供应链融资:优化供应链的资金流动外文翻译外文题目:Supply chain finance: optimizing financial flows in supply chains出处:Springer-Verlag 2009作者:Hans-Christian PfohlMoritz Gomm原文:Supply chain finance: optimizing financial flows in supply chains AbstractIssues related to flows of goods and information are frequently discussed in the logistics and Supply Chain Management literature. But, only few contributions are exploring the financial flows associated with supply chains. This article reviews the state-of-the-art of research regarding financial flows in supply chains. In doing so, it becomes apparent that an explicit examination and optimisation of the cost of capital has been missing so far. In order to close this gap, a conceptual framework and a mathematical model of ‘‘Supply Chain Finance’’ is proposed1.Supply chain finance?research gapSupply chain management SCM is applied in today’s business world to optimise the flows of goods, information, and the financial flows within and between companies by functional and cross-companyintegration.1 In the past, academic papers regarding SCM mainly dealt with the design and optimisation of the flows of goods and information.The financial flows between companies of the supply chain, however, were often neglected and have only recently found greater attention in the academic SCM literature.This paper analyses the role of financial flows in supply chains and the impact SCM can have on optimising such flows in terms of capital cost. A framework for the financial aspects of SCM is developed. Furthermore, a mathematical model is proposed to explain financing activities across supply chains, which are referred to as ‘‘supply chain financing’’ SCF. The basic idea of the model is that supply chain information can be used to decrease investment risks and thus capital costs of financing projects within supply chains.First, in this paper, supply chain flows are analysed, and the role of financial aspects are discussed on the basis of a preliminary review of related literature. It is shown that the cost of capital in supply chains has been mostly neglected so far. The following part of the discussion Sect. 3 proposes a supply chain finance framework. It covers the objects, actors, and levers of supply chain financing. Finally, in part 4, a mathematical model is developed to better understand to what extent financial SCM can contribute in decreasing the capital costs. The paper closes with a discussion of the results.2. Literature review on financial flows in SCMSupply chain management is an interdisciplinary management concept which is based on the idea of holistic optimisation of the various flows constituting a supply chain.There are numerous suggestions about the kinds and levels of flows to be considered in the literature. Pfohl distinguishes between flows of information, rights, goods and financial flows. Croom et al.differentiate between goods, financial resources, human resources, information, knowledge, and technologies as ‘‘elements of exchange’’. Cooperet al. include the flows of material, goods, and information in one direction, and reverse flows of information and financial resources. Mentzer et al. consider products, services, information, financial resources, information about demand, and forec asts as ‘‘supply chain flows’’ With respect to the range of activities covered in SCM, the logistics channel as well as the marketing channel are usually considered, i.e. the channel of interaction of a company with its sources of supply and sales markets. For the purposes of this discussion, the relevant fabric of flows is summed up under the notions of the flow of goods,the flow of information, and the financial flow, as shown in Fig. 1 Reviewing the academic contributions on SCM regarding the optimisation of financial flows, again a number of different approaches are found. Pfohl et al. denominate the flow of financial resources as the ‘‘financial supply chain’’ and locate the latter atthe interface between the fields of logistics and finance. They examine the management of the net current assets as an important issue within the scope of SCM. Beyond the optimisation of the flow of goods with a focus on the physical reduction in stocks, they analyse the instruments of cash management As primary levers for management, they consider optimal timing of activities, the control of receivables, liabilities, and advance payments. Moreover, the optimisation and support of the inventory and cash managements are described within the scope of process managementStemmler and Seuring were amongst the first authors to use the term ‘‘supply chain finance’’. They speak of the control and optimisation of financial flows induced by logistics. Logistically induced financial processes comprise inventory management, the handling of the logistically induced financial flows as well as the supporting processes with an immediate reference to logistics as, for example, the insurance management for stocks.Another approach to the optimisation of financial flows within supply ch ains is ‘‘logistics financing’’ as defined by Stenzel: the ‘‘[…] active marketing of financial services in addition to logistics services by logistics service providers.’’ This opens up another field of competence for logistics service providers within the scope of financing logistics structures. In this context, Steinmu¨ llerexamines possibilities to finance logistics real estate and Feinen particularlydeals with the leasing of logistics real estates. The term ‘‘Financial Chain Management FCM’’, which is also used in the context of financial flow research, has to be seen in contrast to the term supply chain finance. The former has particularly come to be known in literature and practice in connection to software products by SAP AG and is defined as the sum of the ‘‘financial flows in and across companies’’. The processes that have to be managed by the FCM are thus reduced to the processing steps of the business initiation and business transaction processes. FCM is supposed to optimize cross-company financial processes using collaborative and automatic transactions between suppliers, customers as well as financial and logistics service providers. Consequently, a decisive role is attributed to information and communication technology, so that mainly the flows of information or documents are affected. A common ground for the contributions in the literature is the focus on the financial impact of SCM upon the value chain in terms of inventory, process, and cash management or by means of synchronisation and collaboration. These variables affect the free cash flow of each company involved by increased sales or decreased costs as well as the cost of capital by reduced assets. The explicit consideration of the influence of SCM measures on the capital cost rate, however, has been lacking so far cf. Fig. 2. Considering the growing importance of value orientation in management, this is methodically as well as practically critical sincethe capital costs are determined by the assets to be financed and the capital cost rate. This reveals a gap in research, which this paper targets at: how can SCM contribute to decrease the capital costs in terms of the capital cost rate.The following part of the argument examine how the supply chain of a company can contribute to more costeffective financing. Inter-company financing within the supply chain is called ‘‘supply chain finance’’ and is defined here as: Supply chain finance SCF is the inter-company optimisation of financing as well as the integration of financing processes with customers, suppliers, and service providers in order to increase the value of all participating companies. The task of SCF is to save capital cost by means of better mutual adjustment or completely new financing concepts within the supply chain?eventually in combination with a changed role or task sharing. In order to substantiate this term, a conceptual framework will be developed in the following 3 A conceptual framework of supply chain financeIn order to conceptualise the term supply chain finance, it has to be examined which assets objects within a supply chain are actually financed by whom actors and on whatterms levers. These three dimensions add up to the framework of the supply chain finance译文:供应链融资:优化供应链的资金流动摘要有关货物和信息流的问题经常在物流与供应链管理的文献中讨论。

背诵为王和新概念英语

背诵为王和新概念英语Recitation has long been regarded as a cornerstone of language learning, particularly in the realm of foreign language acquisition. The practice of committing texts, dialogues, or even entire passages to memory has been a time-honored tradition in education, as it has been believed to enhance language proficiency, improve pronunciation, and foster a deeper understanding of the target language. In the context of English language learning, the concept of "Recitation as the King" has gained significant traction, particularly in the realm of traditional Chinese education.The notion of "Recitation as the King" is rooted in the belief that the systematic and diligent practice of recitation is the most effective way to master the English language. Proponents of this approach argue that by repeatedly reciting and memorizing English texts, learners can internalize the language's grammar, vocabulary, and idiomatic expressions, ultimately developing a more natural and fluent command of the language.One of the key advantages of the recitation-based approach is itsemphasis on developing a strong foundation in the language. Through the process of recitation, learners are exposed to a wide range of linguistic structures, vocabulary, and patterns, which they can then draw upon and apply in their own language production. This repetitive practice not only helps to solidify the learner's understanding of the language but also enhances their ability to recall and use the language in various contexts.Moreover, the act of recitation has been shown to have a positive impact on pronunciation and intonation. By carefully articulating and repeating the words and phrases of the target language, learners can develop a more accurate and natural-sounding pronunciation, which is crucial for effective communication.In contrast to the traditional recitation-based approach, the emergence of "New Concept English" has introduced a more communicative and interactive approach to language learning. This method emphasizes the importance of practical language use, focusing on developing the learner's ability to engage in real-life conversations and scenarios, rather than solely relying on the memorization of language structures.The New Concept English approach is based on the premise that language is a tool for communication, and that the ultimate goal of language learning should be to