British Commonwealth
Βιβλιοθήκη The Commonwealth of Nations, usually known as the Commonwealth, is a voluntary association of 53 independent sovereign states, most of which are former British colonies, or dependencies of these colonies (the exceptions being the United Kingdom itself and Mozambique). No single government in the Commonwealth, British or otherwise, exercises power over the others, as in a political union. Rather, the relationship is one of an international organisation through which countries with diverse social, political, and economic backgrounds are regarded as equal in status, and co-operate within a framework of common values and goals

教育社会学基础09第九章——班级的人际关系:班级、互动与学风
核心概念 班级与班集 体班级文化与班级功能 小群体与地位分化 班级文化与学风
研究主题 班级对学生社会化的功能 班级成员的地位分化
班级中人际冲突的发生和协调 班级文化建设
第一节班级是学生社会化最重要的正式群体
从社会学的角度研究班级的性质、结构、人际关系和社 会功能等内容,产生于20世纪五六十年代。1959年,结 构功能主义社会学代表人物、美国社会学家帕森斯在《哈 佛教育评论》上发表《作为社会系统的学校班级:它在美 国社会中的某些功能》,最早将班级作为一种社会系统来 研究。帕森斯运用社会学观点论述了班级社会系统的概念、 特征、条件及功能。在后续的研究中,除了将班级作为一 种社会系统进行研究外,有学者认为班级应该是一种社会 组织,还有学者将班级视为一种社会初级群体。把班级看 作什么,即研究班级的社会属性是什么,是开展班级社会 学研究的首要问题。
关于班级社会属性的三种主要观点(1)
观点 人物
判断依据
研究内容
班级是一 种特殊的 社会系统
美国学者 帕森斯
班级中存在两个或两个以上人 群的交互作用; 发生交互作用的行动者都处于 社会情境之中; 行动者之间存在规范及和谐的 认知期待,通常具有某些相互 依存的一致性行为表现
班级功能的研究: 社会化功能和筛 选功能; 班级社会行为模 式理论; 班级师生互动模 式理论

大学英语拓展课《美国社会与文化》教学大纲
大学英语拓展课《美国社会与文化》教学大纲课程名称:美国社会与文化课程代码:学分总学时:开课单位:外国语学院授课对象:非英语专业大二本科生一、课程的性质、任务和特色美国社会与文化是大学英语拓展课程,本课程面向二年级已经通过四级或六级的学生开设,旨在满足学生更高的学习需求。
已经过了四、六级的大学生,原有的教材和教学模式已经不能满足他们的需求。
大学英语拓展课程的开设已经成为必然,拓展课程包括英语国家社会与文化、奥斯卡影视欣赏、外贸口语、翻译、写作等等,美国社会与文化课程是整个拓展课程群的重要组成部分。
本课程的主要内容涵盖美国地理、历史、政治、经济、文化、教育等多层面内容,既有表面现象的了解,又有内在原因的分析。
本课程以教师自制教材为主,补充电影报刊及网络资源等多媒体材料,旨在通过阅读英语文字材料和观看英文影像资料,然后讨论并解决问题的方式让学生对美国的社会历史、生活习俗和风土人情有一个直观的印象。
使学生在欣赏了解的同时,联系社会历史原因进行分析,培养兴趣,开拓视野,提高英语和跨文化学习水平。
本课程教学任务为:了解美国社会与文化的基本特点;掌握美国概况的基础知识;理解中美文化差异和不同的文化价值观念;掌握相关社会历史背景知识;提高英语语言技能;培养跨文化言语交际和非言语交际意识。
本课程的特色:(1)拓展学生的英语知识。
本课程配合全新版大学英语三、四册使用,基于整个大学英语教学大纲和课程要求。
学生阅读英语文字书面及网络材料和观看英文影像资料,是一个资源输入的过程,通过讨论来解决问题,和中间及最后的考查和考试就是资源输出的过程。
前一个过程重点培养学生的英语阅读能力,而后一过程可帮助学生提高说、听、写和译的能力,这与大学英语整个课程要求不谋而合。
(2)拓展学生思维,培养学生跨文化交际意识,帮助学生更好适应全球一体化这一大形势。
文化是语言的来源和基础,没有文化背景的语言是没有生命的。
美国是全球最有影响力的国家之一,同时也是英语语言的主要载体国家。

Dualism in philosophy
Metaphysics 形而上学 Dualism 二元论 Things in themselves 物自体 Agnosticism 不可知论 idealism 唯心主义
Johann Gott源自ieb FichteGerman philosopher. He was one of the founding figures of the philosophical movement known as German idealism. Fichte is often perceived as a figure whose philosophy forms a bridge between the ideas of Kant and those of the German Idealist Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. Recently, philosophers and scholars have begun to appreciate Fichte as an important philosopher in his own right due to his original insights into the nature of selfconsciousness or self-awareness.
