英语新闻主题教学模式研究

A study on the mode of teaching theme-based English news

本文尝试设计出一种以主题为中心，以学生为主体，由“输入”到“输出”的英语新闻教学模式。该模式让学生围绕题材熟悉的英语新闻主题进行读(以国内英语新闻报导为主)、说和写的活动。研究采用定量研究和定性研究相结合的方法，研究结果显示：(1)以主题为中心的英语新闻教学有利于提高学生的理解能力(听和读)与输出能力(尤其是口语技能的提高)；(2)学习者的外语学习观念与情感有了积极的变化，学习动机得以激发，学习方法得以改进。

The present study designs a mode of teaching theme-based English news, in which students as the center of teaching firstly accept a great amount of input by reading theme-related, familiar English news, and then engage themselves in language output through speaking and writing activities. Both quantitative and qualitative methods have been adopted in the study. The results show that theme-based English news teaching mode 1) can positively improve learners' listening, reading and speaking skills; 2) can positively affect learners' learning habits and affection with their motivation stimulated and learning strategies improved.
