商品描述

This book is intended as a theoretical and practical resource for both new and experienced teachers of a second language. It integrates some of the ideas from cognitive linguistics into existing classroom approaches for teaching English as a second language through a series of lesson plans developed by teachers of English from Mainland China and Hong Kong. The lesson plans provide step-by-step instructions for teachers, including resources and an explanation of the theories underpinning each step. These plans, many of which are integrated into specific English as a foreign language textbook units, encourage teachers to be creative by adding or adapting the material they have in order to engage their students. Although the main audience is English teachers, the theoretical principles covered are applicable to teachers of any foreign language and the practical examples, provided in the lesson plans, can be easily modified to teach other languages as well. Similarly, it is not just for teachers working in Chinese contexts but for anyone interested in embodied cognition as a teaching approach. I intend these pages to serve as a companion for teachers to reflect on their existing practices, to provide new ideas and to make them aware of the many factors affecting learning.

本書旨在為新手及有經驗的第二語言教師提供理論與實務資源。它將認知語言學的一些觀點整合進現有的英語作為第二語言的教學方法中,並透過來自中國大陸和香港的英語教師所開發的一系列教案來實現。這些教案為教師提供逐步的指導,包括資源和每個步驟背後理論的解釋。這些計畫中的許多內容已整合進特定的英語作為外語教科書單元,鼓勵教師透過添加或調整材料來激發學生的參與感。雖然主要受眾是英語教師,但所涵蓋的理論原則適用於任何外語教師,而教案中提供的實務範例也可以輕易修改以教授其他語言。同樣地,本書不僅適用於在中國語境中工作的教師,也適合任何對具身認知作為教學方法感興趣的人。我希望這些頁面能成為教師反思現有教學實踐的伴侶,提供新思路,並使他們意識到影響學習的多種因素。
