abstract:
Aiming at the problems existing in bilingual teaching of computer major, such as students' conflict, teachers' incomprehension and single teaching method, this paper puts forward some improvement schemes.
Key words:
Computer; Bilingual English teaching; education
200 1 Ministry of Education put forward specific and clear requirements for bilingual teaching. Since then, bilingual teaching has made great progress in the rapid development of China. However, the characteristics of computer major determine that the study of this major depends on English to a great extent, which requires us to adopt bilingual teaching mode in the study of computer major. At the same time, there are still some shortcomings in both theory and practice of bilingual teaching in China, which inevitably leads to the unsatisfactory bilingual courses of computer English offered in many colleges and universities. This means that there are still some problems in computer bilingual teaching.
First of all, computers and English are inseparable.
From the day 1946, when the world's first computer came out in the University of Pennsylvania, the computer had an indissoluble bond with English. From then on, English can be seen in every step of computer development. With the rapid development of computers and networks, the software will be updated once every year and a half, and the hardware will be updated even faster-once every three months. With such rapid development, new words and terms emerge one after another. These new words are mainly morphemes and compounds. On the basis of transformation and synthesis, these new words and terms have derived many new words that have never been used before in the computer field.
Many everyday English words that originally appeared in daily life have become professional terms in computer major, and their unique meanings in computer major have been derived. With the rapid development of computer network, a large number of abbreviations have appeared. Whether in program statements, software documents or network information, abbreviations often appear in the form of logos and names. In addition, we should also note that many original computer textbooks, papers and documents are written in English. These articles are more scientific and objective, and are more conducive to computer students' understanding of their professional knowledge. Therefore, English and computer are inseparable, and the advantages of computer bilingual teaching are obvious.
Second, the problems in teaching
1. Students strongly resist bilingual English teaching.
Computer major is recognized as a science and engineering major. Most students will think that learning computer is mainly about learning computer professional knowledge, and bilingual English teaching is not helpful to strengthen computer professional technology and professional knowledge. They will naturally focus on programming, system research and development, and ignore the role of English in computer science, and even ignore the role of English in their future knowledge update. They think that the so-called bilingual teaching is only to help them improve their English, and it has nothing to do with the computer itself, especially for students with poor English, they have greater resistance to it and lower enthusiasm for learning.
2. Teachers' understanding of bilingual English teaching is insufficient.
Similar to students, many teachers also think that bilingual English teaching is not helpful to computer teaching. They don't pay attention to the cultural background of English, ignore the reasons why life English has been transformed into technical terms, and are even less willing to understand its cultural connotation and language knowledge. When preparing lessons, they just translate knowledge and classroom language into English; When teaching, they just explain the superficial meaning of technical terms to students, and then ask students to memorize them. In this way, although bilingual teaching is boring, students' interest in learning is reduced, and they are even more reluctant to sit in the classroom of bilingual computer class.
3. A single generalization of English bilingual teaching methods.
In the bilingual teaching of English for computer majors, many colleges and universities still practice the mode that teachers speak with lesson plans (or translated versions) and students take notes with notebooks. Students with good English foundation can barely keep up with the pace of teachers, while students with poor English foundation can only pay full attention to English understanding, resulting in a dull classroom atmosphere and low interest in learning. Even if some teachers are using courseware, the content of courseware is mainly a single explanation of computer knowledge or English knowledge, but the combination of the two is not seen. What's more, some teachers simply turn computer classes into English classes and concentrate entirely on explaining English.
Third, improve the method
1. Correct students' learning attitude and enhance students' recognition of bilingual teaching.
In the process of teaching, students are always the main body of learning, that is to say, teaching should be student-centered. Therefore, mobilizing students' enthusiasm is fundamental to improve the teaching effect. If students conflict with bilingual teaching, bilingual teaching will inevitably fail. Therefore, teachers should actively mobilize students' enthusiasm and make them understand the necessity and importance of bilingual teaching. For example, teachers can teach English knowledge through the experimental environment of programming language. In this way, on the one hand, students can imperceptibly realize that English is everywhere in computers, and at the same time, they can explain computer knowledge to students with theory in practice. On the other hand, it can also make students understand the importance of English for computer majors in their future work, improve their attention, and thus promote students' recognition of bilingual teaching.
2. Provide a good environment to promote the improvement of teachers' personal ability.
Teachers are the leaders of the classroom, and their guidance is the source of classroom learning effect. At the same time, teachers' personal ability also determines teachers' personal charm, which greatly affects students' recognition of bilingual teaching. According to the provisions of quality education, the main role of students means that in the teaching process, students appear as the main body of learning activities, and students can actively develop their potential. Although teachers' level, teaching content, teaching methods and teaching equipment are very important to students, no clever teacher can replace students' learning. Active participation in classroom teaching is to stimulate students' subjective consciousness, give full play to students' subjective role, and let students actively participate in the classroom teaching process, and learn to learn to learn, learn to cooperate, learn to do things and develop themselves in participation. As a bilingual computer teacher, we should realize the relationship between computer and English. On the one hand, we should constantly improve our understanding of English language and culture, and at the same time, we should constantly update and master the cutting-edge knowledge of computer science. When preparing lessons, they should not only pay attention to the use of English language in class, but also pay attention to the explanation of background knowledge and cultural connotation. On the one hand, I constantly update the knowledge of computer specialty to ensure the diversity of information and means of classroom knowledge teaching.
3. Diversified teaching methods.
In teaching, teachers should take various measures to make full use of classroom resources. Teachers should know the situation of each student, get to know them deeply, care about them and be their bosom friends. With emotional passion, with emotional edification, with their own emotional fire to ignite students' enthusiasm for learning, so that students have a strong interest in what they have learned, and then achieve the effect of "teaching their teachers, spreading their knowledge and learning their ways", and at the same time strive to do a good job in the transformation of students with learning difficulties. Teachers should be good at designing novel and unique questions that can arouse students' voices, so that students can discuss collectively and brainstorm on the basis of independent thinking. Let students solve new problems and master new knowledge on their own. With the popularization of multimedia equipment, bilingual teaching should also make full use of multimedia equipment and provide a large number of flexible and vivid multimedia courseware to fully stimulate students' vision and hearing, so as to practice English on the one hand and learn computers on the other. In the process of teaching, teachers can set up some challenge items, so that students can fully challenge the problems in English in class. On the one hand, this can improve students' interest, on the other hand, it also enhances students' self-confidence. However, it is worth noting that we must not ignore the role of English in computer teaching, but we must not turn computer classes into English classes, focusing entirely on English teaching and putting the cart before the horse.
In the bilingual teaching of computer majors in colleges and universities, bilingual teaching should not be a classroom for students to remember professional terms, nor can it be a classroom for non-English majors to learn computers. Should be around the goal of learning computer professional knowledge, using English as the medium to enhance students' understanding of English cultural connotation and computer professional knowledge.
