摘要
传统的托福词汇在线课程在内容、形式和流程上的设计难以有效解决备考生在学习过程中遇到的学习资源与目的不匹配,指导方法缺失、学习兴趣调动不足的问题。通过访谈与问卷本研究探索了学习者在听力与阅读学科背景知识及词汇、阅读和写作中的近义词辨析与写作高分词的应用需求,结合需求通过拍摄和重新编辑开源资源的方式构建了微课资源库。通过北京一所国际学校的教学实验检验了本研究的设计与实施。实验表明,该设计方案下的托福词汇微课能在短期内有效提高学习者的托福词汇水平和词汇应用技巧,同时能在一定程度上激发其学习的主动性。
Currently available online TOEFL vocabulary lectures are not able to address the problems students encounter during their learning process:mismatching between targets and learning resources,lacking of methodological guidance,and insufficient motivation.Through surveys and interviews this research examines learners’ strong demands in understanding the background knowledge of subject vocabulary,recognizing synonyms in reading and writing,and applying high-level vocabulary in writing.A set of Micro-lectures focusing on these demands are constructed through independent video-shooting as well as re-editing of open source resources.Teaching experiment at a Beijing international school is conducted to testify the design and implementation of the proposed micro-lectures.Results showsignificant improvements in learners’ TOEFL vocabulary,application skills,and to some extent stronger motivation.
