Generally, a college student knows how to read. It is, however, another question that one can transfer what has learned from textual materials to practical psychological representations effectively, connect it with one’s own previous knowledge, and to apply the understandings thus generated. The education in colleges is quite different from that in high schools which, as we know it, is examination-oriented. On the one hand, it is one of the fundamental issues of teaching language in college that a teacher manage to give students the hard-to-express knowledge. On the other, knowing how to learn is one key to success in the future. College students, therefore, need to adjust themselves and their learning strategies as well. That is, a student has to learn more than text-related knowledge and a teacher to guide the learner to effective learning and application and to teach one how to fully develop personal schema based on what has learned. Moreover, the contents of teaching language are not limited to classics, nor to literature, it has to cover all the linguistic skills necessary for living. This study introduces the case method, the situational writing, the learning strategy, and the thinking-training to the language courses in college. Departing from the tacit knowledge and aiming at the linguistic aspects concerning living, it takes into account the basic for professional knowledge requirements, the learning materials, and the teaching methods. It is hoped that the linguistic courses in college will then feature both linguistic and cultural-thought dimensions (the former is the content dimension and the latter, including the culture, thought, and learning strategy, is the process one). To the design of collegiate language programmes and learning strategies, some ideas are suggested through this study. |
