探索型外语课程：RICH在高中英语教学中的创造性应用 Exploratory Foreign Language Curriculum: The Creative Application of RICH in Senior High English Instruction

RICH课程理念,研究型学习,融合式课程,合作式学习,人文素质的全面提高

 随着全球化的快速发展，外语学习者应当具备精确而恰当使用语言进行跨文化交际的能力。然而，在以教师为中心的传统语言教学模式中，由于学生获取的知识是相当局限的，更不说学习和应用能力了，学习者已经无法满足社会发展的需求。同时，他们学习外语的兴趣不能被充分激发。RICH课程理念是“研究性学习”、“融合型课程”、“合作式学习”和“人文素质的全面发展”的有机结合。新课程理念旨在引导学生以思考者和研究者的身份进入语言课堂，通过跨学科研究培养学生的人文素质和英语实践运用能力，最终提升学生的跨文化交际能力。为了检验RICH在高中英语教学中的适用性，我们采用了定性和定量的研究方法，包括一个学年的教学实验（从2020年到2021年），教学案例的录像和部分受试者的半开放式访谈。研究数据表明，RICH在高中英语新课程标准下创造性地设计和实施以关键能力培养为导向的英语教学有很大的帮助。



With the rapid development of globalization, foreign language learners are supposed to have the ability to use the language in intercultural communication accurately and appropriately. However, guided by the traditional teacher-centred language teaching and learning model, it’s impossible for learners to meet the requirements of social development because the knowledge that students acquire is rather limited, let alone learning and applying abilities. Meanwhile, their interest in learning foreign language can not be fully stimulated. RICH, a creative curriculum concept, is the combination of ‘Research-based Learning’, ‘Integrated Curriculum’, ‘Cooperative Learning’, and ‘Humanistic Outcomes’. The new curriculum concept aims to lead students to enter the language classroom as thinkers and researchers, developing their humanistic qualities and their abilities to use English language in practice through interdisciplinary studies so as to promote their intercultural communicative ability eventually. To test the applicability of RICH in senior high English instruction,  qualitative and quantitative research methods have been employed, including one academic year’s teaching experiment, lasting  from 2020 through 2021, video recordings of instructing cases and semi-open interviews with some subjects. Research data has demonstrated that RICH can be of great help in creatively designing and implementing key competence cultivation-oriented English instructions in the context of the New Curriculum Standards for Senior High English.