enable learners to effectively expressthemselves and understand others in a variety of contexts. This approach encourages learners to actively participate in dialogues, role-play, and other interactive activities, which helps to develop their communicative competence and confidence.One of the key advantages of the New Concept English approach is its ability to engage learners and make the learning process more enjoyable and meaningful. By focusing on practical language use and real-world scenarios, learners are more likely to stay motivated and interested in the learning process, as they can see the immediate application and relevance of what they are learning.Moreover, the New Concept English approach emphasizes the importance of developing a well-rounded understanding of the language, including its cultural and social nuances. By exposing learners to authentic language use and cultural contexts, this method helps to foster a deeper appreciation and understanding of the target language and its associated cultural traditions.Despite the apparent differences between the recitation-based approach and the New Concept English approach, there is a growing recognition that a balanced and integrated approach to language learning can be the most effective. Many educators and language experts now advocate for a hybrid approach that combines the strengths of both methods, allowing learners to benefit from thesolid foundation provided by recitation while also developing their communicative competence through interactive and practical language use.In this hybrid approach, learners may begin their language learning journey by engaging in systematic recitation of key texts, dialogues, and language patterns. This foundational work can then be supplemented by more communicative and interactive activities, such as role-play, discussions, and task-based learning. By integrating these two complementary approaches, learners can develop a well-rounded and versatile command of the English language, capable of both accurate language production and effective communication.In conclusion, the debate between "Recitation as the King" and "New Concept English" highlights the ongoing evolution and diversity of language learning methodologies. While these two approaches may appear to be at odds, they both have valuable contributions to make in the quest for effective language acquisition. By embracing a balanced and integrated approach that combines the strengths of both methods, language learners can embark on a journey of linguistic mastery that is both rigorous and rewarding, ultimately empowering them to communicate with confidence and clarity in the global arena.。

Some teachers teach reading by introducing new vocabulary and new structuresfirst and then going over the text sentence by sentence. This is followed by some questions and answers and reading aloud practice. This way of teaching reading reflects the belief that reading comprehension is based on the understanding and mastery of all the new words, new phrases, and new structures as well as a lot of reading aloud practice. Also, this reading follows a linear process from the recognition of letters, to words, to phrases, to sentences, to paragraphs, and then to the meaning of the whole text.2. 1) Knowing a word means knowing its pronunciation and stress; 2) knowing a word means knowing its spelling and grammatical properties; 3) knowing a word means knowing its meaning; 4) knowing a word mean knowing how and when to use it to express the intended meaning.3. Watson and Raynor formulated a stimulus-response theory of psychology, in which all complex forms of behavior are seen as composed of simple muscular and glandular elements that can be observed and measured. They claimed that emotional reactions are learned in much the same way as other skills. The key point of the theory of conditioning is that “you can train an animal to do anything if you follow a certain procedure which has three major stages, stimulus, response, and reinforcement.Based on the theory of conditioning, Skinner suggested language is also a form of behavior. It can be learned the same way as an animal is trained to respond to stimuli. This theory of learning is referred to as behaviorism.4. They have a clear purpose in reading;read silently;read phrase by phrase,rather than word by word;concertrate on the important bits,skim the rest,and skip the insignificant parts;use different speeds and strategies for different reading tasks; perceive the information in the target language rather than mentally translate; guess the meaning of new words from the context, or ignore them; have and use background information to help understand the text.5. W hat’s the cognitive theory of language learning?According to Chomsky, language is not a form of behavior, it is an intricate rule-based system and a large part of language acquisition is the learning of this system. There are a finite number of grammatical rules in the system and with a knowledge of these rules an infinite number of sentences can be produced. A language learner acquires language competence, which enables him to produce language. Though Chomsky’s theory is not direc tly applied in language teaching, it has had a great impact on the profession. One influential idea is that students should be allowed to create their own sentences based on