Ecological Language Teaching

As early as the middle 1970s ,theories and rules of ecology hadattracted much attention in the educational field .After comprehensiveexploration ,ecology of education has developed into a completetheoretical system providing new approaches for Chineseeducation .However ,it's a long way to further research into theories ofecologized Chinese teaching and put them into practice .This thesisattempts to solve some problems in Chinese teaching and improve theefficiency of it by researching and exploiting ecologized Chineseteaching .Theories and rules of ecology are employed together with itslatest concepts and cultural teaching practice.The thesis consists of 4 parts .Part one :Background of ecologizedChinese teaching .Ecologized Chinese teaching derives from ecology ofeducation and gets some implications of it . As social practice toreconstruct Chinese teaching itself as nature it has something in commonwith ecology .First ,Chinese teaching also has such characteristics ofecology as systematic ,balanced and connected . Second ,they both focuson the living conditions and development of human beings .Part two :The new concepts ecologized Chinese teaching issupposed to be endued with .Teaching activities are determined byeducational concepts .These new concepts include view of teaching forliving ,of communicative teaching and of comprehensive teaching .Chinese education should be education of living ,the essence of whichis spiritual construction .It should focus on the study of students'spiritualliving ,and regard learning as a process of their spontaneous spiritualgrowth .This point of view is the key of teaching for living .Only when thestudents become their own masters ,can they survive and develop naturallyand genuinely .Chinese teaching should attach its attention to the students'whole life and reinforce their sense toward future . Chinese teaching is interactive practice between student andteachers .Communicative teaching emphasizes the new interactiverelationship between the 2 sides .Interaction is the basic feature ofcommunicative teaching ,in the course of which teachers should have thesense of equality and open mind . Chinese teaching system is a whole ,of which teaching contents are anindependent part ;teachers and students are unattached aswell .Therefore ,Chinese teaching should be comprehensive .It shouldhighlight comprehension and experiences ,and meantime adoptcomprehensive evaluation . Part three :Ecologized Chinese teaching resources .Chinese teachingresources are not only the major factor and input element of the teachingecological system ,but also the important guarantee of the comprehensiveteaching function .Chinese teaching resources have twocharacteristics :diversity and movable growth .The development andutilization of Chinese teaching resources should mainly be carried out inboth objectified and subjective resources .The objectified resources mainlyinclude natural resources ,social resources and humanist resources ,whilesubjective resources mainly include the resources of students and those ofteachers . Part four:The principles of ecologized Chinese teaching. Theecologized Chinese teaching process will be carried out success fully onthe condition that it is suitable for the objective principle of ecologizededucation ,and the basic requirement and the standard followed in theprocess of teaching should be studied and grasped .The principles are :I.natural principle .That is ,students should not be restrained by outsideforces ,and the inner rule ,the potential and the possibility of their owndevelopment should be taken into account ."The environment should suitthe tree to make it grow well ."Do something that is appropriate and avoiddoing what is inappropriate. II. Optimal principle .That is ,to incorporateand collocate sorts of teaching elements ,putting every element to its bestuse to optimize teaching effects . In short ,based on the studies of other people ,this thesis not onlyanalyses the relationship between the ecological environment of educationand Chinese teaching but also consolidates various theories and adoptsadvantages of every theory .It makes the principles of educational ecologypermeate through the whole range of Chinese teaching process ,and puts...
