第四篇:法律英语演讲稿
I don`t believe in law
Good afternoon, honorable judges, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen.Today I want to share my view on law.To tell the truth,alhough I am a sophomore major in law,I don`t believe in it.I mean when acting we ought not to put “lawful ”first.Because in my mind,things that worth believing in are supposed to be noble and nice.They believe the world could be beautiful through arousing and strengthen kindness of man.But law is our last baseline and insurance,whose presumption is that human are wicked.They keep a watchful eye on the weakness of human nature,so it aim at fighting against us.Just when we have no other ways to recover,will us appeal to it.As a reasonable person,how can we regard the last resort as our faith?
In addition,we will realize that law itself has got bogged down in ineffectiveness and injustice while reviewing the current events.It is not the first time that food safety issues,which have catched great attention of the whole society in China,become the central topic of the public.With many years` passing by,statute enacted to resolve this series of problems is constantly improving and continuously pxpending.However,it has`t eliminated even discreasad the eruption of those existing problems.Today more and more poisonous substances
come into the market and turn into our foods under the supervision of law and regulations.I can`t help expecting to ask:how the law function?
Facing the rough administrative enforcement of legislation by urban-management officers,XiaJunfeng,a hawker ,killed two enforcers in self-defence.He was sentensed to death again by the judgement of the last resort,upholding the original verdict.During these trials,in support of the official,courts excluded all the testimonies of legal witnesses regardless of the rights and benefits of the defendant.It is distinct corruption and a violation of law.The urban management system is obviously irrational,what`s worse,this case makes me feel that confronting unreasonable mechanism,individuals have no choice but to be sacrifice of it because of the unfair judgement.In order to handle these social problems ,most people appeal for “sound rule of law”.As far as they are concerned,law can offer solutions to every problemsimply and efficiently in a world struggling with rapid industrialization.Nevertheless,is legislation the source of the scandals and fundamental solutions to them?
Kant haw ever said:"There are two things make me deeply shocked in my innermost being:the starry heavens above me and the moral law within
me.It is morality that the measurement for one`s conscience and the primary rule we ought to abide by.The requirements of morality is much stricter than those of statute.For this reason,one could be legally innocent but morally guilty.Only be strict with yourself under this discipline,shall we prevent ourselves from breaching law and regulations easily,which would be binding then.In a word,rule of morality should be underlying.Law is not everything,but just as what hooks and rope to climber ,.we can`t live without it.I am sure that a true harmonious society will be built as long as rule of law and rule of morality be joint with each other to shine over our heads.