their understanding of certain rules.6. What are the features of communicative language teaching?Based on the concept of communicative competence and aiming at developing such competence, communicative language teaching has the following features:1) It stresses the need to allow students opportunities for authentic and creative use of the language.2) It focuses on meaning rather than form.3) It suggests that learning should be relevant to the needs of the students.4) It advocates task-based language teaching. Students should be given tasks toperform or problems to solve in the classroom.5) It emphasizes a functional approach to language learning. Also, to be competent in the target language, learners should acquire not only linguistic knowledge, but also the culture of that language.7. What are the three steps in helping learners learn to use resources according to Ryan ?The first step is a consciousness-raising discussion of available resources. The teacher can ask the students to discuss and share what resources they use to extend learning outside the classroom. Then the teacher will model by presenting and practicing some techniques to exploit resources: gathering information from newspapers in readily understandable form or using photos and names in headline to predict the contents of articles. Finally, the teacher can introduce the theoretical assumptions underlying the selection of resources and techniques.8. What are the seven intelligences proposed by Gardner? Can you explain them briefly?Verbal/Linguistic Intelligence: the ability to use words effectively, both orally and in writing.Musical Intelligence: sensitivity to rhythm, pitch, and melody.Logical/Mathematical Intelligence: the ability to use numbers effectively and reasons as well.Spatial/Visual Intelligence: sensitivity to form, space, color, line, and shape. Bodily/Kinesthetic Intelligence: the ability to use the body to express ideas and feelings, and to solve problems.Interpersonal Intelligence: the ability to understand another person’s mood, feelings, motivation, and intentions.Intrapersonal Intelligence: the ability to understand yourself, your strength, weakness, moods, desires, and intentions.9. What are the measures for indisciplined acts and badly behaving students suggested by Harmer?1) Act immediately. If possible, indisciplined acts should be immediately stopped so that less damages is caused. The longer a disciplined problem is left unchecked, the more difficult it is to taken action.2) Stop the class. If the discipline is so disruptive as to hinder the progress of the whole class, the teacher should stop the class and make it clear what is wrong.3) Rearrange the seats. If troublesome students are sitting together, the teacher should separate them. Besides, if students are moved to the front of the class they may behave better.4) Change the activity. If the class seems to be getting out of control, or if indiscipline occurs due to inappropriacy of the activity, a change of activity will often restore the class.5) Talk to students after class. If a student is continually making trouble, the teacher should talk to that student after class. The student should be given a chance to explain why he/she behaves in this way.6) Use the instruction. When problems become extreme it will be necessary to usethe institution—the school or institute—to solve the problem.。

Unit 2 Communicative Principles and Activities10. The ultimate goal of foreign language teaching is to enable thestudents to use the foreign language in work or life when necessary. 11. The goal of CLTThe goal of CLT is to develop students' communicative competence,12. Communicative competence:Competence simply means knowledge of the language system:grammatical knowledge in other words.13. Hymes (1979), communicative competence includes four aspects: 1) knowing whether something is formally possible (grammaticallyacceptable), which is roughly equivalent to Chomsky's linguisticcompetence交流内容是否规范2) knowing whether something is understandable to human beings;3) knowing whether something is in line with与、、、有关social norms;4) knowing whether something is in fact done: Do people actually use language this way?14. Based on the concept of communicative competence and aiming at developing such competence, communicative language teaching has the following features:1) It stresses the need to allow students opportunities for authentic andcreative use of the language.2) It focuses on meaning rather than form.3) It suggests that learning should be relevant to the needs of the students.4) It advocates提倡task-based language teaching. Students should begiven tasks to perform or problems to solve in the classroom.5) It emphasizes a functional approach to language learning (i.e. whatpeople do with language,such as inviting, apologizing, greeting and introducing, etc.).15. Richards and Rodgers(1986:72)three principles of Communicative language teaching1) Communication principle: Activities that involve real communication promote learning.2) Task principle: Activities in which language is used for carrying outmeaningful task promote learning.3) Meaningfulness principle: Language that is meaningful to the learnersupports he learning process.16. Littlewood’s (1981)classification of communicative activities:1). Functional communicative activities:2). Social interaction activities:(1).

