingdom),而爱尔兰共和国则是独立于联合王国而存在的独立的国家。我们通常所说的英国,则是指联合王国。 联合王国的首都是伦敦(London);而爱尔兰共和国的首都是都柏林(Dublin)。 大不列颠岛在政治上被划分成英格兰、苏格兰和威尔士三个区域,其中英格兰面积最大、人口最多,总的来说也最为富裕。因此很多人通常会用“英格兰人”(English)指代“不列颠人”(British),这点当然会引起苏格兰人和威尔士人(Scots and Welsh)的不满。不列颠在大约一百年前曾统治着世界上四分之一的人口和土地,其殖民地遍布全球各大洲。二战之后,随着不列颠国力衰退,各殖民地纷纷独立,不列颠帝国(the British Empire)在1931年起被英联邦所取代。

英联邦(the Commonwealth of Nations)是由英国和已经独立的前英国殖民地或附 属国组成的联合体。英国作为英联邦元首并无政治实权;各国在一定协议上相互进行政治、主要是经济方面的磋商和合作;各成员国也有权利选择退出英联邦。 (二) 英国地势西北高、东南低。其西北地区主要地形是高原;而东部和东南部则主要是低地,他们是整个欧洲平原(the Great European Plain)的组成部分。 英格兰占据了大不列颠南面的最大部分土地,那里地势平缓,多为平原、丘陵和沼泽地。特别是英格兰东部沿海地区,土地肥沃,适于耕种。 苏格兰多为山地、湖泊和岛屿,它拥有三大自然区:北部高地,中部低地以及南部山陵。不列颠最高峰尼维斯峰(Ben Nevis)便座落于此,高1,343米。威尔士亦是多山地区,6%的土地被森林覆盖,大部分村庄以放牧为主。 北爱尔兰北部为多岩石、荒蛮的海岸,曲折蜿蜒。其东北部多为高地,东南部为山区,而中部则是低浅的盆地。 不列颠是个岛屿国家,四面环海,它隔着英吉利海峡与欧洲大陆遥遥相望。位处英法两国之间的英吉利海峡最窄之处被称作多佛海峡(Straits of Dover),仅有33公里宽度。1985年英国政府和法国政府决定在多佛海峡处修建海峡隧道。 总长153公里的隧道于1994年五月竣工通车,使得欧洲公路网得以连成一体,被誉为人类工程史上的一个伟业。 英国河流分布细密。塞文河(the Severn)是英国第一大河流,长338公里,它同西

英语教育实习调查报告

英语教育实习调查报告 英语教育实习调查报告 组成教学系统的基本要素是学生、教师与课程、客观世界(英语语言)。怎么把三者有机结合起来,收到最佳效果,是我实习期间向来考虑的咨询题。经过校外实地教学,我意识到,能否调动学生学习英语的主动性和积极性,是教学成败的关键。因此,实习期间我就怎么调动学生主动性、积极性这一咨询题展开了调查。 调查对象是我任课的天津普育学校的学生,调查以咨询卷形式进行,共收回有效答卷310份。调查的题目共六个: (1)对英语课的兴趣; (2)英语课上的主动性积极性的重要性; (3)英语教学的交际特点; (4)师生关系对英语教学的妨碍; (5)在课堂教学中师生的角色与作用; (6)你心目中的英语教师。统计分析如下: 一、学习兴趣对发挥主动性、积极性的妨碍事情 类型: 百分比% 喜欢90 29 普通150 49 别喜欢70 22 总310 100 从上表能够看出,喜欢上英语课的和别喜欢的比例基本持平,中间部分比例较大,呈两极分化态势。说明学生对待英语课的态度观点鲜亮,它直接妨碍到课堂教学效果。 学生们喜欢英语课的原因要紧有:认为英语课很重要,是新世纪的需要;当前就业的通行证;喜欢接触新事物。 别喜欢英语课的原因,按教师和学生自身因素从两方面分析:(一)老师因素:现今教学传授知识的手段是“灌"。并没有带动学生去感觉英语,教会其学习办法。教学步骤公式化,课堂上说得多,让学生参与的少,致使学生被动同意,思维别活跃。 (二)学生自身因素:本身英语基础不行。学得越多,越听疑惑、记别住,丧失信心,从而对老师及其所教内容产生恐怖厌烦心理。 二、学生对课堂上老师调动其主动性、积极性,重要性的认识 从调查结果显示,百分之九十以上的学生可以认识到课堂上主动性积极性的调动与发挥是极其重要的。因为学习是自已的事,不管教师说得多么好,别调动学生学习的积极性,是不管怎么也学不行的。学生是学习的主人,惟独充分发挥学生的主观能动作用,学生才会乐意攻读,积极思维,主动进取。 三、学生怎么看待交际能力这一英语教学要紧用途 调查咨询卷的统计结果表明,百分之八十以上的学生认为培养英语交际能力是学习的最要紧目的。因为语言是交际的工具,学习语言是为了互相沟通、了解,算是为了交际。 四、学生对师生关系妨碍教学的意见 这一调查数字是出乎意料又是合乎情理的。几乎百分之百的学生特别看重师生关系,认为它的好坏对教学效果有直接妨碍。这一结果与平时看似冷淡的师生共处场面截然相反。由此可见教与学并别只在课堂短短的四十分钟和别大的教室内发生作用,它远远超出了这一范围,涉及课下的方方面面诸多因素,教师的人格魅力也起着举脚轻重的作用。学生们为搞好师生关系提了很多有效的建议。摘录如下: 以诚相待,对学生像朋友,别摆架子,有时开开玩笑,给学生们以亲切感;利用课间、