一、通过内容阅读教学实现工具性与人文性目标的统一
在心理学意义上,阅读是读者对由视觉输入的语言文字符号的信息进行解码,获取作者想表达的信息的活动,这一活动是一个心理过程,影响作者对信息进行解码的,是读者已有的经验,也就是图式。由此而言,阅读就是读者看到作者的符号信息,然后比照自己的大脑中的图式,从而形成自己对于作者符号信息的理解。显然,理解的关键在于读者是否具有与作者所表达信息相同的图式。在此意义上,阅读即是基于已有图式理解文本内容。如何帮助学生建构理解阅读文本所需的图式,显然是阅读教学的重要任务之一,而任何一篇英语阅读材料都是由语言图式和内容图式构成的。语言图式是指词汇、语法、篇章结构等方面的语言知识,内容图式则是指语篇的意义(价值取向、情感态度)与文化内涵。影响阅读的首先是语言图式,但最终是内容图式,而内容阅读教学即是引导学生通过阅读理解文本的语言图式和内容图式的教学,正因为此,内容阅读教学在当今全球阅读教学研究中受到广泛重视。[3](一)通过内容阅读教学实现英语课程的工具性目标
英语课程的工具性目标要求英语阅读教学“培养学生通过英语课程掌握基本的英语语言知识,发展英语听、说、读、写技能,初步形成用英语与他人交流的能力,进一步促进思维能力的发展,为今后继续学习英语和用英语学习其他相关科学文化知识奠定基础”[1]。这些目标都需要通过引导学生建构阅读文本的语言图式而实现。
任何阅读理解都首先需要对阅读文本进行理解,而这需要对文本的语词、语句、语篇进行阅读理解,内容阅读教学也是如此。理解文本、建构语言图式,当然需要进行必要的语词、语法、语篇结构的教学,也需要进行相关的阅读理解技能的教学,理解语句、语句之间的联系、语段之间的联系,都可以培养学生的思维能力。
内容阅读教学还强调英语之外的其他相关学科的科学文化知识的阅读理解。联合国教科文组织所属的国际图书馆联合会长期倡导多学科、跨学科的阅读。该机构2007年发布了指导开展跨学科阅读实践的建议报告,2011年再度发布了强调通过多学科的阅读提升学生的综合素养的报告。[4]21世纪伊始,美国教育部就开展了“概念导向的阅读(Concept-oriented Reading)”大型项目,这一项目由美国教育部的教育科学研究所主持,把美国3~9年级的阅读和科学课程整合起来进行阅读教学项目,这一项目目前正在美国一些中小学广泛开展。
显然,内容阅读教学可以通过开展对阅读语篇的理解进行词汇、语法、语篇等语言知识的教学,以及阅
读技能的教学、思维能力的教学和其他科学文化知识的教学,从而实现英语课程的工具性目标。(二)通过内容阅读教学实现英语课程的人文性目标
英语课程的人文性目标要求“英语教学承担着提高学生综合人文素养的任务,即学生通过英语课程能够开阔视野,丰富生活经历,形成跨文化意识,增强爱国主义精神,发展创新能力,形成良好的品格和正确的人生观与价值观”[1]。这些目标都需要通过引导学生建构阅读文本的内容图式而实现。
对于内容阅读教学的早期研究则是源于内容图式对于阅读理解的影响。早在1987年,着名英语教育专家Patricia Carrell就在外语教育着名期刊TESOL Quarterly上发表Content and Formal Schemata in ESL Reading一文,介绍了她组织开展的一项阅读实验,其结论是:对于阅读理解,内容图式的影响远远大于形式图式(即语言图式)。[5] 内容阅读教学不仅仅引导学生理解文本,更要求开展对于阅读文本内容,尤其是文本所表达的价值取向、情感态度、文化内涵的分析、讨论,由此引导学生建构相应的内容图式,从而培养学生的理解文本的价值取向、情感态度和文化内涵的能力,并基于此而提升学生的综合人文素养,实现英语课程的人文性目标。
(三)通过内容阅读教学实现工具性与人文性目标的统一
国内外对于内容阅读的学术研究达成这样的共识:内容阅读教学要求教师在进行阅读教学时,不仅关注阅读技能的培养、对文本信息的获取,引导学生建构阅读文本的语言图式,更要引导学生理解文本内容,引导学生建构阅读文本的内容图式。此即,内容阅读教学可以首先通过理解文本,进行相关的词汇、语法、语篇等语言知识教学,进行阅读技能教学,进行基于语句、语句之间联系、语段之间联系的思维教学。同时,内容阅读教学可以在学生理解文本之后,引导学生展开对于文本的价值取向、情感态度、文化内容的分析、讨论等。显然,内容阅读可以实现英语课程的工具性与人文性目标的统一。在教学中,教师可根据教学内容的特征、学生的水平,进行工具性与人文性教学目标的整合统一,或者以语法、词汇等语言图式的建构为主,或者以价值取向、文化内容等内容图式的建构为主,或者二者都予以强调。
我国当前的英语阅读教学存在主要关注词汇、语法、语篇等语言知识教学,很少关注基于阅读文本发展学生思维能力,而对于文本的价值取向、情感态度、文化内容的分析、讨论则更少。这就更加要求我们在英语教学中着力开展内容阅读教学,引导学生在建构语言图式的同时,建构文本的内容图式。
二、内容阅读教学设计的基础 开展内容阅读教学,首先要
求教师要树立明确的内容阅读教学意识,在进行阅读教学时,既要设定引导学生通过阅读文本建构相应的语言图式的教学目标,更要设定引导学生理解阅读文本的内容,建构相应的内容图式的教学目标,从而通过内容阅读教学实现工具性与人文性目标的统一。
开展内容阅读教学,还要求教师认真分析把握阅读文本的内容特性,尤其是文本的价值取向、作者的情感态度、文本的文化内涵等。任何一篇阅读文本都必然呈现着文本的内容,表达着作者的写作意图,教师在分析阅读文本,尤其是作为课文的阅读文本时,一定要广泛了解作者背景,深刻理解文本内容,准确把握作者写作意图,不要只是把课文当做呈现语法的语言材料。只有这样,教师才能真正引导学生读懂阅读文本,尤其是课文。对于阅读文本的内容图式,我们还可以采用批判性话语分析,进行深度的理解与分析。在具体的分析中,我们可以通过回答以下问题进行深度把握:What opinions/facts/examples/terms did the author mention in the passage? For what purpose(s)did the author present these opinions/facts/examples/terms in the passage? What is the climax of the story? For what purpose(s)did the author present this climax/turning point? For what purpose(s)did the author write this passage? For what purpose(s)did the author write this passage in this way?等等。
开展内容阅读教学,还要求教师自身具有较为广泛的内容图式,对阅读文本有着较为敏锐的理解、感知与认知。这就要求教师进行广泛的阅读,不断丰富自己的内容图式,从而更加合理地开展内容阅读教学。论文电话:*** 电子邮箱:lunwen021@163.com