This fundamental responsibility encompasses a wide range of tasks and obligations that form the backbone of a well-functioning armed force. From the meticulous maintenance of equipment to the rigorous training of personnel, every aspect of a soldier's duty is designed to ensure the readiness and effectiveness of the military in the face of any challenge.At the heart of primary duty lies the principle of discipline. Soldiers are expected to adhere to a strict code of conduct, upholding the values and traditions that have guided military organizations for centuries. This discipline is not merely a matter of blind obedience, but rather a deep-seated understanding of the importance of order, hierarchy, and the collective well-being of the unit. It is this discipline that allows soldiers to operate seamlessly as a cohesive force, ready to respond to any situation with precision and decisiveness.One of the key components of primary duty is the meticulous maintenance of equipment. Soldiers are tasked with ensuring that every piece of gear, from weapons to vehicles, is in perfect working order. This requires a keen eye for detail, a thorough understanding of the equipment's functionality, and a dedication to preventive maintenance. By meticulously caring for their equipment, soldiers not only enhance the operational readiness of their unit but also demonstrate a sense of ownership and pride in their duties.In addition to equipment maintenance, primary duty also encompasses the rigorous training of personnel. Soldiers must be prepared to face a wide range of challenges, from combat operations to humanitarian relief efforts. This training regimen, which often includes physical fitness exercises, weapons handling, and scenario-based simulations, is designed to develop the skills and resilience necessary to respond effectively in any situation. By investing in this comprehensive training, soldiers are able to build the confidence and competence required to fulfill their primary duty with unwavering commitment.Another critical aspect of primary duty is the maintenance of discipline and order within the ranks. Soldiers are expected to adhere to a strict set of rules and regulations, which govern everything from personal conduct to the execution of orders. This adherence toprotocol is not merely a matter of compliance, but rather a reflection of the soldier's understanding of the importance of cohesion and unity within the military. By upholding these standards, soldiers contribute to the overall effectiveness and morale of their unit, ensuring that the organization is well-equipped to meet any challenge.Beyond the day-to-day responsibilities of equipment maintenance, training, and discipline, primary duty also encompasses a broader commitment to the well-being of the nation and its citizens. Soldiers are often called upon to respond to natural disasters, humanitarian crises, and other emergencies, using their skills and resources to provide relief and support to those in need. This aspect of primary duty reflects the military's role as a vital component of the broader social fabric, serving as a source of stability and resilience in times of crisis.Ultimately, the concept of primary duty is a testament to the selfless dedication and unwavering commitment of the men and women who serve in the armed forces. It is a duty that extends far beyond the confines of a military base or the battlefield, encompassing a deep-rooted sense of responsibility to one's country, one's comrades, and the well-being of all those who depend on the military's steadfast protection. Through the consistent and exemplary fulfillment of this primary duty, soldiers uphold the ideals of service,sacrifice, and the unwavering pursuit of excellence that have defined the military's role throughout history.。

知识与文凭的英语作文Title: The Significance of Knowledge versus Degrees。

In the contemporary landscape of education and career pursuits, a debate rages on regarding the relative importance of knowledge and academic credentials. While degrees symbolize a certain level of achievement and expertise, knowledge transcends the confines of formal education, encompassing practical skills, critical thinking, and experiential learning. This essay delves into the nuanced relationship between knowledge and degrees,exploring their respective merits and implications intoday's society.Firstly, let us examine the concept of knowledge. Knowledge is the accumulation of information, skills, and understanding acquired through learning, observation, and experience. It encompasses a broad spectrum of disciplines, ranging from the sciences and humanities to technicalskills and interpersonal competencies. Unlike degrees,which are often standardized and structured, knowledge is dynamic and adaptable, evolving with time and context.One of the key advantages of knowledge lies in its practical utility. While degrees provide a foundational framework for learning, knowledge empowers individuals to apply theoretical concepts to real-world scenarios. For example, a computer science graduate may possess a degree certifying their proficiency in programming languages, but it is their practical knowledge and problem-solving abilities that enable them to develop innovative software solutions.Moreover, knowledge fosters critical thinking and creativity, attributes that are increasingly valued in today's knowledge-based economy. In a rapidly changing world, the ability to think critically, adapt to new challenges, and innovate is often more valuable than a static set of