Trialing project-based learning in a new EAP ESP course: A collaborative reflective practice of three college English teachers
Currently in many Chinese universities, the traditional College English course is facing the risk of being ‘marginalized’, replaced or even removed, and many hours previously allocated to the course are now being taken by EAP or ESP. At X University in northern China, a curriculum reform as such is taking place, as a result of which a new course has been created called ‘xue ke’ English. Despite the fact that ‘xue ke’ means subject literally, the course designer has made it clear that subject content is not the target, nor is the course the same as EAP or ESP. This curriculum initiative, while possibly having been justified with a rationale of some kind (e.g. to meet with changing social and/or academic needs of students and/or institutions), this is posing a great challenge for, as well as considerable pressure on, a number of College English teachers who have taught this single course for almost their entire teaching career. In such a context, three teachers formed a peer support group in Semester One this year, to work collaboratively co-tackling the challenge, and they chose Project-Based Learning (PBL) for the new course. This presentation will report on the implementation of this project, including the overall designing, operational procedure, and the teachers’ reflections.
Based on discussion, pre-agreement was reached on the purpose and manner of collaboration as offering peer support for more effective teaching and learning and fulfilling and pleasant professional development. A WeChat group was set up as the chief platform for messaging, idea-sharing, and resource-exchanging. Physical meetings were supplementary, with sound agenda but flexible time, and venues. Mosoteach cloud class (lan mo yun ban ke) was established as a tool for virtual learning, employed both in and after class. Discussions were held at the beginning of the semester which determined only brief outlines for PBL implementation and allowed space for everyone to autonomously explore in their own way. Constant further discussions followed, which generated a great deal of opportunities for peer learning and lesson plan modifications. A reflective journal, in a greater or lesser detailed manner, was also kept by each teacher to record the journey of the collaboration. At the end of the semester, it was commonly recognized that, although challenges existed, the collaboration was overall a success and they were all willing to continue with it and endeavor to refine it to be a more professional and productive approach
Acquisition, Distribution and Perspectives of Healthcare Information in Complementary and Alternative Medicines (CAM)
Merged with duplicate record 10026.1/2500 on 06.20.2017 by CS (TIS)From April 2001 until September 2005 1 worked as a Pilkington research fellow at the
Department of Complementary Medicine, University of Exeter, which in 2002 was
integrated as a unit of the Peninsula Medical School. All the publications presented here
have been carried out during my time of employment in this post at the Complementary
Medicine Unit of the Peninsula Medical School in Exeter, United Kingdom.
During the first few months of my research post in 2001 1 recognized the importance of
the Internet as a tool to obtain healthcare information. Under the supervision of
Professor Edzard Ernst, director of CAM, I carried out five Internet surveys, of which I
collected and summarized the data and drafted the first version of the manuscripts,
which were then finalized by Professor Ernst's comments:
* Health risks over the Internet: advice offered by'medical herbalists' to a pregnant
woman.
* Reflexologists' responses to a patient with abdominal pain -a survey on Internet
advice.
* Internet advice by acupuncturists -a risk factor for cardiovascular patients?
* Are asthma sufferers at risk when consulting chiropractors over the Internet?
* Aspects of MMR / MMR vaccination advice over the Internet