qualifications. This is particularly evident in industries such as technology and entrepreneurship, where disruptive innovation is driven by individuals who possess deep domain knowledge coupled with a capacity forcreative thinking.On the other hand, degrees serve as tangible markers of academic achievement and expertise within a specific field. In many professions, such as medicine, law, and engineering, formal credentials are prerequisites for entry and advancement. Degrees provide a structured pathway for acquiring specialized knowledge and skills, often validated through rigorous examination and assessment processes.Furthermore, degrees confer a certain level ofcredibility and recognition within society. Employers may use degrees as screening criteria to assess thequalifications of job applicants, viewing them asindicators of competence and commitment. Additionally, degrees can enhance one's earning potential, as individuals with higher levels of education tend to command higher salaries on average.However, it is essential to recognize the limitationsof degrees as sole determinants of success. In today's competitive job market, employers increasingly prioritizeskills and experience over academic qualifications alone. A study by the World Economic Forum found that by 2022, over half of all employees would require significant upskilling or reskilling to meet the demands of emerging job roles.In conclusion, while degrees remain important markers of academic achievement and professional credentials, they are not synonymous with knowledge. Knowledge encompasses a broader spectrum of skills, including practical experience, critical thinking, and creativity, which are essential for success in the modern world. As individuals navigate their educational and career pathways, they must strive to cultivate both knowledge and degrees, recognizing the unique value that each brings to their personal and professional development.。

The Concept of Key Competence and Its Implementation in English Teaching作者:杨建雄来源:《校园英语·中旬》2017年第08期【Abstracts】This paper analyzes the concept of key competence defined by different international organizations and countries, points out the parallel between the Western key competence and the Chinese “all-round personality”, and then explores how to reform English teaching in terms of curriculum design, course arrangement and classroom teaching so as to foster key competence in students, or in other words, nurture all-round personality of students.【Key words】key competence; components; all-round personality; English teaching【摘要】本论文通过分析不同国际组织和国家给“核心素养”下的定义而界定了该术语的概念,指出了西方的“核心素养”与我国的“素质型人才”之间的相似之处,并进而探索了如何在课程方案设计、课程内容设置和课堂教学方法等方面进行英语教学改革的问题,以达到培养核心素养的目的。

【关键词】核心素养成分素质型人才英语教学I. IntroductionNowadays, the new task education faces is how to improve the quality of education to cultivate innovative talents. The best way to cultivate innovative talents is to devel op something known as “key competence” in every discipline as well as nationwide. At the beginning of the 21st century, the EU introduced the lifelong learning strategy in the field of education and training, and put forward the concept of “key competence”. It has since become a reference framework underlying all education goals and policies, and has subsequently triggered curriculum reforms in all EU Member States.Although China’s research into key competence is still in its infancy, in recent yea rs China’s education policies have been emphasizing the building of a national character marked by fine qualities and the cultivation of students’ innovativeness. The National Long-term Education Reform and Development Plan (2010-2020) designates human-centeredness and nurturing of all-round personality as two major goals of education reform so that students can get all-round development. It can be seen that China’s education reform pursues exactly what EU calls key competence (Dun Ji’an, 2015:44-47).II. The Definition of Key CompetenceWhat is key competence? Many countries are now referring to the framework laid down by the OECD project as key competence,EU’s lifelong learning objective.The research into key competence sponsored by international organizations has been going on for quite some years. The OECD project and EU’s formulation of “lifelong learning key competence” are but a few examples (Chang Shanshan et al, 2015:29-32). Besides, the UNESCO published a report entitled “T o life-long learning –what children should learn”. The OECD-financed project proposes three primary components of key competence and nine secondary components. The EU lists eight elements of lifelong learning key competence. Following the humanist tradition, the UNESCO sets forth a model of seven constituents of key competences.When we compare findings of the OECD-financed project,the EU’s eight elements of key competence and UNESCO’s seven constituents of key competence, it is not difficult to find that they actually have many shared features. They all embody the idea that knowledge shouldn’t be the only pursuit of education. It should be combined with skills, attitudes and morality, etc. to turn out graduates of all-round personality. In addition to the aforesaid studies into key competence, the United States, and some other countries have also developed the content and structure of key competence suitable for education in their native countries. The major qualities of the key competence defined by the United States are called “21st-century competence”. After the framework of “21st-century competence” was formulated, the United States kept updating and refining it until it includes the core curriculum, necessary themes and three major skill areas.III. Proposals about Curriculum Design, Course Arrangement and Classroom Teaching to Foster Key CompetenceChina’s current “Compulsory Education English Curriculum Standards (2011)” (“Standards”) points out that English courses in compulsory education have both instrumental and humanist functions. The “Standards” emphasizes the learning process and integration of all language skills. This is consistent with the concept of key competence. Namely, knowledge, skills, ability and emotional attitude should all be taken into consideration in the education process. Now that English courses are no longer a mere means to facilitate students’ second language acquisition, new course design guidelines are needed.3.1 Two urgent tasks in curriculum designThe two urgent tasks in curriculum design are defining the disciplinary aspect of key competence and integrating different discipline-related key competence in students.Experiences gained through international curriculum design indicate that there are two basic relations between the curriculum and students’ key competence. That is to say, first, each course has the responsibility of cultivating one aspect of students’ key competence. Second, differentcourses have different contri butions to the nurture of students’ overall key competence. Therefore,when we design English courses aiming at attainment of students’ key competence, the primary task is to pin down the key competence components inherent in the discipline. In other words, while designing the curriculum, imparting knowledge is not the only concern. Simultaneously, ability,morality and attitude should also be put on the list for consideration.It is now widely accepted that when students are taught a foreign language,they shouldn’t learn grammar alone. Their communicative competence depends on their command and integration of many different language skills. The famous linguist Hedge proposed five parts of the communicative competence: linguistic competence, pragmatic competence, discourse competence, strategic competence and fluency (Wang Qiang, 2006: 17).3.2 An important principle in course arrangementThe important principle in course arrangement is interdisciplinary teaching, which means to combine resources from different disciplines in one course so that intra-disciplinary resources are interwoven to form a network of teaching resources to integrate different aspects of key competence in students.Take primary education for example, in C hina’s middle schools, Chinese, math, foreign languages and so on are the dominant traditional curriculum items. Generally speaking, different disciplines will tap and train different faculties of students, and each course develops a corresponding aspect o f students’ key competence. Various disciplines overlap with each other in imparting knowledge and training skills, and they will complement and supplement one another in cultivating students’ key competence. Therefore, complementary teaching across disciplines will be an effective way to develop students’ key competence, and with this in mind, a breakthrough will be made in the innovation of course design. Computer-aided teaching and MOOC online learning are just a few cases in point. This interweavement of disciplinary resources will not only stimulate students’ interest in learning, but will, above all, integrate different aspects of key competence in students.3.3 Reform of classroom teaching methodsTeacher’s teaching efficiency and student’s learning effect are both dependent on the teaching approach and classroom teaching methods. Classroom teaching methods should also be subjected to reform. While planning teaching tasks,teachers should try to develop students’ self-learning ability. To do so, a single teaching method is far from being enough. L2 teachers are advised to adopt the communicative teaching approach to the design of classroom activities. Thus teachers can effectively cultivate students’ independent thinking and explorative disposition.If we want to cultivate students’ key competence, it is necessary for us to form a consistent,long-term teaching goal, and march toward that goal by reforming not only curriculum design and course arrangement but also classroom teaching methods.IV. ConclusionNowadays, the concept of key competence has become the DNA of global education reform and almost all countries adopt this concept as a guideline for their reform in curriculum design,teaching material compilation, course arrangement and classroom teaching.How to cultivate students’ key competence through school education is an issue of paramount importance facing all educators, school management and teachers alike. It sets off an enormous wave of education reform and English teaching is certainly affected first and foremost, as the concept came from Western countries. Now the immediate task facing researchers and teachers of English in China is to integrate the Western concept of key competence and the Chinese image of all-round personality based on more insightful interpretation of these two terms. Thus new Western discoveries in theory and application of key competence can be introduced into China and employed as springboards for China’s further education reform.References:[1]顿继安(Dun Ji’an).基于核心素养的数学教学:基础、挑战与对策[J].中小学教材教学,2015,09:44-47.[2]常珊珊(Chang Shanshan),李家清.课程改革深化背景下的核心素养体系构建[J].课程.教材.教法,2015,09:29-32.[3]王蔷(Wang Qiang).A Course in English Language Teaching.英语教学法教程[M].高等教育出版社,2006,06:18-19.。
